BLOOMINGTON — The first part of the Mall of America’s new $325 million addition is now open to the public. 

Visitors can now access the third floor of the expansion along the north side of the mall, which has already been populated by a handful of eateries such as Burger King, Qdoba and Panda Express in a food court dubbed Culinary on North.

The new food court also includes a wall of windows that look out onto the nearby Ikea store and the airport.

Shoppers can also look down into the 6,000-square foot-atrium, but the first and second floors won’t be accessible until later this year.

Except for the Italian fast-casual chain Piada, the mall has not named any other new tenants for the space.
