Was on Lyndale, doing some window shopping and came across this resale shop. Is resale a good…read moredescription? Actually more like a higher quality Goodwill with more serious inventory. Found a few items that were good value. Love the idea of a shop like this that finds good homes for decent household items. Like it says "Keeping Stuff Out Of The Landfill Since 1979"

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.

I had a stylist appointment with Sarah. She was AMAZING!! She was so helpful, and kind. This was…read more(amazingly enough!) a free service! I got so many clothes ideas, recommendations and feedback. I absolutely loved everything about the day! At the end of the day, I got at least 10 new outfits and shoes for a fraction price of what I would have paid for retail! I would highly, highly recommend this incredible service and store! Run, do not walk to book an appointment with one of the stylists at Arc, you will not regret it!!

You'll also find racks filled with home decor, kitchen items, and household goods (ie; alarm clocks, mirrors, irons). They also have books, footwear, a limited amount of furniture, and random items (crutches, luggage). This is probably my 3rd/4th visit and so far, all has been fine.

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!
