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 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!!

Selection is always interesting! Fun to explore, and other shoppers are generally friendly.read more

I had an awful experience at the Goodwill in St. Louis Park. I tried to exchange two pairs of jeans…read morewith my receipt, but the cashier refused because they didn't have tags--even though I had done the same kind of exchange just the day before at this exact store with no issue. This same employee had also previously misinformed me about their payment system, saying swipes weren't accepted (they were). He was rude, inflexible, and dismissive. I'm on the autism spectrum (mild Asperger's) and spent over 90 minutes carefully picking out replacements. The emotional effort, combined with driving in from Minneapolis (because they have no fitting rooms), made this whole thing exhausting. Goodwill's inconsistent policies and poorly trained staff are making it harder for neurodivergent people to shop with dignity. Very disappointing from an organization that claims to support inclusion and community.

I did find a raised feeding dog bowl set new for $8.99, MTV board shorts for $4.99 and this gorgeous Party light cut glass vase which was sparkly. I didn't need but it was beautiful.

I I scored an awesome 50's leather clutch and some fun earrings . This review is really for the staff . Thank you for showing kindness to my father! He had asked to use the bathroom at one of the neighbor places , they told him no . This place was nice enough to let my dad use their bathroom . He just wasn't paying attention when they told him where it was . Thank you to the employee who showed kindness and walked him to where it was. Such a nice simple thing to do but it made me really happy to support a business that believes in kindness . Many thanks !

Like other Yelpers have mentioned, super friendly and helpful staff. We were looking for vintage glassware for our bar and they pointed us in the right direction.

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!

Goodwills can be a bit hit and miss, but this one is usually worth the trip…read more Like all Goodwills, this one can get really crowded (I've been unable to find parking during peak hours), so I recommend arriving early in the day. This location is one of the biggest I've seen in the area, and they're especially good for kitchen goods, housewares, and coats. It seems to me that most Goodwills have done away with dressing rooms, so if you're hoping to check for fit, you may be out of luck if you're not in your most slim-fitting outfit. There are some longer mirrors over on the wall near the clothing, though. Checkout was efficient, and the cashiers cheerful despite the hectic pre-Halloween crowds.

I find it an interesting place to wander around and wonder what some items are. There are barrels of stuff, shelves of things and all sorts of blinking lights, electronic parts, miscellaneous military surplus and mysterious things that I simply cannot identify. Quirky labels (some definitely tongue in cheek), and no shortage of humor. Offers for customers to weigh in on their own take of what somethings might be. Staff has always been helpful. Aisles overflowing with an ever changing selection. Plenty of free parking. Rock bottom prices and you might occasionally find just what you need. The Ax-Man exemplifies the classic aphorism that one person's trash is another's treasure.
