I rememeber my grandfather taking me totheir old store as a child, such good memories. Very friendly and knowledgable service staff, good prices and just a great way to spend some time geeking out on projects, etc. One great thing I found in the bird (chicks, ducks, etc.) department is a sign that read "Bird's are cute, but are living things and require the correct care, please use discretion and responsibility in buying birds" That says a LOT in my book. I gotta love a place I can get a new wardrobe, a toilet and beef jerky!

We went in to exchange it and they could have not been more accommodating. She did not have the receipt and had removed the tags. They knew it was their product and were happy to make the swap for a larger size. As she made the swap, I browsed through the store with my other cousin. Oh my, the variety of merchandise was mind blowing. They had everything you'd need for a camping trip. They even sell camping packages for the boundary waters and when you check-in on Yelp they offer a 15% off coupon. If you're a fisher, they also offer live bait to help you catch that big fish. That way your "big fish" story will be truth instead of a made up one. My other cousin who was traveling with us, caught so much fish during our trip, that when we left Ely, we had to stop at Spirit to buy dry ice. When in Ely, I highly recommend that you shop, Spirit.
