We have consistently been impressed with Super Target stores and their exceptional customer…read moreservice. Although we do not frequent the Monticello location often, our preferred Target store is in Otsego/Elk River due to its convenient location. A notable feature of this store is its cafe and dining area, which boasts ample natural light from the outside windows. However, I was informed by a manager that this amenity may be removed during the store's future renovation. We hope this is not the case. We are aware that Monticello/St.Michael residents regularly shop at this store and appreciate its optical department. It is reassuring to know that another outstanding Target store exists in our region. We intend to visit this location more frequently when shopping in Monticello. We do love that they sell our favorite Krispy Kreme donuts and Pizza Hut.

This Target location makes it so easy to grab groceries on the go. Drive up space has so many spots…read moreit's never full and there are always multiple runners. And the best part is you don't pay a dime extra. I could bring two kids in the store - and sometimes it's a field trip for them to peruse the toys - but if time is tight or it's just one of those days, I know I'll be in and out. Great attention to selecting produce and always super quick and convenient! And inside the store is always clean!

Frank & Bessie's Attic is a very nice antique store with quality merchandise…read more FBA isn't very big. But it's packed with high quality, unique merchandise at very reasonable prices (see photos). Everything is clean, organized, and displayed nicely. Don't forget to checkout the 2nd floor balcony area. There are more goodies up there. I'd say that around 25% of the store is merchandise that wouldn't be considered an antique. I usually don't like this stuff but FBA does a good job. There are a few vendor areas with reproduction signs, bird houses, hand-made signs, and that sort of thing. But there's also a giant wall of high quality specialty cooking oils and vinegars in front - very cool. There's some amazing functional art on the front desk. There are instruments (and a pipe sculpture) converted into functional lamp art. I usually don't like this stuff. (I've seen other shops where someone shoves a light bulb on something old and tries to sell it.) But this artist, Charlie Fiss, is crazy talented -- amazing stuff! In particular, there was an awesome violin lamp with color changing LEDs (with a remote), a USB charger in the base, and a blue tooth speaker hidden in the violin so you can play music. The pipe sculpture lamp was pretty darn cool too. It had all kinds of doo-dads, knobs, switches, an old fuse, a digital readout, and an analog clock. Charlie - you rock! As a final note, the owner is really nice. My wife and I really enjoyed talking to her. Ironically, this building was built by her grandparents, and she has their photo proudly hanging by the front entry door. Unfortunately, it sounds like the city wants to buy this building so they can demolish everything and "develop" the land. Really? Do they need some junky condos or a crappy strip mall near the river? Yuck! I hope this never happens. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. -Daddy Maxx Retro

One of my favorite occasional shops! You may have a tough time finding it. The house it's in is old…read moreand rather dumpy, but inside you'll find repurposed furniture, candles, beautiful jewelry and so much more!! Many items are secondhand, but nice quality. The owners are super friendly and helpful. Picked up several items during Girls Night Out last Spring.. I'm a fan! This is an "occasional" shop. Just be aware that they are open for one weekend a month. It's the second week of each month. (Thurs, Fri and Sat) Wish it were more!

I may be biased, as I worked here for a summer, but my experience with Thomsen's goes beyond that…read more I've always enjoyed coming here, the atmosphere of the greenhouse is very nice. The location is a little out of the way, but is worth the visit. The backyard garden is very nice, and there is a diverse selection of annuals, perennials, vegetables, trees/shrubs, and decorations. Everyone staffed knows their stuff, and it makes shopping here easy and enjoyable. I loved the place so much that I got myself a job here, if that says anything.

We purchased a Hottub from Hot springs in the Woodbury location and had nothing but great service…read morethe entire time. We had a difficult remodeling project involving many parties and the Hot Springs team was by far the best one to work with. Markas and Keo were very flexible with our ordering and scheduling process to ensure it got done on our schedule. Their installation/service team were top notch. The Joshes and Janvirer were a huge help and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for the install and getting the tub functional. I highly recommend Hot Spring Spas for your new Hottub!
