“Walking into the General Store of Minnetonka is like stepping into your grandma’s attic—if grandma had impeccable taste, curated lighting, and a snack aisle that could cause spontaneous emotional healing. It’s a glorious mashup of gifts, gourmet treats, cozy clothes, and home décor that whispers, “You need this ceramic squirrel in a sombrero. Trust me.”
Every corner holds a delightful surprise. One minute you’re admiring candles that smell like “Autumn’s Flannel Pajamas,” and the next you’re clutching a mug with Prince’s face and wondering how your life led up to this exact moment. Memorabilia and nostalgic treasures abound—half museum, half shopping spree, and completely charming.
? Clothing - Comfort meets whimsy.
? Food - Delicious enough to make your diet give up in defeat.
?️ Home Décor - If your walls could talk, they'd ask for everything here.
Whether you're gift-hunting, memory-lane-strolling, or just there for the novelty socks, the General Store of Minnetonka makes you smile and then somehow convinces you to buy three things you didn’t know you couldn’t live without.”
“Stopping at Lotus Lake is a Small Business Saturday tradition in my family! The shop is full of cute gifts that are reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, helpful, and always available to answer questions or provide recommendations.”
“The cutest little Christian store in the area! There's so much to chose from. From items with quotes, to clothing items, children's toys, Christmas items, kitchen items, jewelry, books, journals, and so much more! We went here looking for a few gifts for someone we know that just lost her mom and we found the perfect candle and devotional book. The employees are very friendly and there if you have any questions. The price range varies depending on the item. You can find things that are reasonable priced to more expensive pieces. I loved the cozy atmosphere. This is a store you could walk around over and over again and find things you didn't see before!”

“Golden Rule is an absolute oasis. Every corner of the shop is filled with beautiful things for your eyes to feast upon, and it always smells magnificent. It truly is an experience from the moment you pass through the front door. Not to mention the immaculate collection of art, candles, jewelry, and the best (and cutest) sock section in the twin cities! I recommend this shop to everyone that I know, from locals to visitors. There’s something for everyone!”

“I can't say enough how helpful these ladies were today!! They had just gotten their inventory in and were willing to go through their boxes to help me find the perfect decanter. Beautiful product and amazing service. Thanks so much Ladies!!”
“This is my go to place for gifts especially weddings and showers! Great opportunity to have your money go to a good cause as all proceeds support ministries of various kinds.”
“I really like this store. To be fair, it is very hard to see everything with the clutter. If you need lamp repair parts they probably have it. Great Scandinavian items too. Lots of books and assorted merchandise. Prices were reasonable and you can negotiate a bit.”
“All things lake life available here. High end, beautiful pieces, lots of original art, things for your lake house and bigger signs, furniture and rugs on the lower level downstairs!”

“I love the Great Lakes piece that Leigh made. It hangs in my office, and I see it every day. We also have garden art from Leigh that is a great addition to the flower beds. I highly recommend Hardware Iron & Stone!”
