Some shops are empty and others are being remodeled and opening again. I visited on a Friday (Valentine's Day) and it was pretty steady but not packed, I could find a place to sit down and relax by myself if I wanted to (and I did!) Shop selection is meh, I went into a few but didn't find anything to purchase which is just fine by me - I needed a place to hang out that was warm and this was it! Bubble tea, Caribou and smoothies to choose from - I didn't see a food court but I wasn't particularly looking.

Ridgedale is a pretty chill mall. I usually end up here for happy hour at Kona then we walk around…read moreto walk the food & drinks off after. There's only a handful of store I really shop at here but I'm sure overall there's something for everyone. I feel like Ridgedale has been one of the consistent malls (as far as growing up in MN and seeing a lot of malls struggle to keep stores) that never felt like it was closing. I do wish they would decorate more especially for the holidays. They have the Santa pop up in the middle of the mall which is cute but that's its own experience. Also a somewhat better food court would be cool, but there are a ton of options for food outside of the mall/in the area. They do host cool events from time to time like the traveling Hello Kitty Cafe, which is cool.

I never felt rushed like it can be sometimes when a store is closing for the night...the cashier's were all nice and still smiling from the day. THANK YOU!

It was clean, well lit, and I found my way around with ease once I figured out where things were. Seriously a giant target. And a very nice one. Their deli selection was also amazing.

I have been to Southtown Center a couple of times. It has TJ Maxx and Kohl's, which are two stores…read morethat I enjoy shopping at when I am stateside. Southtown Center is a mall-plaza hybrid. TJ Maxx is in a mall structure. Kohl's, across from TJ Maxx, is a part of the plaza style. It's different. There are quite a number of stores that I have yet to visit. I finally got around to visiting Starbucks. Traffic is one-way in that parking lot. Most folks don't care, though! I am still relatively new to this area. I would like to visit the Applebee's, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond the next time that I am shopping here. There is plenty of parking. I tend to park in the middle of the parking lot when I visit Kohl's and TJ Maxx. I just walk over without moving my car. I like this place. It has stores that I frequent and I tend to find good deals. I then treat myself to a drink at Starbucks and my day is completed. (7)

(Check out the bathroom, it is like The Shining) Great restaurants about, Red Cow is right nearby and Raaj has great food! The are lots of bus lines that go through here and they have plenty of free parking. Some new restaurants are also going in, which I am eager to try. The Byerly's/Lunds grocery store is top notch and the Edina Liquor store there, is also great. Lots of options for a fun afternoon in Edina!

I've driven by and through a few times, but have never realized how much great stuff is over here…read more When I was over here today, I had an" ah ha "moment of...so this is where this is. Pig and Fiddle and a ton of other restaurants, shops and cute little businesses and it's so convenient to get over to Uptown. Parking is not that bad, but I was there early. I can see where it would get congested and hard to park. Definitely going to make it a point to get over to this part of France Avenue more. Love this area!

First time to MOA. I was very pleased. It was easy to take the train from the airport to here…read more It was nice to easily be able to store luggage in lockers prior to coming into the mall. The MOA was clean, well maintained and orderly. Plenty of signage and kiosks and info desks to guide you. We felt safe the whole to time. There is an amazing amount of stores to browse. Multiple stores of everything you want. Large walking corridors so it didn't feel overly crowded. Lots of fun attractions to admire as you walk. We found plenty of food options as well. The MOA is very attractive. Lots of lighting and decorative touches to make you feel welcome. Usually you can find a bench to sit on if you need a break. Overall good experience!

I'm not big on malls, but this is one of those things I guess you have to try at least once. It's…read moreevery mall you've ever been to mashed into one gargantuan building with all of humanity stuffed inside. More space for more stores, more food options, more parking lots and garages, and a miniature amusement park in the middle. My son and I are from NJ and he insisted on coming here during our roadtrip across America. He's not a big shopper but loved the amusement park of course. I went on one of the rides with him and he went on a few more on his own. The wait for the rides was pretty long. The whole thing is quite an impressive display of American consumerism and just plain over-the-top, go-big-or-go-home insanity. It's fine for a few hours, but after a while it can become sensory overload, and I'm happy to cross it off my bucket list and move on with the roadtrip.

I realize one reason why I enjoy staying in Eagan. There is lots of shopping and eating to do!…read more Last Sunday, I came to Eagan Promenade to shop at Barnes & Noble, and TJ Maxx. I only saw a fraction of the box stores and food joints here. I enjoyed being here that I returned to the former store a day later. Barnes & Noble is one of the better ones that I have been to. There were lots of items on sale. While browsing, I got a free drink sample from the cafe. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Pier 1 is still there. Sadly, it will be closed soon. There is liquidation sale happening as I write this review. I also enjoyed visiting TJ Maxx. It has the largest selection of Kipling bags that I have ever seen. Prices are good on quality items. Lunds & Byerlys is the supermarket that anchors this plaza. It is huge! I will need to check it out down the road. There are eateries, too. Wild Buffalo Wings, Panda Express, and Panera Bread are some of the names that I saw while I was here. I have been told that Eagan Promenade had a water fountain in the summertime. I'd have to return when it's warmer to admire it. There is plenty of parking. I will definitely come back and check out more of it. (107)

We were told they were out of stock, and the girls were pretty disappointed. But as we were checking out, one of the associates went above and beyond and found a package for each of them. The girls were so excited, and their kindness really made our day. It's rare to see that level of customer service, especially for something so small. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made our visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!

They have a lot of Sanrio (which I love, especially anything Kuromi), anime, HP, gaming (like Pac-Man, Mario, Minecraft, etc.) and trendy items. I sometimes really good quality art supplies like alcohol markers cute stationery. I also love blind boxes and find them a few dollars cheaper here vs. other retailers. I love graphic tees & love that they have a lot of them, however the displays on the wall don't match the cubes under. This area can also be ever disorganized. The checkout is setup like self checkout terminals but sometimes the staff stand at them and scan your items.

All of J's stop off's and finds usually come with a story. Yesterday he wandered into Hill-Valley…read moreBoutique and came home to tell me that he met a really cool store owner and that we should stop back. So today, after hitting up the Alamo Flea market, we stopped back into Hill-Valley. I think Hill Valley, and automatically think of Back to the Future, but you'll have to ask Liz for meaning. Liz , the owner is outgoing and full of enthusiasm about her store which I can understand. It's great to hear what people are passionate about and great to see them putting their vision into reality. Store is full of a lot of great find and trips down memory lane. A lot of the items she had came from what her family already had. - old furniture -china -old watches - records -consignment -candy cigarettes -clothes -clocks And more... I never used to be into looking at old stuff, but J loves it and I'm learning to appreciate the nostalgia and quintessential essence of old things. Great find and a great way to spend an afternoon.

THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!…read more Trinkets, Jewelry, and Furniture! Oh my! Once again I found a cute little shop while out and about on my day off. I have been here twice now, and both times I have not left empty handed. My first time I left with $15 Nike Hightops that looked immaculate if they were not brand new. I also scored a button up flannel shirt (comfy as all get out!) for only $5... yes, FIVE BUCKS! On my second trip to Hill Valley Boutique I scored the most adorable Red Sunglasses for $12. The store is full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered, but it's not overwhelming like some vintage/thrift stores you'll find. Not only that, but the atmosphere is so welcoming! There's music playing, the shop owner is adorable and sweet, and did I forget to mention there is a CAFE that is CONNECTED to the shop?!? Yep. This place is pretty neat-o. I'm excited to bring some friends to check out the shop and have a lunch at Hill-Valley Cafe nextdoor!
