I say brand name loosely because you'll find Coach, Sperry, Michael Kors, Dyson but you'll likely come across Mossimo or some Target Brand most often. All of the stuff there is new (not used or gently used) but they may be in opened boxes or not in season. They have very reasonable prices (I got a brand new pair of sperry shoes for $10) and my sister got her prom dress there for $20 and it was orginally $300+. They also have a furniture section that offers a really great selection on rugs, couches, chairs, etc. I got my sectional there for $200 and it was brand new with a modern design. I'd say if you are willing to spend a little extra time searching the racks and shelves, it will be worth your trip to this store. Only drawback is the intense Chinese food smell that lingers over from the Great Moon Buffet next door. It smells delicious when you first walk in, but after a while, can make you feel a little queasy. Sidenote: If you go here on your birthday, they give you 20% an item purchase - this includes furniture and electronics!

You never know what they will have because the inventory changes daily. You will find everything from clothes to toys to house hold furniture. The customer service is very friendly. One complaint a lot of people have is the time it takes to check out. Sometimes you can wait for almost 45 mins to get through the line. That is not the fault of people who work there. They do a fast job with ringing everything up and bagging it. People are buying cart fulls of items which takes time. I always like to shop here when I'm in the area so you should give it a try also

This is the best grocery store in the cities -- by far…read more We moved from California. Grocery Outlet is a large chain in California that is similar to Mike's -- they're a discount opportunistic grocery that sells items close to expiration/are being discontinued. When we moved back to Minnesota, we were very sad to not have Grocery Outlet anymore. But then, we found Mike's. Mike's is amazing. I'd argue it's even better than Grocery Outlet, and miles above any average grocery store in the cities. The primary draw to Mike's is the pricing -- things are very cheap compared to other grocers. This is possible because they don't have a broad selection and stock items that are close to expiration or being discontinued. It's not uncommon to find things that didn't sell at other stores here. The downside is that they rarely have consistent stock. However, if you have an open mind, you won't be disappointed. There are snacks, frozen items, household goods and even clothes that are very cheap. Lastly, the staff are all very kind and do their best to help. Go here!!!!

I go once a week if I can to see what they have, stuff is usually always changing but on occassion you can find the same thing twice. Staff is fine, some are great and some you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley (I've heard some yelling from the back room at times). They've added Target bins in the back with $3 new items (clothes, toiletries, accessories and housewares sometimes). Truly magical.

There's a good variety of used and new items, along with various categories of goods.... big and small. Pricing varies as well, but you can bet your paying less than retail price. Some of the basics: sofas, artwork, rugs, paint, bedframes, lightbulbs, patio furniture, Some of the interesting: church pew, chandeliers, fancy stoves, building material (flooring, fixtures, cabinets) Some of the little things: command strips, paper towel holder, bath mat, frames There's so much, and you never know what you'll find during your visit so check it out. I will say, staff didn't seem warm and friendly (ie a smile, or offer to help), but at the same no one was directly rude. I gather if you ask for help, they'd assist. I noticed by the bed frames, a sign that said they have tools to disassemble, but you had to do it yourself, which is still helpful since some places wouldn't even offer that.

Make sure when you make a purchase you check your bags before leaving because they do have someone…read moreat the register that is very slick and sneaky and she takes things and acts like she's putting them in your bag and she doesn't I bought four pair of shoes and four pair of shoes was on my receipt. I got home and I didn't check my things right away. The next day when I checked I only had three pair of shoes with 3 boxes. I called. And spoke to someone that claimed to be a manager they said they would investigate the situation. They claimed to have check cameras, and they claimed that the shoes were in the bag, but the shoes never made it home with me. I'm a professional medical provider I have two twin boys, a husband there is no other female in the house and I know what I saw and how this person was acting at the register. Just make sure you check your items before leaving this store! Especially when you have someone that's bagging your stuff on the ground versus on the countertop!

Visiting Nordstrom's Racks sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. You never know if you're going to…read morefind that designer bag or shoes for 80% off or if all you're going to find is the Nordstrom rack brand items. That's what makes it fun! The Rack in Maple Grove is decent sized and well laid out. They tend to have a bit of a smaller selection of the higher end designers that you can find at the Mall of America Nordstrom rack but still a decent variety. They carry women's, men's, children's, shoes, accessories and home goods. Parking is plentiful but the traffic flow is a little tricky directing you right into the first row. That row gets 100% of incoming traffic so I'd recommend parking one or two over. Customer service here is always good. While you are kind of on your own to hunt the racks (if you want a personalized shopping experience head to the actual Nordstrom's) the employees always seem to be in a good mood and helpful when checking out. Dressing rooms are always clean and they have plenty of spaces to try on items. It helps when people return unwanted items to the return racks so do your part and don't leave them in the room. Overall I think visiting this location is fun and I rarely leave empty handed!
