The parcels available for development offer possibilities for a variety of business types including hospitality, restaurants, retail, professional services, light industrial and manufacturing.

Success Story: Now Boarding's business model gets a reboot

Launching a new business during a pandemic comes with uncertainty.

But by early 2021, Adam Jennings felt he had worked out a solid agreement to re-open a former pet boarding facility on land that’s part of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).

Jennings, a dog lover who has a background in finance, had always been fascinated with the pet boarding business. And the location of Now Boarding, on the MSP campus and close to both terminals, caught his eye.

 “I knew there was a lot of risk involved,” said Jennings, the new owner of Now Boarding. “I did my due diligence. Everybody involved was a good partner to work with.”

A year-and-a-half later, his plan to bring back Now Boarding’s business has proven prescient.
