There's ample other store offerings including Kate Spade, Zumiez, Torrid, Ralph Lauren, Carters, and more! ++ The layout is pretty typical; a strip mall, with each store's entrance going directly to the outside. ++ There is a Five Guys and Starbucks to satisfy any pre- or post-shopping hunger. ++ Albertville Premium Outlets def offers more than enough parking to handle any size crowd. -- Like most outlet malls I've been to in the past few years, there are quite a few vacancies. Def a bummer. Albertville Premium Outlets def checked all the items I have come to expect in an outlet mall. I'd gladly stop back by on my way to Northern Minnesota again.

WOW - can I do more than 5 stars?! My fiancé and I went to another Men's Warehouse (Roseville) last…read moreweek and had quite literally the worst customer service experience. We were not planning on going through Men's Warehouse after that - we decided to try one other location and we headed to Coon Rapids with out fingers crossed. We made an appointment, my fiancé said the employee who helped him on the phone was very nice, helpful, and reassured him his experience would not be negative. The SECOND we walked in, I felt a breath of relief as not one, but two kind staff greeted us. One of the staff, Laurel, took us to a table that was set up with all of the things we needed to make our decisions and browse options. Laurel, aka our saving grace, was incredibly helpful - would not change one single thing! WOW! Whoever managed this location needs to give this man a raise! He totally knew what he was doing - pulling styles, colors, and fitting my fiancé. Previously at Roseville location, we didn't get any help browsing, deciding, or figuring anything out (literally at all) but we felt supported each step at our appointment with Coon Rapids. Laurel knew where everything was and made things so easy! This man needs to train others to do things exactly how he does because I would not change one thing! We were in and out within 45 minutes, picking out a tux for my fiancé and suits for 7 groomsmen. Dare I say it was even fun?! We highly recommend Coon Rapids location and will send out friends that way. This location is the reason we will return to Men's Warehouse as I was close to swearing off of them forever after our last experience! Thanks Laurel and the team at Coon Rapids Men's Warehouse!

Maybe due to cut or brand, so I just went with it. Tried the jacket on and took a look in the mirror - pretty good fit and quality. When the salesman asked if I'd try on the pants, however, I let him know I was more curious about the jacket fit and was just looking for the moment. Never saw him again - he straight abandoned, disappeared and never returned for the jacket or to help look for other styles. I suspect he didn't expect a sale and utterly left without a word. Rude and snooty aren't descriptions I'd normally use in a nice place like Plymouth but the treatment stank of elitism. Great quality and products, not impressed with some of the staff so far.

Um...WHOA?! I've…read moreheard about this store from friends before, but thought it was just a fancy menswear store. Well boy, was I wrong. I stopped in a few days before Christmas, and I actually had a few things yet I wanted to get my grandpa, so this worked out great. At the entrance - and throughout the store - I found free hot coffee, tea, refreshments, cookies, and treats. Maybe it's just a holiday thing but I loved the hospitality. The space is HUGE - so much more than clothes! I had no idea. They have: - books and coffee table books - a whole room dedicated to perfume/cologne and scents - a whole area for cocktail-related gifts - home decor, tableware, and interior decor items - kitschy smaller giftables that were organized by theme (work/office, hosting, etc.) - menswear and womenswear - jewelry - candles - and so much more! I genuinely believe you can walk in here and be sure to find something for anyone on your gifting list. The service was incredible: lots of welcomes and greetings, and staff there to help you if you need it. Oh, they even have a room you can reserve while shopping?! FANCY!

I am part of a large, semi-formal wedding in Atlanta. The function is laden with "pomp and…read morecircumstance" that might give me hives. However, a close friend is diving in for his third, and I applaud his happiness. I won't wear a tuxedo, but I needed to have a suit made that would make the bride and the 400 attendees comfortable. The bride already told me not to don a fedora or pink sneakers, although I wanted to. Todd Fliginger at Martin Patrick took me under his wing. Todd is amazingly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. He sent swatches to Milwaukee before we moved to Minneapolis. Tailors were brought in, especially the master tailor Robert, not only to measure, but also to have me try on different designers' pieces to see what would fit well. I am a difficult fit, with a body more like a penguin than a human. That's what a custom tailor in NYC told me. However, I don't nosh on Krill. Todd and Robert took hours to get a correct fit and guaranteed that I would look good. Todd even saved me several hundred dollars off the original quote. ADDENDUM: My suit arrived, and it looked amazing. A few alterations are required to ensure a perfect fit, but that's it. I had a suit made on Savile Row in London that cost more than three times this suit's price, and it did not fit as well. This store should be on every list of Minneapolis's sightseeing highlights. It is akin to a design museum. Everything at Martin Patrick--furniture and furnishings--is for sale, and they're all amazing! Martin Patrick 3 is down-to-earth sophistication, with a NYC or Parisian vibe. Yet, the staff is Midwest empathetic. It is a Minneapolis treasure, as is Todd. I might not be looking forward to this wedding, but at least I know I will look my best.

Visiting Nordstrom's Racks sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. You never know if you're going to…read morefind that designer bag or shoes for 80% off or if all you're going to find is the Nordstrom rack brand items. That's what makes it fun! The Rack in Maple Grove is decent sized and well laid out. They tend to have a bit of a smaller selection of the higher end designers that you can find at the Mall of America Nordstrom rack but still a decent variety. They carry women's, men's, children's, shoes, accessories and home goods. Parking is plentiful but the traffic flow is a little tricky directing you right into the first row. That row gets 100% of incoming traffic so I'd recommend parking one or two over. Customer service here is always good. While you are kind of on your own to hunt the racks (if you want a personalized shopping experience head to the actual Nordstrom's) the employees always seem to be in a good mood and helpful when checking out. Dressing rooms are always clean and they have plenty of spaces to try on items. It helps when people return unwanted items to the return racks so do your part and don't leave them in the room. Overall I think visiting this location is fun and I rarely leave empty handed!

They claimed to have check cameras, and they claimed that the shoes were in the bag, but the shoes never made it home with me. I'm a professional medical provider I have two twin boys, a husband there is no other female in the house and I know what I saw and how this person was acting at the register. Just make sure you check your items before leaving this store! Especially when you have someone that's bagging your stuff on the ground versus on the countertop!
