Ten Thousand Swedes Ran Through the Weeds…read more.. ...chased by one Norwegian! Tourists visiting Minnesoodah can expect to encounter a large population of tall, blond, strange-speaking people of Norwegian ancestry. To attempt communication with these locals, a visit to the Uffda Shop in Red Wing for translation guides such as "How to Speak Minnesotan" and "The Best of Ole and Lena" is always a smart plan. With educational guides in hand, tourists can next get a taste for local cuisine by checking out the Scandinavian food section of the store (mostly sweets). If you are visiting over the Christmas season, you may be lucky enough to enjoy a free sample of a Scandinavian dessert recipes, made in-store, with a free recipe card to boot. Other gift items include Polar Mitts hats, mittens, and scarves, crystal and glass, Christmas collectibles, towels and linens, and dinnerware. If you are a local, you are likely headed to the store for Christmas items such as troll statues, woolen Dale of Norway sweaters, or high-quality, krumkake and Bethany Housewares lefse equipment. Both tourists and locals alike will enjoy learning interesting facts about store items and Scandinavian culture from the friendly and knowledgeable store associates. They are also always happy to gift-wrap your purchase in the Scandinavian wrapping paper of your choice! Be forewarned that you may find yourself using the word "uffda" when shopping here as prices can be a bit "spendy".

This is a "rent a booth" type store but the sections were cohesive. They had big mirrors for sale, small wood sayings for the house, neutral home decor. For clothing, they had women's and a bit of men's clothing including jeans and lots of (too neutral for me) sweaters and shirts and a bit of jewelry. Employee was friendly, she rented one of the booths.

We enjoyed getting to speak with the owner and hear about their other locations as well as the meaning behind their name. I love that each letter represents a family member. We look forward to visiting the two other locations when we return in the spring.

Vintage, classic looks with artistic flair and the comfort of your old warm gloves.

Unique, upscale, whimsical, day or evening looks, but the feel of a happy housecoat.

Called to bring it in and again they did not get back to me, even when I told them to call me with results of the testing. They didn't. I called them three days later and they said they could not do the testing needed. When picked up the car, three lights were now on. Took to a dealership and they said Berghammer caused the problems when they took out the battery. This happened the beginning of January. I have emailed a number of times with no response. Their error cost me another $361 on top of the $1000 I spent there. Will never recommend this company!!

I've never really thought about owning a pair of Red Wings before... but after stepping into this store? I want a few pairs now! The space itself is impressive.... cool layout, great selection, and it just has that classic, quality vibe. We were helped by Elliott, and he was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all our questions without ever rushing us. You can tell he really knows his stuff and cares about helping customers find the right fit. The highlight? Elliott tipped us off about the factory outlet downstairs--hello, deals! Definitely a hidden gem and absolutely worth checking out if you're looking to snag a pair for less, or just browsing. This store is definitely a must-visit when you're in Red Wing.... You have to check out the GIANT boot for yourself.
