R.I.P. Loiselle Liquor / Lake Superior Liquor Cabinet
The former Loiselle Liquor store in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood was demolished last week. It was the oldest liquor store in Duluth, established in 1934. The store was sold in 2022 and took a new name — Lake Superior Liquor Cabinet — but eventually closed. The building was sold to Essentia Health in April.
The two-story brick structure at 413 E. Fourth St. was constructed in 1893 as the Goering Block.
In addition to the former Loiselle building, Essentia Health also recently purchased two neighboring properties — the Round-up Bar & Grill at 415 E. Fourth St. and the former Gregorich Family Dental building at 421 E. Fourth St.
Loiselle Liquor was owned and operated by the Loiselle family for 88 years. (2022 photo by Mark Nicklawske).
