An Eden Prairie Walmart was shut down for more than three hours Monday because of a bomb threat. Nothing suspicious was found, Eden Prairie police said.
The store at 12195 Singletree Lane reopened around 1:30 p.m. after dogs checked for explosive devices.
The threat was discovered about 10:30 a.m., and the store was evacuated. Officials have not said how the threat was received.
Nearby Jake's City Grille was allowed to reopen shortly after noon, police said.
Eden Prairie police and dog teams from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport helped search the store.
