“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 selection, friendly and helpful staff. A bit pricey however selection of items/sizes and being able to get a couple things for gifts helped me decide to proceed with purchase. Glad I did! The receiver of the jacket and vest loved them!”
“HQ located in Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka Minnesota is hands down the coolest sports store to buy Vikings jerseys, other types of paraphernalia for the Minnesota Twins karma golden Gophers, Minnesota Wild and the Timberwolves.
They have replica helmets, jerseys, autographed memorabilia, photos, baseballs, and clothing for adults as well as children just to name a few items that they carry. The owner Shawn is extremely knowledgeable in this area and can help you find whatever you're looking for. It's the perfect place to buy a gift for someone in your life who loves the Minnesota sports teams.
They are also well known for all the autograph events that they have. They bring in celebrities throughout the sports world including players on all the professional sports teams in Minnesota as well as some retired athletes like Brett Favre. They have a calendar of events and it's very easy to be involved and get one of your items signed. I believe they also do photo opportunities along with that.
Fan HQ has also done some cool music events in town including an evening with Lita Ford from the runaways, Ace Frehley of kiss, Tommy Thayer of kiss, Bruce Kulick of kiss and other amazing musicians. If you've never been to the store you need to stop and visit. At the very least find them on socials and follow them for all the incredible events that they host”

“I am so thankful to have Hartley Woodward in the area. Brook has helped me with everything from breeches and fit my long legs to saddle fitting on a variety of horses for dressage and jumping. She’s been patient over the years with multiple horses. Shes helped me with tack needs as the young horses and I change over time. And finally, she keeps us all dressed appropriately for the ever changing weather. I can’t thank her enough for sharing the benefit of her experience with me over the years.”
“Great hockey shop in a convenient location attached to the STMA arena. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. There is plenty of inventory to pick up what you need and the skate sharpening is on point.”
“Overall, it’s a good store. They have a nice selection of items but options are limited for a few things. Most of the items are high quality but they are also expensive. You can find many discounts though.”
“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!”
“I very much appreciate having this store so close to our home and the Plymouth Ice Center, where my kids and I skate. I like the point system from purchases, their Wiggle hat selection, the plethora of sticks and gear, lots of apparel, and free sharpening for a year with the purchase of skates. When the year expired in my daughter's last pair of skates, we opted to purchase sharpening for another year for around $65-70 (don't recall exactly) which is a very good deal for someone who plays hockey year round. We also purchased the same deal for my son's skates, who plays hockey most of the year. The service is personable and never pushy. It's an awesome store and I am sure us locals are thrilled to have it nearby.”
“Haven’t had a set of clubs for a few years and wanted to get back into golf. Set up a Fitting with Noah Erickson and he definitely took care of me. He was very patient as we tried a ton of different clubs, I didn’t feel rushed at all in the two hours we worked together. Ill be a returning customer.Josh L”
“After struggling to return shoes that I ordered online and had been sent the wrong size, the staff at this location was kind and extremely helpful. All 3 employees helped me exchange the shoes and even price matched the deal I had gotten originally. I would recommend this location over any other in the twin cities.”
“I’ve bought quite a few plain score boards from these guys. They’re high quality and I love being able to stain and design them how I want at home. I’ve gotten many compliments from family on them. Hoping they come back in stock soon so I can buy more as gifts for family??”
“I ordered two of the range carts for my husband and son for Christmas. They couldn’t have been more surprised and happy! The carts are extremely well made, shipped fast and one had a little catch issue which was quickly resolved. Great customer service!! I am so impressed with this company and now looking to buy accessories! Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Gregg had helped me out with 3 of my bowling balls and each time he does a fantastic job at getting all of the info needed to do it correctly the first time. If you ever need a ball to be drilled, plugged, or to find you preferred axis point I would highly recommend going to see Gregg for it.”
“Great selection alot of hey dudes. I wish they had red hey dudes. Gray and dark blue is also fire but more of a red fan. But yes if your looking for a decent price for a good shoe. I recommend.”
“When I walked into Lululemon, I was approached by Sean, and he was very helpful in informing me about the different models of pants in the men’s section that I was looking at. He also offered me items based on my height since I’m taller and suggested what would fit best for me. He was extremely helpful, and I respected that. He even showed me a size that would fit me that was on sale, which he grabbed from the back. Overall, my experience at Lululemon in Minnetonka was very good.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I don’t often leave reviews but I was super impressed with how genuinely kind, informative, and helpful the employees were. I usually run from sale staff but the individuals working at this location were absolutely lovely.”
“Two of my buddies knocked over a baseball mannequin and broke one of the legs and four amazing employees (Braden, Prince, Carter, and Sam) helped us get it back in place an fixed while letting us enjoy the show. 5 Stars would recommend!”
“I have been an avid cyclist for about 10 years but recently experienced some sensitive chafing issues. I made an appointment for a bike fit and was worried that the nature of the issue would make it awkward to discuss.
Not so at all. Danny was incredibly matter of fact and professional and spent the hour making adjustments to be sure that I would be comfortable going forward.
I felt heard which does not always happen as a woman in a bike shop.
It was a great experience and I will recommend Gear West and specifically Danny's bike fit to my cycling friends.”
