Wow! So much to look at! Spent a fun hour or so meandering through all the vintage finds. I wished…read moreI'd known about the bottom level, I could have spent another hour! Loved all the unique pieces, could have bought more than my bust of Apollo, but I had to pack whatever I could in my suitcase haha. The bus was a little pricey at $50 but I love it and there were plenty of staff around if you needed help finding anything I did ask if they had any marble chess boards, they did not thankfully for me. It probably would've been another hundred lol fun time searching around!

This is a really cool store. So many cool vintage items and craft (especially scrapbooking/junk…read morejournaling) things. It's like a giant yard sale. They have an outside area with giant letters from signs, garden items and such. The main rooms upstairs are all kinds of random pieces of art, photos and supplies, dolls and more and downstairs they have even more stuff to check out. Jam packed, can be a bit overwhelming. It was my first time going and didn't really know what to expect but I'll for sure be back to grab some things for my scrapbooks & other art projects. I will say it's a bit crowded & very warm, they did have fans in the basement which was nice.

Pretty store but a lot of over priced junk, and some items are mass produced…read more I don't think they even know what they are selling (but pass off as vintage items coming from Europe). I'll stick to my trusted sellers.

There was a sign that said, "fairly cool" inside which was enticing in this heat. The owner was kind of enough to throw out my unwanted ice cream cone and then directed us over to what we were looking for. Place is jammed packed with lots of old stuff for a trip down memory lane. Lots of old treasures, luggage, furniture, signage, window panes and more downstairs. Will go back when it's not so hot out to take a look around. Trying to maneuver around a packed place sweating was not a good time, but found what we were looking for which made the visit worthwhile! If the NKOTB watch is still there... who knows? The owner is very nice and very helpful.

I wish I could give a 3.5 rating, since overall it was a good experience…read more So here's the deal. - lack of large signage on the exterior, makes it easy to miss being it blends in with the other businesses along the strip. -upon entering you may be given a strip of SOLD stickers. 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.

Karen, the shop owner, has a big personality and is always fun to visit and have a chat with. She…read moreknows her stuff, has a skilled eye, and wants to help you find what you're looking for. Today I visited the new location that opened TODAY 3/3/22 (3006 Texas Ave S, St Louis Park) -- great luck!! There's plenty of parking and the space is laid out beautifully. 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. Thanks Karen!
