North Branch Outlets — Local services in North Branch

Kids Bloom has amazing prices. All workers there are fantastic. If you use a walker, wheelchair or a cane. You definitely can get around easy. It's spacious, well lit and the clothes are in fabulous condition. The owner is very personable. Fantastic attitude and everyone is welcome.

Bed, Bath & Beyond has fantastic prices. When they have sales, you get those prices. No hidden fees. They have someone who greets you at the door, welcomes you and treats you respectfully. They all love it when you ask questions because they all get a gleam in their eye when they talk.

Dollar Tree has great prices. You get quality food. They want to make sure you can find what your looking for and get all that you want. They try to make sure customers aren't waiting long at checkout and if that happens, they always apologize even if your the second customer. They have an interesting array of items and it's fun to walk around and visit each aisle to see what they have. It's easy to walk in with a small list and come out with a lot more however, when you leave, thinking about your purchases, you laugh and you don't feel guilty for spending more than you planned.

Maurice has unique clothes and the prices aren't outrageous. They have a dressing room and a place to sit if you need too. No hidden fees and when they have sidewalk deals that for an example are $5, they honor it.

I recommend these places because, each one is definitely unique in their own way and you can find all kinds of interesting gifts for any age.

The others, I haven't...

Currently the outlet mall only houses a few businesses... dollar tree (every thing will be increasing to $1.25 at this location in January 2022), family pathways thrift store, bath and body works. There may be more inside the stripemall. Dollartree has great prices and the staff is very courteous and they keep the store clean and stocked. Thethrift store staff is courteous but not as clean. Some of the prices are overpriced so are not. The thrift store does have a good variety but not as much as their other branches. Bath and bodyworksis spendy despite the items being factory defe to or overstock. They are the same price as if you bought them in a bigger mall. The staff o the day I went was rude and upitty. The storewas clean and well organized but for a person with sensory issues it may be too overwhelming. You do need to read the ingredients if you have allergies... there's ingredients in their products you would expect. The bathroom is lo aged inside the stripe mall just past where the Hanes store used to be... its not kept very...

The North Branch Outlets, formerly Tangiers Outlets are only a shell of what they once were. I just visited in July of 2019, and about 2/3 of the stores had closed and moved out. Most of the storefronts were vacant, and the buildings look run down. I'm not sure if they are starting to close this location permanently and I happened to visit near the end, but I didn't see any signs posted about the strip mall closing down. This used to be a destination to stop at before you went to the Mall of America, or on the way back, but not so...
