Absolutely incredible place!! I had been past it a lot, but I finally stopped in and I'm so happy that I did. The staff are very friendly, and there is so much to see here. We also stopped in the café and got some goodies that were all delicious. The way everything is layed out in the store is very unique with lots of cool antique items throughout the store as decorations.

Cool store with a ton of gift items and household goodies. New building with old time interior makes this a must stop location for gifts for you or someone else Cool stuff

I've been here a couple times, let's say I couldn't really enjoy the shopping experience. They have several women that follow you around the store to make sure you're not going to steal something. Really? It's a bit much and ruins the shopping experience for the customers. How about put up security cameras like other stores do! Won't waste my money or my time at this place.

Walking into the General Store of Minnetonka is like stepping into your grandma’s attic—if grandma had impeccable taste, curated lighting, and a snack aisle that could cause spontaneous emotional healing. It’s a glorious mashup of gifts, gourmet treats, cozy clothes, and home décor that whispers, “You need this ceramic squirrel in a sombrero. Trust me.” Every corner holds a delightful surprise. One minute you’re admiring candles that smell like “Autumn’s Flannel Pajamas,” and the next you’re clutching a mug with Prince’s face and wondering how your life led up to this exact moment. Memorabilia and nostalgic treasures abound—half museum, half shopping spree, and completely charming. 🧦 Clothing - Comfort meets whimsy. 🍪 Food - Delicious enough to make your diet give up in defeat. 🖼️ Home Décor - If your walls could talk, they'd ask for everything here. Whether you're gift-hunting, memory-lane-strolling, or just there for the novelty socks, the General Store of Minnetonka makes you smile and then somehow convinces you to buy three things you didn’t know you couldn’t live without.
