It's nice having an REI in Maple Grove, this spot is a little smaller than the Bloomington location…read morebut still a decent variety. I'm in love with Smartwool socks, I try to find them on clearance through the outlet section of the app and pick them up at the store. Sometimes they have them on clearance here but not usually. The brands are great...nice, quality things do cost more but they also last longer. The REI brand is really good too, a little more affordable than Marmot, The North Face, Arc'teryx, etc without giving up too much on quality. It's worth it to become a member, one time $20 fee for a 10% dividend on purchases to use in store. Something about coming in makes me want to be more of an outdoors person and buy stuff I don't really need.

Within a couple hours I had the Come Get It email. I went the store per the instructions, the lumber yard for pick up. I pulled up to the gate and a jolly fellow came out. I handed him my license and showed him the email barcode. Easy Peasy and he instructed me to drive to the other side of the yard to get my item, without having to get out in the cold! Before I pulled away he said "make sure to tell them who you saw today" as he pointed to his name bade "Santa Mark" we had a chuckle. Thanks Fleet Farm for the friendly, efficient and fast service!

I have went to their stores in Minneapolis and Minnetonka multiple times where they have me in their system I do my repairs there for my bicycle and for my electric scooter when I get flat.

I'm very shocked by the level of 1 star views the shop is getting. I'm definitely visiting them today and hopefully I will not change my mind and edit my review.

That shop's manager has now opened Lake State Mountaineering with similar wares and similar values. So we're talking high quality canoeing, climbing, camping, and hiking gear from a combination of large, small, and local vendors. They have a website you can order from, but if you want to browse in person and get knowledgeable advice from this passionate crew, you can pop into the shop. They have some pretty high-end merchandise, but I'm seeing some tempting sale offers and they have a rental program that might help you get kitted out for an adventure. This storefront location might be tricky to find at first. Enter through the building's Washington Avenue door, next to the barber shop, then follow the signs through the door there and up the stairs, where you'll spot them. I promise there's a nice store up there! You're on your own for parking but it's easy enough to find metered street parking. If you want to properly gear up for this kind of activity and want the best equipment, sold to you be a locally-owned store who will give you honest recommendations that come from deep experience, this is where to go.

I've always been really picky when it comes to buying shoes. Everyone tells you that since our feet…read moreare all different, you should never buy shoes online, since you really don't know what kind of fit you'll get. I have broken this rule before with complete success; this time I wondered if it would hold. I read an online review of a running shoe in Runners World, and it sounded wonderful. Could it be? Then I checked around to see if it was available. I was disappointed to not find it UNTIL I checked out TC Running. Not only did they have it in my size and the color I wanted, they offered a great price and could ship fast. The amazing news here is that I got these sight unseen shoes fast at a great price and WOW! They fit perfectly. I didn't even want to take them off to go to sleep! I actually ordered a second pair because these absolutely perfect. Kudos to TC Running, my GO-TO place for shoes now! Highly recommend.

My husband and I have been coming here for years for the great service, friendly helpful atmosphere and of course quality products. Started by a local couple with one store ( Run n Fun) in St Paul and built into five locations, now branded TC Running and run by one of the former employees. Many of the employees have continued to stay working here even with the changes and the stores continue to serve the community with their Run Squad membership available to be part of a running group and have extra benefits. Also they are active in local track teams helping supply needed quality gear. We stopped tshopping for our yearly upgrade of our shoes after many miles have worn out last years. The service was top notch as always. Thanks to Mary at St. Paul store and Ryan at the Maple Grove store. If they don't have what you need at their store they will help you find it or order it for you. Thanks TC running family.
