“Hidden gem! this place is a labyrinthine maze of cool treasures around every corner. As another review said, I also got lost through CDs in the basement. The music selection is vast and more curated than your average antique store (I am used to sorting through massive stacks of Christmas and church music to find anything that interests me). Employees were all kind and every time my hands were full of things I was going to buy, one would appear to offer to bring it to the front for me so I could continue to browse. Will absolutely be coming back, hopefully for years to come.”
“A great selection of brands and high-quality consigned items. I appreciated that the building was well air-conditioned so I stayed cool when trying on clothes. All 3 staff members I spoke with today were very friendly and welcoming!”
“A thrift store with a decent sized mens collection?! No way! Plenty of mens jackets, shirts, and sweaters! I actually managed to find a long wool overcoat there (in my size!) what wasn't 50% polyester for sub $100. The outercoat itself was wool with a nylon lining. Plenty of old grandpa sweaters, which always rock, and flannels.
This store 100% has my future business.”
“I've been shopping here for years now and it's one of my favourite spots in the Twin Cities. First of all, the owners are just really kind and welcoming people. Secondly, it's one of those shops where I never come away empty handed. Lots of well selected cool vintage items, a nice selection of clothes and there's always some great records in stock. It's well organised and even the music playing is usually great. Just a really cool place to check out.”
“Great decor & always fun to search for just the right item. Staff is friendly & helpful. I always find what I need to add finishing touch to my decor. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a treasure hunt.”
“My son and I visited here for the first time. He/him is very petite but did find something he liked. I found a perfect hat. There is soooo much in this store! 2 concerns, women sizes only go to large. And it it so tight it is completely disabled impossible!! So only 4 stars. However, we'll be going back! Cool place.”
“I’ve been going to Lula’s for a long time.Her reputation in the city is unmatched. And not just for fab party dresses but she might put out a rack out of high-waisted wide-leg 70’s pants that you can't find anywhere else or a pair of 60's virgin wranglers to go with that cashmere coat or summer crop top. It always feels fresh and new when you walk in the store and you'll feel the same when you walk out.But the best part is Hayley.How could you not like someone named after Hayley Mills.Not only does she treat every garment with care and love, she treats all her customers the same.”
“One of my favorite places to shop! This store is smaller than most Turn Styles but it’s less overwhelming and full of great finds. I really love the staff here too, very friendly and helpful.”
“I loved this shop! It was my first time and it seemed to be the only one of its kind open on Sunday. Each seller has their own style, yet they all compliment to make a very dynamic place to spend some of a day off. Mostly vintage but what is super special is some of the original art....seems like they score some interesting lots. They let me take pics of things I may want to come back for. Customer service was incredible and I actually had a very meaningful conversation with Chris, whi was running the show. Very knowledgeable. Ill be back for sure!”
“A vintage clothing store that actually has vintage clothing! I mean spearpoints, swing ties, wide lapels and dainty caps, not late 1990s tshirts that are somehow considered vintage now.Stunning selection, and everything is labeled correctly. I spent almost a half hour just looking at all their ties, and another hour just going through the men's section.Decent prices as well, they know what they have, but it's not online vintage resellers levels of inflated.Highly recommend for someone trying to get true vintage pieces”
“I've gotten very good deals on jeans in excellent condition there - it all depends which day you go. A few cool teeshirts. Very inexpensive lightbulbs. An excellent deal on a very nice laptop case.
On the other hand, the electronic hardware tends to be junk. There are a lot of battery-driven hand drills there without the batteries ..... probably because you can't buy replacement batteries for that model any longer (my experience).
Also the prices on kitchen items are too high for second-hand.
I've even seen packages of greeting cards which had writing in them!”
“I donate here regularly and will continue to do so. They make it very easy, and I love their mission! Shopping here I’ve always found great finds! My kids also enjoy the toy aisle and find great things to spend their allowance money on. Staff have been kind and courteous; on the quiet side which I don’t mind at all! Recommend!”
“Some of the items are a bit expensive but they do have a big selection of items and the store is clean and organized. I found this little guy there today paid $15 which i found to be on the higher price but still took it lol.”
“They carry quality clothing. They are very selective on what they'll take, which is disappointing when you're trying to sell, but great when you're shopping. The employees have always been super friendly.”
“encore is incredibly well organized and you can find so many unique pieces. if you’re a teen/adolescent, i’d maybe recommend coming here. it’s pretty hit or miss but very doable to find banger statement pieces. additionally, encore has a discount system in which if an article of clothing has been on the racks for a certain amount of time, you can receive a 50% or 75% off. many of the pieces are carefully handpicked to ensure that customers only get the best of the best. the vintage section at the bottom of the store is totally worth checking out too even if you’re not just to vintage clothing! the owners are such lovely people and are incredibly helpful.”
