I've been here before to take my little cousin on the ferris wheel a year or so ago. They have so…read moremuch sportswear and stuff to check out. I was looking online to see if they carry converse, as I was looking for a pair of regular black chucks. When I entered the store there were tons of staff all over which is nice to see these days. I browsed the men's section first since the shoes are pretty much the same, I couldn't find them at first so I went across the store over to the women's and couldn't find converse in women's either. I did notice the women's shoes wasn't as busy as the men's. I browsed around a bit (no one greeted me or anything in men's or women's). I did finally find them under a table display and they only had platforms for women's so I went back over to men's to take another look. I did find them and waited for a salesman to assist me. A man walked up (after me) and the shoe he wanted was next to stock room so he was helped right away. I waited and asked for help.. I was told by a rep that he had to go check on some other customers, I kept waiting and being ignored to the point I witnessed reps asking people still looking around if they needed help and finally someone came up to help me, I asked for a 7 (as I'm a 8 1/2, 9 in women's), he came back and told me the smallest size they have is an 8 which is too big. He asked who I was shopping for, I said myself and he asked me what size I wear and I said about a 9 in women's and he said "well this is men's" as if I was blind. Just didn't like the vibes all around.

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.

I have practically lived in my pants since the pandemic and felt it was time for some new pairs. Even though somewhat frayed in the cuffs mine still have lots of life left. There is a large variety of styles which can be confusing (at least for me) so it is nice to have brick and mortar store to actually look at the products and try them on. This store is well stocked and the staff were helpful in pointing me in right direction to find what I was looking for. I ended up buying four pairs of pants. The store is located in a shopping center at the North West corner of the intersection of 494 and Lyndale Avenue South. Parking is abundant.

I came in for a running headlight. There were tons of options as headlights double for hiking, camping, etc. I was able to get a light and be on my way. However, it was a bit overwhelming with so much depth in every area, but "REI" depth - lots of base layers, rows of Gore-Tex jackets, etc. - not a lot of variety in brands and items - seemed a bit stale. I shop a lot at Scheels and Cabela's and they merchandise very well with lots of brands across different price points. It was also hard to find someone that worked there to help me even though the store was empty, but the checkout people were nice.

He's got a big beard and a big personality and isn't a salesman. He'll tell you exactly what you need if you want help--sometimes recommending the lower priced items over higher priced items because he's a genuine dude out to make fly anglers vs. make a buck. I've bought countless bugs from him. A rod. A waist pack. I think a t-shirt at some point. I've drank his free beer at the occasional, random store parties he decides to throw on a whim. It's a beautiful store. He even sells American made jeans if you decide that on your way to the river, you not only need bugs but also some raw denim for whatever reason.
