Upstate MN — Local services in Grand Marais

I have always loved stopping into this shop when I’m up in Grand Marais, but this year I got to bring my 1.5 year old with me for the first time and my husband and I can’t stop talking about how adorable our experience was. We have a veryyyy friendly child, and Kristofer could not have been sweeter or more hilarious with him. While I got to try on pants (which I very happily purchased) my son had a hilarious chat with Kristofer who helped entertain him the whole time. Of course all of the products in this store are very high quality and so well curated, but the customer service is what really swept me off my feet this time. Thanks Kristofer for being so kind and welcoming to our lil guy — can’t wait to come in with him for many...

We just finished a visit in Grand Marais and this was our favorite store! The owner was so so so kind to our kids (he told them they could touch whatever they wanted and that he wanted them to explore) and to us. He welcomed every customer into the store and seems like such a carefree person. It was my birthday and he even gave me a small candle when we made our other purchases. I'm surprised about the previous reviewer's comments that he favored locals as I didn't get that feeling at all (and I'm not a local). The store had amazing products and I took a card so I can refill my candles and put things on my wish list. Loved...

What a great experience!! This is what shopping small business is all about! Kristofer is always excited to see new and returning customers and you truly feel welcome. There are always new items being added and the selection is awesome! If you're looking for a gift (for others or yourself) you should be able to find something here. If not, you'll at least enjoy a great look around and feeling like they are truly glad you stopped in. We try and stop by anytime we are in the area (6+ hr drive.) It's definitely one of our favorite shops! Incredible...
