Ellen was an amazing help! She helped me around the store, showed me the candy boxes creation, the soda wall and even had some tasty recommendations! I truly believe she deserves a bonus or raise! She was enthusiastic and funny too. I’ve gone twice and plan to go again!

Absolutely love this store! My wife and I recently moved to MN and we found this place through word of mouth. Ellen has been so wonderful every time we come in, she is super fun and personable. That alone sold us on the store before we even had a chance to buy anything the first time. (Give her a raise!)
