I have been inside a number of times and the store is generally pretty well stocked although it varies heavily from week to week - especially with the timing of sports seasons. I ended up getting a pair of ice skates from here for about $80 and they had sharpened them for me. I have been using them for about 2 years since then and they have held up great although I am an infrequent skater. The staff were very helpful with finding me the right size skates - something which is apparently a lot trickier than I would have expected (you will need to get a lot smaller than you might think). They also have cheap used tennis balls which I needed a few of anyway so I grabbed some at the checkout.

This store opened in early October 2013 and it seemed packed during its grand opening week…read more What I liked right off the bat was that this store hired a couple of male employees -- I don't think I see this often for an all-women's apparel store. Even more impressive was that these men looked excited when they talked about the denim, fabric, colors, textures, and cuts of different apparel! If you wanted, you could go into Madewell, try on a bunch of clothes, and have 2-3 employees critique your outfits. And they don't seem to mind if you walk out of the store without a purchase. Workers at Madewell (S. Mpls & MOA) look like they love their work, the fashion industry, their company, and helping people look good. That's how I can tell that this store has top-notch employees and managers. Well done, Madewell.

I am a frequent shopper at Madewell, a few times a month to be exact. I recently went into the Mall…read moreof America store to exchange a jacket that had a part of it rip off. I had only worn the jacket about 3 times because I had just moved from Southern California. When I originally purchased the jacket two weeks prior it was 20% off, the jacket was now 40% off. When I asked if I could completely return the jacket and re buy it so I could get the extra discount I was told no. Not only was I told no but the reasoning was because I may have destroyed the jacket on PURPOSE to get a discount. Come to find out, this woman is one of the store managers. Her name is Madeline, according to my receipt. I am baffled that this is how customers are treated, as the store where I typically shop in California is full of a bunch of wonderful employees. Out of curiosity, I drove over to the Edina store to see if this was typical protocol for Madewell stores in this area. I had a very pleasant experience there and will continue to do all my Madewell shopping at the Edina location. I had a really nice woman by the name of Ariana help me out. She was extremely helpful and very sweet! The Bloomington store could have had another loyal customer had they not accused me of purposely destroying a product. If you want people to spend money at your store it's best to treat them with respect!

This person in your life is not someone that you know very well. Spoiler alert: You are me. Orvis to the rescue! This Orvis is located exceptionally conveniently for me, and I can always find parking. The clean, bright, and welcoming store is full of good things, from outerwear to sweaters to stuff for your pup and fly fishing gear. The recipient I have in mind loves all these things. What to choose? Orvis comes through again: a gift card will ensure that what the lucky person you're shopping for will get something that fits just right, and it is at exactly the right price point. I was greeted promptly upon entering the store, and the lovely salesperson took me right up to the counter and rang me up immediately. I was in and out in less than five minutes, but I am sure to be back to browse someday--there is so much good stuff in there, even for a homebody like me!

There have been several Orvis stores in the Twin Cities over the years. They initially were like L…read moreL Bean, Eddie Bauer, Abercrombie & Fitch and others and catered mostly to the hunting and fishing crowd. Most of their business by was mail order. Now I would guess most of their business is in upscale casual and outdoor clothing for men and women. Orvis still makes very nice fly fishing equipment - my first really nice fly rod was made by Orvis. This particular store has a convenient location with lots of parking. They have never been particularly busy when I have been in and the staff has always been friendly. Their products are high quality - no fast fashion cheaply made goods here. Orvis has a nice online catalogue so you can get an idea of what is available and they can order it if it is not in stock. I have a soft spot in my heart for Orvis and wish them well.

That speaks volumes on its own. Definitely will be back to this location as it is nice to be able to take your time without being pressured and also the inventory is by far better than at the Mall of America. Keep in mind..
