They have an enormous selection of cooking utensils and tools. Anything from Cuisinart to La Creuset cook ware. They have lots of different instruments for completing whatever sorts of ideas you have in the kitchen. One of the sales people was very nice to us and let us try some of the black garlic tamari vinegar. I unfortunately don't have a lot of space on my train trip, but I will be looking up their website when I get home.

It seems to be within a month. There are some pretty unique choices. Some are priced really well & others are pretty high. As expected, I left with a bunch of random things that I really didn't need, including 2 pair of Foster Grant readers, with cases for under $5. If nothing else, it's worth going through to see what weird things you find.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. Went to Arnie's in Minot on June 30th for a tire service. I…read morecalled them on the phone to see when they were available to change the tire and let them know it was for a bike. When I gave them the tire dimensions over the phone, they said the tire was in stock and that they'd be able to get me out the door the same day. When I arrived, they told me the tire was not in stock and that they would have to order it. They also said they wouldn't be accepting new maintenance jobs for another three weeks. I agreed to pay for the tire and wait for it to arrive. I paid with my card and saw that the transaction went through, confirmed by the notification on my phone. The next week, on July 1st, my tire showed up. They called me, and I asked when they would be able to mount it. They told me probably the next day and said I could bring my bike in around 2 p.m. I showed up the next day, July 2nd, and was told they would have it finished after the 4th of July weekend. I received another call on the 3rd asking if the person working on it could finish it after hours so I could have it that night. I said sure, without thinking much about it, and that same night my bike was done. I received a call around 10 p.m. saying my bike was ready. When I arrived to pick it up, Cody told me I could just Cash App him the maintenance cost of $160, and since I had already paid for the tire, I'd be good to go. Fast-forward to July 25th -- I thought Arnie's had treated me so fairly that I went back to shop for a new helmet. I bought an AGV and paid for it with my card again, $302, and like before, the transaction notification popped up on my phone as posted. Fast-forward to today, November 11th -- I have an overdrawn account of $536.89 from Arnie's. Navy Federal said they sent the transaction and that it had been refunded both times by Arnie's. They explained that the bank didn't refund my account -- the merchant did -- and that nearly six months later, Arnie's requested the charge to post. Navy Fed said they can't do anything because merchants have up to 120 days to request funds from a pending transaction. I've heard this has happened to multiple people and that Arnie's never answers when asked why they do this. It has financially hurt me that they're requesting money after almost six months of waiting. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM USING YOUR CARD. They overcharge, and the charge may not post until months later.

Minot's greatest shooting range, gun shop, and training facility!…read more I shot a gun for the first time yesterday, and Spartan Firearms made it so enjoyable!! I'll admit...I was pretty nervous at first. But thanks to my dad and a really nice employee, I learned the proper way to hold load and hold a gun, and I started hitting the target! The shooting range is high-tech. There are fancy screens that control how far away your target is and allow you to pull it in closer to see your bullet holes and change the target paper. Also, there are apparently some super fancy air ventilation systems that filter the gun powder out of the air. It's a really nice range! We also spent some time in the shop area and were helped by awesome employees. The Spartan Firearms Facility and the people inside are super nice. Go give them your business!
