Ricci’s Saloon

14777 Forest Blvd. N

Ricci’s Saloon was started by former 3M programmer Bob Ricci in about January 1970.

In June 1970 he remodeled the place to take on a Western look.  He also added a new dancing area and bandstand.  From December 1970 to at least March 1971, the all-female Rockettes were the house band.  Snowmobilers made up a large part of his business.
