STILLWATER, MN — Cooks of Crocus Hill recently closed its spot on Main Street in Stillwater and is searching for a new location, according to reports.

Owners Karl Benson and Marie Dwyer opened the kitchenware store, which also offered cooking classes, in 2012 but were forced to close in mid-April after they couldn’t agree on a new lease with the owner of the building at 324 Main St., the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported.

The owners told the publication they hope to reopen at a new location in the St. Croix River Valley, the report states.
