“My husband and I were interested in getting some of our newer and older Pokemon cards graded and didn’t know where to start. This store was recommended to us by a friend so we decided to give it a shot. We weren’t really sure what was/was not worth getting graded so we just walked in with our binders of cards.
The shop itself is very clean and nice and we looked around a bit before we got help. The guy that helped us was very nice (didn’t get his name but has a ginger beard) and took the time to look at our cards and narrow down what we were looking for and what we wanted graded and what ones to keep an eye on and maybe grade later. He was very informative and knowledgeable and we were all having good conversations and some laughs. He was nice enough to put some of the cards we decided to not grade into top loaders for us as well as some of my older cards that would not grade high but were nostalgic to me.
We ended up deciding on grading three cards to start and they make the process very easy to do. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable shop to get some PSA grading done on their Pokemon cards! They also do lots of events and things for kids too so check them out and see if they have something up your alley!”
“Joe (young Buck employee) and Deb are amazing. I am brand new to Archery. I did not know anything about what I needed to start out in it. I came in and they set me up! They measured twice on everything and have me set up for success, I can't wait to take a class with this shop”
“I’m new to distance running and needed to invest in some better running shoes. The guy who helped me was so helpful and approachable, and answers all of my long list of questions. Super excited to run in my new shoes!!”
“Great people, place, and products. The shop has a beautiful 40 yard range that is the best I've seen in the state. Great place to shoot; 24 hr access as a member is really handy.If you're having any kind of issues with your bow or equipment setup. It's a great place to go to get things sorted out and shooting well. Great guys that want to do a good job for you.”
“One of my best retail experiences ever! Shannon was fantastic, accommodating, and informative. Brought a small order in at 2pm, told Shannon what I'd like, on a short notice, and She had it ready to go the next day. Amazing! Thank you Shannon!Dealt with letterman sports (never again) and always got "blah blah, we can't do that, you have to do this, mngr blaming his staff, " cuz they're high school kids" right in front of 4 of them last time I was there.”
“I've been a long time customer of REI and have never been let down. I went to the Maple Grove location today and the entire team went above and beyond for myself and my daughter. Lynn helped my daughter find the perfect trail runners after months of searching. Blake was endlessly patient with my bike questions and service requests. Eddie absolutely crushed fitting my daughter with a real multi-day backpack. She can be tricky to please and he was dedicated to finding her the perfect pack. It was an amazing day for the whole team!”
“Wide variety of footwear. Found what I wanted and a good price as well. Sales Associate at the register was great. Very friendly, and very welcoming. I hope this location continues to be here I will be back for additional footwear.”
“Each Christmas season they have embroidered my kiddos name on something special for me- 3 day turnover was the longest wait the days prior to xmas. Affordable embroidery that allows you to customize thread colour. Great local HS and north graphic tees available. Perfect for local gift giving! I love the Sota Shop!”
“Great customer service, polite and kind made my return easy and very informative on the benefits to having a Famous Footwear card, definitely will apply in the future. Thank you so much for a great experience!”
“New to hockey, Kyle will take care of you. I plan to give all my business to you guys because of his professionalism and commitment to getting you the best without expecting a purchase if you’re not comfortable with it. Thanks HTH and Kyle.”
“As a Novice runner and not knowing much about shoes I was blown away with the knowledge and customer service I received when I went into the RR. Dominic (and his associate) were more than welcoming and guided me through the process of which shoe would fit my needs and explained why. Extremely happy with the service and quality of this RR and will be recommending this place to all my fellow runners!”
“Great place to shop! Mark G was so helpful at helping get us set up with a rod and reel. Very knowledgeable for this rookie fisher mom setting the kids up. Thank you!”
“The two ladies holding the store down were incredibly helpful. I must of had 5 or 6 pairs of shoes brought out to me and only liking 1 pair. Just as I walked in there a was a customer upset about something and was unbelievably rude to one of the female employees. She dealt with it like a CHAMP! Lol for real tho! Applause ? to her. They should have some more security in there for the women. I can imagine this was not the employees first run in with a disgruntled idiot :) thanks yall!”
“I came on two separate occasions for shoes and socks, and Craig helped me. He has excellent customer service skills. I highly recommend this location if you want to be treated well by staff such as Craig. Keep up the great work!”
“It was an amazing experience. The customer caused the problem—me. Lois, Kylie, and Scott all went to bat, offering above-and-beyond service to help me. If all retailers offered this customer service, people would reconsider buying from online retailers.”
“Great selection of hockey gear and huge variety of sticks in different colors. Nice apparel section and the guys working there are very friendly. They also have football, baseball and lacrosse.”
“Great place to work with to get bowling equipment. The hours aren’t so great, but that’s the only thing difficult about doing business here. Awesome service and willingness to help a customer. Definitely worth the work around for the availability!”
“Super friendly people super helpful. I had to buy a bra for my wife was embarrassed to ask a female about sizing and yet they were pure professionals. Thank you for making it so easy.”
“It's huge! It is the biggest famous footwear in the state of Minnesota. I'd go there more often, but it's a for drive from were I live. So we go there when we are up there for any reason”
“It is a nice place but a bit hard to find stuff, never got asked if I needed help (i was not finding what I wanted) finally was frustrated and left. Maybe more customer focused would help.”
“The staff were extraordinarily helpful and personable. As a female Veteran, it was great to have a woman staff member with former military service assist me. I will definitely be back at this store. All the staff were wonderful, the quality of shoes and joggers are exceptional.”
“Champlin Athletic has always been a great place for me and my family.... They have done many and I mean many decorated projects for me and my family's needs....
