    Cool roll suitcase
    Youssef A.

    Busy place plenty of people in and out. Clean. Not huge in size. Has a lot of clean items. Employees were busy working and nice. Easy to access from the highway. Plenty of parking. Good visibility.

    "Good"will??? Seriously? More like Greedwill!! The blatant overpricing directive, no doubt from some profit driven robber baron "manager", regional or otherwise... non-profit??? Wrong!!! It's become disgusting!!! For example, this USED and open can of tennis balls, which cost roughly $3 anywhere. One small example, though if at Goodwill, the change in the last year or so... is obvious... No justification, none...

If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

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.

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.

The store is clean, organized, and with employees who are constantly tidying up and restocking. Shelves were well stocked while I was there, but only 1 thing caught my eye as a MUST HAVE. In the Home section, I especially liked the mixed bags of items on the wall. For a low price you get a variety of pre-selected like items all bagged up. Each bag is different; there were arts and crafts bags, home decor bags, toy bags, kitchenware, and more. When it comes to pricing... I think value is subjective. One person may think a $8.99 vase is too much, the other may think it's a steal. You have to see and decide for yourself. Keep in mind inventory will vary, depending on when you go. However, during this visit there was a good amount of purses, curtains, accent pillows, throws, and books. More than Savers- Columbia Heights and Woodbury which I've visited before. One thing I didn't notice were fitting rooms (just like Savers). However, there were public bathrooms. If you're looking to check out a few thrift stores while you're on the road, Arc Value Village, and Legacy are not too far.

    Formal Complaint Regarding Treatment by Donation Manager on August 2, 2026…read more On August 2, 2026, at approximately 3:30 p.m., I came to Unique to donate three bicycles and garden fencing. I have been a customer and donor at Unique for many years and have donated similar items, including fencing, in the past. When I arrived at the donation area, the manager on duty informed me that Unique could not accept the garden fencing. I explained that I had donated fencing previously, but I understood and did not argue with his decision. I then turned toward my vehicle to remove the fencing from my trunk so that I could access the bicycles. As I was doing this, the manager said to me, "I told you we can't take that!" I explained that I had heard and understood him and that I was simply removing the fencing from my vehicle so that I could get to the bicycles. At that point, I asked him not to speak to me anymore because I felt that his tone and manner toward me were rude and were making me uncomfortable. Despite my repeated requests that he leave me alone, he continued engaging with me. I repeatedly told him to stop speaking to me and leave me alone. Instead of respecting that request, he took out his phone and began recording me, stating that I was making him uncomfortable at work. This escalated the situation significantly. I was attempting to disengage from the interaction, yet he continued to engage with me and record me after I had repeatedly asked him to stop. I began raising my voice and yelling because I felt unsafe and wanted to draw attention to what was happening. This is particularly concerning to me because this was the third interaction I have had with this same employee that has made me feel uncomfortable. I have been shopping at and donating to Unique for many years, and I have never experienced this type of treatment from any other employee. I believe that race may have played a role in the way I was treated. I recognize that I cannot definitively know his motivation, but the repeated nature of my negative interactions with this particular employee has caused me serious concern. I do not make this allegation lightly. During the interaction, I asked to speak with his manager. He told me that he was the manager. I then asked for his name, but he refused to provide it. He subsequently threatened to call the police because I was yelling. I told him to do so, as I was not threatening him or attempting to cause harm; I was trying to get the situation to stop after repeatedly asking him to leave me alone. After I removed the bicycles from my vehicle, I parked and entered the store because I wanted to speak with another manager and formally report what had occurred. As I was preparing to speak with management, the same employee approached me again and stated that I was "causing a scene" and accused me of calling him racist. I acknowledge that I did call him racist during the interaction because, at that point, I was extremely upset and felt that I was being treated unfairly. I was eventually told that I could call the store at 9:00 a.m. to file a complaint with a manager named Gabby. I again requested the employee's name so that I could accurately identify the individual involved. I was told to simply refer to him as the "manager on duty of donations," by another manager. After doing some research I learned his name is Joshua P. Rapke. I am extremely upset by this experience. I am not someone who routinely files complaints. In situations where I have had poor customer service experiences in the past, I have generally chosen to simply stop patronizing the business. However, this interaction was different. I left feeling disrespected, uncomfortable, and genuinely unsafe, particularly because I repeatedly attempted to disengage from the interaction and my requests were not respected. I am asking Unique to take this complaint seriously and investigate this incident, including reviewing any available security footage and determining whether the employee's actions and conduct were consistent with Unique's expectations for managers and employees interacting with customers and donors. I would also like this complaint documented formally and would appreciate a response regarding the outcome of the investigation and what steps will be taken to address this situation. I have been a longtime customer and donor, which makes this experience especially disappointing. I expect to be able to donate and shop at Unique without being subjected to confrontational, intimidating, or disrespectful treatment. Outside of this particular employee, I love Unique. Just tired of the treatment I get from this one man. Avoid this man at all cost! Manager Gabby followed up with me and apologized and let me know the incident is being handled internally. I appreciated the call.

Well I'd say this is a pretty prime example of it! I've been to plenty of Plato's Closets and this one definitely takes the cake for higher end, bougie, brand name items. In the store you can expect entire sections on: - Free People - Hunter boots - Uggs - Love Your Melon - Victoria's Secret And a ton of athletic wear like Lululemon, Nike, etc. I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for these brands! I would come back to buy but not sell because I don't wear a lot of the brand names they're looking for. I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 1 or 2 because I do think their selection is very well curated with these bigger brands. However without this positive, I would opt for 1 or 2 stars. I came in with the intention to sell but once I walked into the store and say the daunting wall of Uggs and Free People shrine I pretty much knew they weren't going to take anything. When I arrived I don't think I was even greeted by the woman or man behind the counter. The woman just started going through my bags and asked me if I could sign in. I just peaked around the store a little but wasn't planning to buy. Once I was done walking around for maybe 5 minutes, I went to the counter because I assumed they were done. There was no one at the counter but there was no indication as to whether they were ready for me and my bags weren't insight... Finally the man gave me my bags and let me know that they were passing on everything because of slight wear and styles that don't do well for them. Overall this Plato's does a lot better than others in stocking brand names but also does a pretty horrible job at customer service. I would endure rude employees to come back for brands if I had to but I don't think it'd be too enjoyable of an experience!

You can really see all the items and everywhere you turn, there's something new. My mom and I like to frequent this shop to see what's new, and I think we'll come even more now that there's a new location! Be sure to follow the owners Instagram (@retrowanderlust) to keep up with any sales she has or if she has changes to her schedule. I believe she's planning on doing a bit of e-commerce, so that will be fun to see as well! We've bought some dresser drawers from RW before, and today my mom picked up a beautiful large blue tablecloth for only $28. She also bought a concrete candle for $14. I'd say pieces are priced fairly -- sturdy and unique antiques are an investment! That said, I think there's something in this store for any budget, there's a wide range of pricing. I definitely recommend going to Retro Wanderlust, and now, even better -- it's in a fun part of St Louis Park. Make a fun day of it or just go to browse the fun collection and go home. I'll be back.
