“This store is incredible. They have almost any baking need I could imagine, specifically things that Michael's and other craft stores do not have on-hand.
They had a huge inventory of both individual items for molds, cookie cutters, and piping bag tips as well as sets if I wanted to get a variety. Had such a hard time finding cannoli molds and this store had multiple options of different prices and sizes.
Will come here for any future baking needs. Was very refreshing to be able to see a selection and pick the specific item I needed versus ordering some random sets of things online only to wait for shipping and realize it wasn't exactly what I needed.”
“Great little shop has a little bit of everything that you need and some great paint in hobbies selections for like building dioramas and scenery. They also carry a really top-notch brand of spray paint Hobby paint from Vallejo.”
“Definitely a place you can loose hours in looking around. The random and useful things all over the store. You will find something that you didn't even know you wanted or needed every time”
“What a cool shop! Not a huge selection of back issues, but a nice assortment to look through. Looks like an incredible place for gaming with multiple rooms and table spaces for tournaments, etc.”
“Wacky, thorough, and always guaranteed to make you marvel at their selection. I went here a lot as a kid for plane and car models, and continue to shop for various specialty items, gifts, and the sheer novelty. I have gotten board games, puzzles, die cast Ferraris, sandpaper, model rocket parts, and much more. Also really enjoy bringing my father-in-law, as he is a model train enthusiast - Hub Hobby is paradise for him.”
“One of the best crystal shops I've EVER been to and I've been to A LOT of shops! The staff are super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Don't miss the chance to support this amazing business.”
“Perfect place to shop for the unusual. Whenever I'm in the area I hit all three stores. I've bought gear motors, relays, switches, capacitors, and lots of other parts for my projects. Thomas Edison would have loved this place.
I even bought a 50 pound bale of shredded money to use as packing for my pen business. You never know what you're going to find there. Need a drop tank for a fighter jet? They had one many years ago.”
“It’s a museum, it’s a toy store, it’s a game shop, it’s an experience one must have! Full of stunning Lego (or Lego adjacent) custom builds of military aircraft and vehicles. Showcases the art and skill of true Brick Masters! It is inspiring just to see what can be created!”
“Good process for dropping off trades and fair value on store credit. My one knock was how hard it was to track down in the labyrinthine basement of this big industrial building.”
“Super helpful and insightful visit. I thought I had error coins that I wasn't sure the value of, so I went here and found out they're not errors at all! I also found out the silver that I brought with me at least had some value. The I bought two cool one ounce silver coins. 100% Recommend!! H.”
“I don’t have any reason to give less than 5. Staff is very helpful and has good number of items and items quality is good. I went to buy items for birthday party and found almost all items. Variety of items available with low prices. Why can’t you try when you need party stuff. Good place as well.”
“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”
“Great Staff! Great Prices! Everything you want in a Gold and silver store! Wish I lived a little closer but I live close enough to justify once in a while. Can’t beat their prices anywhere else. What a clean and organized store. I am a kid in a candy store there. It’s fun to window shop to a little but, I advise going there knowing what you want with the set amount of cash your willing to spend each time. Otherwise it’s easy to get carried away. I recommend following them on their social media. Each Saturday they have fantastic deals that are worth checking into! ❤️ ?”
“Super friendly staff I was just browsing and didn’t buy anything but when asking if there was any mtg merch the employee gave me a free sticker sheet! I will be back to pick up singles at some point, appreciate the kindness of the staff.”
“The gentleman that helped me was very nice and informative! I'm new to the whole fountain pen world but needed more ink, hence stopping here. He showed me a few different colors and was a massive help. Definitely shop here!”
“Michaels is my gold standard of craft stores because they always have what I need and plenty of what I want. Prices are always reasonable (because they're always on a fake sale...rule #1, never, ever pay full price for anything).
I love their easy order options and self checkout because it keeps things moving fast.
Merchandise availability can be spotty, not all Michaels are created equal. But I do like this one a lot for supplies (yarn, thread, paint, clay, beads are my mainstays).”
“Went here to pick up a paint marker. They have literally everything the artist in your life could need. The only downside in my opinion is the corporate online sales don't apply in store. And their not willing to adjust the price if their out of stock on a bulk item & you have to purchase each one independently. Other than that the store is always clean the staff are extremely kind & helpful. There's plenty of parking in the ramp.”
“Great employees and great customer services!! I love pre ordering their product and they always give me a call the day it arrived! Will always stick to supporting small business store ! they save me gases from driving around to different locations <3 truly the best! 10/10!”
“We have only been to this location once but had a great experience. They have a large space to sit down and play games. They carry cards, comics, games, and more. There comic section is large than other locations and they carry back issues! We were pleasantly surprised when we came in and they had tons of comic bundles and discounted issues. We were able to find a few new series to check out. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will be back to this location in the future!”

“Broad selection of Pokemon and Sports cards with fair trade-in value and knowledgeable employees. Very glad to have Ultimate Collectibles as our local card shop!”
“Walked in looking for game asked the associate josh if they had it stock they didn’t no biggie but that’s not the end of it I was shown another game exactly like what I was originally looking for and I got a kendama plus josh was nice enough to show me a little demo on how the kendama works so happy with my purchases plus i appreciate the kindness of the associate josh it’s super rare to have someone like him”
“I’m visited the store to browse the D&D book collection Games by James had, hoping to find something that peaked my interest. While doing so an employee, I believed whose name was Ian, walked up and helped me decide from the selection. I loved that I didn’t even have to ask for help, and I loved even more the advice he provided. I ended up walking away satisfied with a Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.”
“Hobby Lobby is a straight-up goldmine if you're into crafts or home decor. I walked in looking for some supplies for a DIY project, and they seriously have everything—paints, beads, fabric, you name it. I ended up grabbing a few rolls of fabric, some paint, and a new picture frame. Spent about $40 total, but it was totally worth it. The store is huge and well-organized, making it easy to find what you need. Plus, they’re always running sales, so you’re getting good deals on top of everything. If you're into crafting or just want to freshen up your space, this place is a must!”

“The customer service is a four out of five stars.
Not five out of five because I had to email a couple of times on the same question even with waiting two or three days for a response, but eventually I got a response. The delivery and packaging of the product is a five out of five stars. Very quick arrival once shipped with no damage to my item. The item itself five out of five stars. Nicely designed true to size and historical accuracy. Only had the danish axe for a few hours, but it’s it comes across well made and sturdy. It’s surprisingly lightweight compared to the berserker axe I have from a different company, but still comes across as good quality and well made a great addition to the collection of tools my ancestors used when they were on Midgard. Overall five out of five stars for arms-n-armor I’d recommend this company and their products.”
“I had stopped by with my 7 year old son who is just getting into coin collecting and had a tremendously great experience visiting the coin shop. My son was given some neat gifts and great advice for his start in collecting and couldn't have had a better time visiting.
We will definitely be back soon.
Thanks again!”
“Love Micheal’s. As craft store options become more sparse Michaels always has a variety of craft options. It’s better to in store than shop online in my opinion. They actually had a yarn for a project that I started a few years ago still in stock.
My kids love the store as well.”
“I couldn't find what I came in for so an associate tried to help me find it. We were unsuccessful but she really did all she could to help me. I truly appreciate this That's why I'm giving this 4 stars.
Just when I was thinking Michael's had everything!”
“Emil and I talked art. I mean, we got into the weeds. What a delight. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An artist in Michael’s? Not as common as you’d think.
She knows what she knows, and knows what she doesn’t know, and she knows the difference.
Talking art is sooo cool!”
“Super friendly even when they are busy. They answered my beginner questions. Lots of variety of sealed boxes for sports cards and pokemon. Good selection of sleeves and storage boxes for cards. I would recommend them”
