Worth the stop - 4 stars…read more Pine Creek is an antique store right on the main drag in the old town part of North Branch. It's a lot bigger than it looks like on the outside. The whole thing is shaped like a giant "L" and it actually has 2 separate entrances. This is a traditional mall type antique store with multiple vendors. The store also has quite a few "house" items that are owned by the store. The reason I know this is because the item I picked wasn't marked and they happened to mention that it's a house piece when they were trying to figure out the price. The shop is well organized, clean, and displayed nicely. The prices all seem super reasonable. And the staff members are nice people. I had a pleasant chat with the owners about the long history of the building...very interesting. One of the main things I like about this place is it actually has antiques! There are very few new items. By far, nearly everything is what I'd consider antique or vintage. One notable exception is a vendor that seems to be preoccupied with Christmas items, most of which looked like modern products. Not my thing but I suppose there are people that dig this. Thumbs up! -Maxx

I would definitely go back to check out that booth often as I felt like it had a lot to offer. The cashiers were really nice and helpful too.

I'm just going to come out and say it - this antique store is lame…read more I was SO disappointed after wasting my time walking through the entire store, every nook & cranny, first floor and basement. This former bank building is full of modern crap and - maybe - some things I might consider "vintage". It's little more than a big garage sale...a garage sale where I wouldn't buy anything! I managed to find only a handful of items that I'd consider antiques. For example, how many 1990s glass tumblers do I need to look at? And why would I want to spend money on a dance trophy from 1999? To make things worse, the two staff members at the front desk were busy looking at videos on their laptops. They said nothing, never looked up, and were completely devoid of any customer service skills whatsoever. Don't bother opening the door. Keep walking and check out one of the other shops on Main Street. -Daddy Maxx Retro

This thrift store made a weekend visit in late 2019 more special…read more Not familiar with thrifting, I was eager to show my partner the ropes and the joy of thrift store shopping. It just so happens that on the day we visited, the store had a small setup of free hot apple cider and little sandwich cookies available for shoppers. This gave us a special glimpse of Minnesota hospitality and set things off on a great foot on a very chilly day! We looked through Christmas decorations and old games and I was thankful to find an excellent prank hallmark ornament for my sister and a nostalgic hallmark ornament for myself--a little mouse atop a spool of thread, sewing popcorn kernels for a Christmas garland. We looked at a variety of scarves and coats and then found a cute, new/barely-used, button-up shirt with little mustaches for my partner. All of this--delicious hot cider, Christmas and childhood nostalgia, easily transported "souvenirs" from our visit to Minnesota, and a crisp new shirt for my partner--all for less than $10 made for a pretty great first-time thrifting experience and a memorable stop on the trip for me!

Inside and across the front porch they have plenty of gift items including seasonal decor, some clothing, bird feeding and pet supplies, kitchen items, food, candy and much more. In the bird feeding collection they have many types of feeders, supplies and seeds. We have never had such spoiled birds especially with the Wayne's seed mix - they get into that like nothing else we have ever tried! Stop in and meet the friendly staff, I think it might become a regular drive and stop for you too.

The minute I take the bag out and open it up, all four dogs are sitting around me waiting for their treat! We will be back again for more bird seed and dog bones!

The employees are welcoming and nice. There's always an employee there that takes time to stop and dance with my three year old and to talk to her. It's nice... They're not a big store but they have a variety of things. I did some digging. Most of their profit goes right back into the community and funds local food shelves. They will work with you if there's something you need and can't afford. The staff is knowledgeable of programs that offer aid to low income, disabled, or single parents. If they have extra donations it goes to homeless shelters and half way houses. They're take almost all donations. They even take blankets that have stains or are worn out for animal shelters. Now, the downside. It's a small cramped store. I wish they had more wiggle room. Everything is dirty. They don't have the funding or enough volunteers to prewash clothing but will wipe down certain objects like knick nacks or toys. Because they have limited space you may not find a ton of baby clothing or toddler clothing. They open at 10am. Which is a little strange. Overall a little dust is worth an entire library at very cheap for my daughter. Plus, I know it goes right down the hall into the local food shelter to help those that need it.
