All the supplies you need from adhesive to grout can be loaded on easy carts You can check inventory levels on line for products you are interested in. We found AJ helpful by calling the only other location in Maple Grove for the amount of tile we needed. You can return full cases but not individual sheets of tile unless you bought them that way. The tiles range from basic shapes to glitzy! Beautiful wood, laminate and stone flooring as well; drove to Maple Grove and to our surprise our glass backsplash on a close out $37 per case(15) sheets Luscious glass tiles originally over $8.00 per sheet now a steal Three cases and we were out! Ample parking. Great staff. Designers for free but no installers. I would go back! The icing on the cake? Design manager Nick called me today when he saw we bought one sheet big that tile at Apple Valley to take to Maple Grove who had more stock. I mean who first that now days? Following up to see if we needed design help. We will not as we are self installers but 10 stars for Nick making sure he touched base!

Purchased WATERPROOF laminate flooring for the family room. Installed it and our pet had an…read moreaccident on the floor. It wasn't noticed right away so the cleanup didn't happen for about an hour. The next day, when dusting the floor, we noticed it was bubbling at the seam between boards. We took pictures and brought them to the store in Apple Valley, MN and they referred us to the Florida manufacturer. Our complaint was sub contracted to a service that does that sort of thing. Long story short - they denied any responsibility. We will have to go to small claims court to pursue this. In the meantime we are out 1250.00 and have to replace the flooring with a totally vinyl flooring we purchased from Home Depot. Which is what we should have done from the start. I wouldn't buy another thing from Floor & Decor. They are sadly not customer orientated.

Updated review: Came back a second time with a friend and I'm honestly much more impressed. My…read morefirst visit didn't totally win me over, but this time the coffee was noticeably better and the overall experience felt more worth it. The space still has a slightly weird food hall vibe (not super cozy coffee shop energy), but the drinks are hand crafted. They use local beans, have handmade syrups, and offer a fun variety of specialty drinks that feel thoughtful and well made. One of my favorite details: the plants throughout the shop have names and many are for sale, which is such a fun, quirky touch and makes the space feel more intentional and unique. Overall, I'm glad I gave it another shot, much better experience the second time and definitely a cool local spot with personality.

Rough first impression for sure. This is one identity within a building called "Resolve Food Hall",…read morewhich is the main thing you'll notice as you approach the building. I was not sure I was even in the right place at first. Straight ahead as you enter is the coffee shop part of this place, and there is a touchscreen ordering panel but also a cashier. However, we came at 11am on a Saturday and wanted some of the brunch options. We were directed to a table in another part of the facility, given the full Curiouser menu, and abandoned for 30 minutes. No one talked to us again so we left and got brunch at another nearby establishment. I still hadn't had any coffee later that afternoon so I stopped by to try an easier scenario, and I had an excellent iced drink called Absolutely Alice. Perfect sweetness level for me; I like it sweet while still being able to get coffee flavor out of it. So I would definitely return for a coffee. The corners of the building that are meant to be associated with the coffee shop part of the business are nice; lots of plants and homey touches. But even though we did see servers taking orders at other tables, I don't think they have that down. I'd recommend coming here just for small orders at the counter.

Bachman's is a family-owned business with several Twin Cities locations. In spring and summer, the…read moregreenhouses are a haven for garden lovers. This spot is known for its generosity with service, knowledge, and plant quality. Some may find the prices too much. However, the Purple Perks program guarantees purchases (employees can provide specifics). And, this is a low-pressure environment - it isn't unusual to find people simply strolling through the beauty alongside those serious shoppers. All seem to share a devotion that goes back years. Bachman's is highly likely to have just the plant you are looking for (yes, even the unusual ones) ... and if they don't, they do know what you are talking about and will try to point you toward a reasonablly close replacement, or the place you might find just what you are after. Today, I've been greeted by some employees I've come to know .... I'm here to find some strawflower seeds and maybe more herbs and the fancy tomatoes ... I'm resisting the oh-so-comfortable seating chat set that I can definitely picture near our garden ... and will be headed over to see if the on-staff horticulturist is around to offer some soil recommendations for planting just in case it isn't too late for winter sowing. Must. Avoid. Cute. Gift. Area. (!!!!!!) (Pictures and a few more details to come once shopping is completed!)

I love Kohl's. I have been making up for lost time by hitting a number of them whenever I have a…read morechance. On Thursday, I specifically was here to check whether there were baby Yoda silicone ice cube trays. The store in Eagan only had one, which I picked up for myself. I used it to make the most adorable, yet functional ice cubes in my hotel room's freezer that I needed to get one for a friend as a gift. I lucked out. This place had six of these ice cube trays. I got one. They were a steal at 50% off. This store also had a nice selection of graphic t-shirt. I ended up getting a Disney one with classic characters on the front, such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Daisy, Donald Duck, and Goofy. It was on sale, so I had to. I needed to try the t-shirt in a fitting room. Due to the pandemic, the store has one main fitting room in the middle of the store. The smaller ones scattered around the store were closed off. The fitting room that I was in was clean and bright. I liked the three hooks and a long rail to hang my items up and try them on. I ended up getting a long-sleeved tie-dyed shirt that was also marked down. I loved that the sleeves were longer. I normally have the reverse problem with sleeves. I went to line up at this store. It was a couple of days before Christmas, so the line was longer than usual. It moved at a decent pace. I got an older woman at the checkout who was in good spirits. I paid using a credit card. I also had my Kohl's points barcode scanned. It's a decent store with a ton of parking. Like with all Kohl's, you can do curbside pickup. The customer service counter is to the right when you enter the set of doors to the right of the Kohl's logo. This store is also special because it has a Sephora built into it. The Sephora is decent. It felt like being at a regular standalone one. I was impressed with the products that I saw, from the complete Fenty Beauty line, to Drunk Elephant. I liked shopping here. I'd come back again when I'm in the area. (488)

I have shopped at this Kohls location for over 20 years & today will be my last visit. The service…read morehas digressed significantly over the past several years. I understand that there was a complete paradigm shift post-Covid, however; you can only use that excuse for so long. The employees seem as though they are not properly trained to do the simplest of tasks regarding returns/price adjustments, etc. I attempted to return a hat/glove set that didn't fit this morning. The employee that helped (?) me was unable to locate the order number or SKU number of the product in her computer even though I pulled up the order on my phone & provided the information to her. She tried over & over again. I was becoming impatient & asked her to get someone else to help her. Another employee pulled up the information finally. I paid with Kohls cash & should have received that amount back. She insisted that the dollar amount was 0, so I wasn't due anything back. After I (the customer) explained how the return credit works in this situation, I was able to get my Kohls cash back. I have shopped at the Eagan location recently & have not experienced this level of service. This tells me that the onboarding of employees is not at the level that it should be.

We would never hire Eddie "Osario" Mercado of Pergola Pros to do deck work in Roseville MN again…read more It has become more and more aggravating having to look at and live with his sloppy work every day from a real-life perspective. He made so many claims and excuses to justify his poor work, it would take forever to unpack them. He doesn't know how to work his tools. It's almost like he hijacked a pro's tools and took them for a joyride. He makes excuses that the quality wood is warped and that's why he can't cut straight or make pieces line up. A real carpenter doesn't make excuses like Eddie does, he/she makes it square. I requested he give me just 50% of the quote I received to have his work remedied by a real pro. Of course, he refused and has abandoned the project. Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. If you like excuses, you'll like Eddie. At our initial meeting, he impressed us claiming had three crews working at the moment. Later he slipped he was a one-man shop. He said that we were lucky that the deck and its support were in superb condition and that construction will be a quick 1 1/2 day job to install and stain the railings. Anything to get the sale, I suppose and my fault for not initially questioning his grandiose claims. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: For us he was a big disappointment, and it will cost us a LOT of money to do the necessary demo work and redo it. He won't take responsibility. He attempted to the con that the high-quality cedar lumber was crooked and that is why his cuts were so out of true. Additionally, he tried to sell the obvious false argument that whatever cedar deck railing lumber wasn't crooked must have warped, shrunk and moved out of true just after he finished. This was highest quality stain-ready cedar lumber that was delivered from Menards the same day he started work. SUMMARY: The railings he installed are crooked with mismatched cuts and sloppy missed angles making the railings look embarrassingly amateur. The pictures below were taken the day he finished. He will not repair his blunders because he admits it was to the best of his ability. HE REFUSED TO RETURN TO CORRECT THE WORK. I suppose if I carefully select angles that hide the defects and get a good distance away, I could have pictures showing a beautiful deck railing. I can't do that. My pictures shown below.
