There were 2 people working but they spent their entire time sharing tik tok videos and gossiping. I guess that can be ok in a shop like this, but it did give off a weird vibe. There is a lot of space in the store which makes it feel like their merch is not plentiful, but maybe that is intentional? Not sure I would go out of my way to go to this place in the future.

This Fantasy Gifts is located right in between a generic cell phone service provider and a hair…read moresalon. The parking lot has plenty of parking and is well lit at night. Vic, the employee, was very attentive as soon as I walked in. It was obvious that he was well trained in the products available in the store, as he fielded questions from 3 customers looking for 3 very different things. In other times that I have been to this store, the employees have made me feel welcome and willing to talk about anything sex novelty related, and not feel judged. The prices on toys are about spot on and what one could expect from the commercial porn industry. Good selection of 8" stiletto heel boots and shoes, I noticed. The lube, however, is way over priced. I saw lube carried at Walgreens for about $5 less. So alas, fantasy gifts is not the one stop shop for the bedroom player on a budget. But for everything else you may need to get, you can't go wrong.

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!

Make sure when you make a purchase you check your bags before leaving because they do have someone…read moreat the register that is very slick and sneaky and she takes things and acts like she's putting them in your bag and she doesn't I bought four pair of shoes and four pair of shoes was on my receipt. I got home and I didn't check my things right away. The next day when I checked I only had three pair of shoes with 3 boxes. I called. And spoke to someone that claimed to be a manager they said they would investigate the situation. 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!

Unbelievably terrible. My fiancé's bridesmaid ordered her dress over TWO months ago, has been…read morefollowing up regularly, and was PROMISED by management the dress would arrive 4 days before the wedding. That deadline came and went, every time any one of us reached out for more info they said "sorry, we don't have any other info, but it will be here". We are now 2 days from the wedding. We called again today, only to be told the dress won't show up for another month. When we asked why we weren't informed of this delay any single other time we reached out, their reply was "we didn't learn of the delay until today" which is, again, already past the original date it we were promised it would arrive. This past Friday, we were informed it was being OVERNIGHTED. Nothing. When we asked what we're supposed to do, and what David's Bridal could do to help us in this situation, the response offered to us was that "we'll refund her money". Thank you. For refunding the money for a dress we never received. Amazing business practice.

I have taken my bike here several times over the last few years. Everything from bearing issues, flat tire, simple maintenance and new tires required. Every time I have taken it here I have been impressed with how quick they have been and they have always done everything needed. Including the time that "other" bike place had put on a tube that had far to short a stem for my style of tire...they replaced the tube so I could actually fill my tire easily and gave me a great deal on the replacement tube! Now this last drop-off was a 3-week wait, WWWWhat?? I get it, pandemic...everyone and their dog is biking....means long wait time for a guy that bikes all the time. I am out of town for a few days for work so no big deal. When I get home, weather is good...I am going to call and see if I can get my bike and just put it back in the queue when it's my turn. Bad bearings don't mean I can't ride, right!! Friday AM, one week in, I'm getting ready to call and they call me! Bike is ready, under $100 with all the work they did. I am amazed, happy and off for a Friday afternoon ride in the city. Friday afternoon, bike rides perfect. Repairs are all done and it's like i pulled it right off the rack! If you're anywhere near Maple Grove and bike, I would highly recommend going here! Great service from guys that understand how important your bike is! They have all the gear and adds you need to stock up on as well, one-stop-shop! KT

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.
