After having a poor experience at another twin cities location, I decided to give this BB&B a shot to determine if it's the entire company or just certain locations that left a lot to be desired. This location has a great selection of items in all departments. I have shopped here twice now, and overall I have no complaints. Both times I've visited this particular store, I opted for them over Target for the items I was in the market for just because I had a coupon. Turns out they had what I was looking for and BEYOND! :P I even found the softest premium pet bed for my dog, and she totally loves it! It was so much cuter than most other dog beds in its price range--matches our living room rug (also from BB&B) perfectly! Ok so enough about dog beds...they do have a pretty nice pet department, a great offering of candles/home fragrance, and a plethora of bed, bath, kitchen and dining items. Today we were in search of a decorative bathroom garbage can that looked nice but didn't cost a fortune. Although some of the ones we liked were as much as $40, we found one that will be perfect for $9.99. Since we didn't spend so much on the garbage can, we found a few other items to round out our sale, and we put our coupon to good use! The Minnetonka Bed Bath & Beyond has successfully changed my opinion about the brand. I may not come here for every household need (after all, a girl's gotta visit Ikea at least a couple times a year), but I will certainly swing in the next time a coupon shows up in my mailbox! :)

January 2012 Edit: Their pet department isn't as large as it once was, which is a trend I've noticed at other locations as well :( On the plus side, I recently returned an item here that I had used a coupon to purchase--I was shocked, and extremely pleased when the cashier made sure to credit the coupon to my new purchase so I didn't lose my discount just for returning my original item! Score :) read more
