Crazy 8 replaced the Gap Kids in Maplewood Mall and I visited on the recommendation of a friend. I…read morewas pleasantly surprised! I knew they had low prices but I expected cheaply made clothing to go with them and that's not the case. The day I went they were having a 25% off sale on the whole store, which included clearance items. I bought a skirt, shorts and 2 tops for my daughter and paid around $5/item, which is great. I always shop a season ahead so I was pleased to find a decent selection for next summer. They're kind of a lower priced Gymboree where everything matches if you want to go that route for your kid. I don't, thought the skirt I got was very cute. I find that some of the pricing is great, and some of it is odd. Pajamas are $18/set which I think is ridiculous, but t-shirts are in the $5-8 range which is perfectly acceptable, especially with the discounts.

When I asked the staff why the posted prices weren't being honored, they were extremely rude and dismissive. It's frustrating and misleading to only find out the "real" price once you get to the checkout. Overall, a very poor experience. I will not be returning

The decline of shopping malls in general along with world news such as Claire's going bankrupt (as of August 2025 this location has 75% off for closing reasons), the downfall of the economy and inflation have all contributed to the current makeup here. I believe the Maplewood Mall is making space for entrepreneurs to take over varying shops as I did spot a nice handful. Contrary, the mall's buzz is dead and not as lively as I remember. Some things I do appreciate presently are the preservation of the carousel in the main space (it's gorgeous), Cinnabon is going strong and roughly 2-4 large spaces for kids to play. I am all about indoor spaces considering MN is a tough state to live in during the winter. Additionally, I adore the pockets of culture here from Pan Asian Center to smaller shops selling handmade goodies and the neat concept of the cotton candy cloud bar (how fun!). Overall, coming here to get steps in or explore won't leave you with stealing all your money. I'm glad the space is still getting used. Enjoy!!

A wonderfully weird and eclectic selection of shops to browse for a mall. Through thorough analysis…read moreof the cities though this place is by far the best when it comes to searching for blind boxes including the all famous Labubu and even some really fun Lafufus. A lot of the cart booths scattered throughout the mall sell replicas but they can be quite fun for designs and honestly a great place for any one who doesn't know the difference (for parents who are shopping for kids). For the authentic stuff there's the pan Asia center which has a whole section to pick from close to the mall entrance as well as a vendor at one of the repurposed jewelry cases who will let you swap. Another shop for authentics would be at Little Diva Hidden treasure which I've noticed, at least the last time I visited, has cheaper options. Besides this the mall also has a bargain bin store, a make your own teddy bear store (not that different from build a bear), a K-pop store, and several others. In the center atrium there are also usually some bounce houses that I always see kids enjoying. I think the point in coming here is to not expect a typical mall experience. If you do, you'll be met with disappointment. This mall has a place and is one to come to if you're looking for unique items you can't find easily elsewhere.

I was parked fairly close to Kohl's at Maplewood Mall. After doing some major damage at FYE, I…read moredecided to call my shopping excursion a day and headed to my car. I cut through Kohl's to get there. It may have been the first time that I have visited a Kohl's and didn't buy a thing. I probably shopped so such at various Kohl's stores throughout the Twin Cities on this vacation that I was good by the time I hit this store. I like when Kohl's is attached to a mall. You can enter and exit the store without going through the mall. This store does not have a built-in Sephora. However, it does have a number of strengths. I like the clearance section for women's clothing. It is next to the Croft & Barrow clothing. The clearance section has some decent deals if you enjoy finding gems and heavily reduced prices. I am such a fan of small kitchen appliances. I spent quite some time looking at the PowerXL stuffed wafflizer. You can stuff waffles with whatever fillings you'd like. It looked insane, but it intrigued me. The Hallmark section is a staple at all Kohl's stores. This one is no different. Valentine's Day merchandise was out in early January, featuring Snoopy. I didn't really need another puffy coat or jacket. This store had long, light puffy coats that looked nice. It would have been cool if each one had a two-way zipper on it. I feel that my expectations were set way too high here. Kohl's tends to have sales all the time. The deals are great, including the ones at this store when I was there. Curbside pickup is also available. You head over to customer service to fetch your order. It's a clean store. I enjoyed browsing around. Whenever I'm back in Maplewood, I'd drop by this store again and perhaps buy something before I hit FYE! (37)

Yesterday12/22/25 So, we go to the one in Rosedale Mall in…read moreMinnesota, but we happen to stop at the one in Maplewood Mall. My husband and I were shopping for grand kids and 1 great grandbaby. The kids wanted shoes and watches so really there were a few customers about 20 or 25. Anyways we made to the shoe department, and we started with the girls and of course my husband he needed help anyways we got all the girl's shoes and I mention to my husband we need a buggy so I found one took me a few minutes when I turned around and I see this guy starry at me did not think nothing of it. So, I went where my husband was put all the boxes of shoes in buggy and we started with the boy's shoes all of sudden I see the same guy again I told my husband we are being watched by this fake security guy he goes yea I know. So pretty much mush we were being followed. This guy was like a leash So, we were done in this department, and we took the elevator down to go get the great grand baby clothes and watches for the kids then my husband tells me there's another fake security guy on your left I said what the effing shit it this. This was the most uncontrollable experience that we ever had we are in our 60s what the hell we don't have to steal we have jobs. These two idiots they were like LEASHES. At one point i was going to say something but I would be wasting my time. Then we go to cash out and there's no cashiers in front or the back we had to go to the Sephora makeup area oh my goodness, :( Let me give you a tip on your security have them dress neat clothes and not walk like clowns. As far as your cashers well you need to hire more. Will I come here again NO. :( I will be at the Rosedale Mall No Stars

When I went back to return them, I didn't have the original shoe box with me, and I was told that they could not accept the return without it.

It does not clearly state anywhere that the original shoe box is required for a return. The manager and staff were not helpful and simply told me there was nothing they could do.

Minnesota has a grand total of two FYE stores. One is in Duluth. The other is this store at Maplewood Mall. The following day, I drove up the Maplewood Mall. It was a perfect day to hibernate in a warm mall. It was -22°C with a windchill of -32°C. I was up for exercising my arms, legs, and credit card in this store. FYE is located on the first floor, in centre court by the carousel. There was a sale going on. I walked in. In the past, I hit FYE for used and new CDs. Naturally, the store has changed with the times. I like the change. I was in awe of the wall full of snacks and candy. OMG! I actually audibly said that looking at various mochi flavours, Pocky, and Garbage Pail Kids cereal. One word: heaven! I then lost it in front of the Hello Kitty and Pusheen section. A Hello Kitty backpack with food and beverages on it? Yes, please! Pusheen drinks and apparel? I want all of it! Luckily, there was a sale going on. If you bought one clothing item, you got the second one of equal or lesser value for 50% its regular price. I didn't own any Pusheen or Hello Kitty clothing until I got a t-shirt with both characters on it and a long-sleeved shirt with Pusheen that day. The music section is much smaller at FYE these days. Seeing Depeche Mode on vinyl made my day. There were also Funko Pop figures of Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys that made my day. There are also a bunch of plushies in this store. The Squishmallows tugged at my heart. If you are into Grogu (also known as Baby Yoda and The Child), you need to check out the merchandise here. I have never seen so many Grogu products, from a lava lamp, to a powerbank. I ended up getting a Grogu PopSocket. I had never seen one before. I also got a USB C cable that was sparkly and purple. It is rare to see that combination. It was on sale. Yay! I removed a star from my rating for how long it took someone to attend to the cashout area. I probably waited there for a good seven minutes until a male staff member came out of the back area to scan my items so I could pay for them. He was nice. I paid with a credit card. It was great. I got my goodies in a large bag. I thanked him and happily hauled both the bag and me out the door. My USB C cable works like a charm. I used it earlier today to charge my phone. It's perfect. I loved all my purchases here. If you see someone with a Pusheen shirt on, you know that it's me. It was nice visiting an FYE again. I'd definitely return to this store when I'm back in the city.

Visiting from Hawaii!…read more Located in Maplewood Mall. FYE was recommended to us by a young man at Thunderbolt Anime Shop. He told us "take the escalators downstairs. On your left you'll see a yellow store called something like Eye." So we went by those directions and found FYE which by the way is an acronym: For Your Entertainment. Thunderbolt didn't have any Sanrio Gudetama merchandise so we came here to FYE. Tada! They actually had Gudetama things! I bought almost everything Gudetama! Lol it was so reasonably priced that I couldn't help myself. That and there seems to be a Gudetama shortage in Minnesota. Besides Gudetama, this store has a variety of novelty items ranging from Anime to the television show series Friends. They have a nice collection of Funko Pops and magnets as well! Definitely worth checking out if you're a collector. The young man who helped us that day was very nice. I'm coming back if I'm ever in town again for sure.
