Paffrath's has been my jeweler for over 12 years. The owners, Joel and Jake, have always treated me…read morewith respect and I am happy to call them friend. They have repaired rings and necklaces for at least 5 members of my family and they have created 7 custom pieces for me as well. They provide excellent service and employ wonderfully talented staff (Tanya) who always greet me by name and with a smile. I recommend them to anyone who has asked me for references and will continue to do so. I would never go anywhere else.

My fiancee went in to get her eng. ring sized and the owner proceeded to tell her that the cast of…read morethe ring was made sloppy and pointed out imperfections. I entirely agree with the imperfections that he found but to point out to my fiancee a bunch of problems made us both feel bad. When I confronted him about his conversation with her he got defensive and told me that I was wrong and he was right, no apology was ever given. I ended up taking the rings back before he could do the work. The rings were in her name and he didnt check with her that I could take them, he didn't make me sign anything, he didn't even ask my name before letting me walk out with the rings! To summarize, if you want no security for you item, a rude owner/salesman, and an all around cocky/abrasive jeweler then Paffrath is the place.

A friend last summer talked about this store. I saw my client in Alexandria and asked her. She…read moresaid its hit or miss, mainly overstock, etc. There were a lot of cars in the parking lot. I grabbed a basket. This store is severely cluttered, with narrow aisles for 1 shopper or cart in them. They seem to mark their products with a black sharpie. This store is enormous. It looks like a lot of Costco, dollar tree excess stuff that didn't sell. Some prices were high even, such as $24 Legos and $8.99 towels. There are a boatload of toys and clothes. I bought an ND flag, Reeses popcorn, and 2 bottles of pop. They had Glacier National Park stuffed animals and excess stuff saying Silverton, CO. Places I had not been to. This pottery was alright, but then marked with a sharpie. How dumb. This place was very similar to Gopher Bargain Center in St Cloud. Oh, there's a lot of expired Easter candy. Anyone?

Great prices. Kind of a jumble for stock. If you see something you want, buy it now as it may be…read moregone tomorrow. Fun to search all they have.

Sad to say, Jakes Bikes dissapointed us greatly.We really shopped and researched EBIKES.As they…read moreare $$$$$ We are elderly and our concern was having great support and service.After we bought the ebike the decline began The service took a nose dive after the 2ond summer owning it The bike had very low mileage and somehow the chain fell off. Jake came out and in seconds it was fixed.The next day when my husband was goint to go ride,It would not even start. 1 WEEK later we recieved a bill for the ''CHAIN being put on track" IT WAS ALMOST $200.00!!!!! I was insulted,as he NEVER said that would be the cost.I was stunned when I emailed him and asked why so much He got defencive and stated he told us that is what he charges...I know that we are very cautious when we spend in a luxury.As my jusband is very economicly conservative,he would not do that without a discussion. I was very respectful and he became indignant,and said, that he was charging the fee anyways.It was so much to do a seconds work.He said the bikes are $$$$$$$ so is everything else so much because I sell $$$$$bikes.He did not care that after he left it did not even start! Really, don't you think it was common sence to just allow it to start.I spoke about my years of owning a retail store, and I was so successful becaise not only was I talented.I was never rude or dismissive to a client if they needed anything.When we sell anything thats only a small part,of having 1 sale or getting many!REFERALS ARE A RETAILERS STRONGEST TOOL IN NARKETING He ended up simply acting as if we were being needy and demanding.Stand behind the items you sell.Never argue and act justified in exploiting a vulnerable adult! I call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face. Too bad, I was going to also going to buy a bike,but now? NO. I AM NOT.That act and inflated ego just cost Jake future biz,and services.Penny wise, dollar foolish!
