Couple Settles into Ownership of Abrakadoodle-Minneapolis
Gertrud and Andres Ableidinger manage the children's art program that serves Eden Prairie, Edina, Golden Valley, Maple Grove, New Hope, Minnetonka, Plymouth, St. Louis Park and Wayzata.

Gertrud and Andres Ableidinger recently took on a new role into their family—owners of the Abrakadoodle location in Plymouth.
“We are delighted to welcome Gertrud and Andres to our award-winning Abrakadoodle franchise system,” said Rosemarie Hartnett, CFE, President and Co-Founder of Abrakadoodle, Inc. “With Gertrud’s passion for art as a graphic designer, artist and with a degree in childhood education, in addition to Andres’ MBA and management expertise, I am confident they will be warmly received in Minneapolis, a community that understands the benefits of art education that cultivates creativity.”
