This is a cornerstone of Main Street Nisswa - I've always loved visiting this shop when my family…read morehas gone up to Brainerd to look through their stacks and their curated collections on the end caps, including local lore and Minnesota authors. I appreciate that they also have a healthy selection of games and puzzles, and puzzle books for spending time up north. Last time we visited, it was great to see them host a local author's book signing, too. I highly recommend that you stop here if you're in the area, whether you're looking for something for yourself or for gifting ideas for friends and family!

This new store in downtown Nisswa is a great addition to the shopping scene. It bridges the gap…read morebetween children's stores and "old lady" stores, as far as clothing goes! They have cute clothes for women and it's affordable. So guys, don't worry about your wife as this store...well maybe you should worry because they come back time and again! They have a little guys stuff, some jeans and shirts but it's mostly geared towards women. Heck, most stores are geared towards women. They could use a few more men's items, such as accessories (belts, cufflinks etc.). Although they don't have a ton of men's stuff, they have more than any other store (besides the sporting goods store) in Nisswa. I will go back to check out the new stuff every time I'm in Nisswa.

Plus, the store is adorable with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and hand-painted smokey purple armoires holding all of the accessories. This is the shop that I go into every time I come to Nisswa, not only for the great goods, but for the awesome store owner. She is one of the most friendly and personable shop owners I have ever met. After going into the store one time, I felt like she was my friend!

I bought a 1958 Rambler car door for TEN BUCKS!! Their prices are VERY reasonable, 35% cheaper than Crosby, MN. Get to know the three ladies that work there. Tell them CAR DOOR DAVE sent you!!

While I have been here multiple times and was super excited to find a used bookstore nearby. I…read morerecently went in looking for a particular book. I opened my phone pulling the book up on a webpage to make sure I got the name of the author correct. The link I pulled up was Amazon. It was just the first thing to pop up and I was literally there to find a used copy of this book. I wanted to use the bookstore instead of using a resource available to me that I don't love using. Instead of being polite and helping me. The two people working berated me for "helping buy a rich guy a new yacht" and "I should just use ChatGPT to tell me the book" if I was willing to shop on Amazon. Not once did I mention ordering it off Amazon. I simply pulled the link up for the book info. My friend and I tried to leave and were told to use other sites. Which I can appreciate, but not after the rude attitude over something such as a LINK on my phone. When I finally managed to inch my way to the exit. They had the audacity to tell me I should check out their other sections of the store next time I'm in. One of them seemed to be back peddling because they realized they were making us uncomfortable, but it didn't work. Needless to say. I won't be returning to this store and found the book I was looking for elsewhere. A disappointing visit that left me very uncomfortable and attacked. Supporting local businesses is wonderful and I love to do it. But not at the expense of my comfort and this trip was uncomfortable to say the very least.

I have to say, I truly enjoyed my time in this store. SO MUCH to see, so much to enjoy and the…read morestaff member who was working was EXTREMELY pleasant and fun to chat with. My stop in here was a quick in and out, trying to find a couple of books I needed for my expanding collection. I did not see them but found a ton of other bargain books I just had to have. Prior to checking out we struck up a conversation with the lady working (owner?) and talked books, retail work, the city and location and I really found her to be such a nice and genuine person who seemed to really care about her customers. The store is nearly a full 3 hours from me but I often think about trying to find other places to go in town to justify returning to browse her store more.

But if you can look/smell past that, this overloaded store, with treasures upon treasures is a delight. She most likely has what you're looking for and then some.

The owner is there every day and will order something if it is not in stock. She's in a tough downtown spot with all the construction, and I really want her to make it.
