This store represents itself as an antique/ gift shop.

We have had people decline to offer a deal on several occasions, but have never been yelled at and told we couldn't purchase anything! Most of the time our offers are accepted, because the sellers are motivated to move their stock and bring in new stuff and want people to have a positive experience. I have never had an experience like this before, and hope others don't either. Their are so many wonderful stores snd proprietors out there. I couldn't in good consciousness recommend this one!

Business Response: "We do have the rug sale signs up all the time to promote them as we discount our rugs more than most of our other items and every week we mark down some rugs" Very deceptive advertising and prices that are not actually a bargain after comparing to other local stores that actually have customer service and do price adjustments and returns for defective items!

Although small, they have a decent variety of items. While I've never found furniture that works…read morefor my needs, they often have nice items in that section. Plus I like how they create cute vignettes to display them. I don't visit the clothing or shoe dept, but I can see (from a distance) that they have a wide assortment. There are always folks going through the racks. I spend most of my time in the home decor section. There's an aisle dedicated to 50% off clearance items. Then there are several aisles with normal (thrift) priced goods. The shelves can be a bit cluttered, especially in the kitchenware, cup, coffee machine area. If you're looking for a complete fine china dinnerware set I've often seen them here (4+ settings). Overall I think they have a good selection, so they're worth checking out. The only cons are: 1)the entrance is very cluttered (a hoarders dream), and 2)the store can use some type of air deodorizer to help with the stale odor.

If not, you can find them by the registers. They're for tagging larger items you want to buy. You put the sticker on, and take it's product/price tag to the cashier for check-out. -the store is packed with items and people, which makes moving around not so easy. I don't think it's ideal for walkers, wheelchairs, or strollers. If you have mobility challenges, navigating may be tough. -some items don't have a price tag, like the pillow I bought. I asked the cashier how the price is determined, and was advised they assign what they think is a fair price at check-out. My pillow was valued at $4. -i got there at 10:07am, 7 mins after they opened and there were people everywhere. That said, if you're a serious shopper arrive early to see the goods before the super-early birds snatch it all up. -again, it's filled with stuff; mainly furniture, home decor, dinnerware, kitchen goods, some shoes, books, and I even saw cute scarves and bags. It didn't seem like a destination for clothes. Now that I'v summed that up, I do believe it's a nice option for thrifting and would definitely recommend it.

Upon entering I was greeted by an employee who shared her name and asked what brought me in. After telling her, instead of showing me around, asking a million questions, or telling me everything about the store, she just referred me to areas I needed and allowed me to browse in peace. The space was spacious. I gather inventory changes, but when I went there were mostly couches. However, there were also tables, some patio items, rugs, chairs, storage (shelves, bookcases), and a few other items types. I didn't see a lot in terms of decor (throws, pillows, vases, etc). Unfortunately, none of the sofas were my style. Most of their items had a modern and retro look. And far bigger than my space could acommadate (sensibly). Although it's the outlet prices were still pretty high. I was looking for miid-level so even if I liked a sofa, at $3k plus it wouldn't have worked. Thankfully there were other furniture stores in the area so it's not like I traveled out there for nothing.

There was furniture there for living and dining room that looked pretty good. I would certainly consider ReStore when I'm in the market for a dining room set. I am considering changing what I've got. We didn't interact with any staff, as it wasn't necessary. They all seemed to be friendly and were helping various customers throughout the store.

Today I visited the new location that opened TODAY 3/3/22 (3006 Texas Ave S, St Louis Park) -- great luck!! There's plenty of parking and the space is laid out beautifully. You can really see all the items and everywhere you turn, there's something new. My mom and I like to frequent this shop to see what's new, and I think we'll come even more now that there's a new location! Be sure to follow the owners Instagram (@retrowanderlust) to keep up with any sales she has or if she has changes to her schedule. I believe she's planning on doing a bit of e-commerce, so that will be fun to see as well! We've bought some dresser drawers from RW before, and today my mom picked up a beautiful large blue tablecloth for only $28. She also bought a concrete candle for $14. I'd say pieces are priced fairly -- sturdy and unique antiques are an investment! That said, I think there's something in this store for any budget, there's a wide range of pricing. I definitely recommend going to Retro Wanderlust, and now, even better -- it's in a fun part of St Louis Park. Make a fun day of it or just go to browse the fun collection and go home. I'll be back. Thanks Karen!
