General Store of Minnetonka

I've been going to the General Store since it's inception on Water Street when I was 10. It was a treat for my grandparents and I to go everytime I visited them in Excelsior. Now I live in Florida, so every time I get back "home", the General Store is my must stop! It exudes so many childhood memories for me and to see its growth over the years has been really heart warming. Can't wait to go in a few weeks! Their Minnesota selection of goods is AMAZING!

This place is the greatest. It absolutely demands a visit. And the popovers are the biggest. All the items to look at and purchase are too numerous to mention. Also visit the cafe.

I love coming here with my family. There is plenty to choose from, and most of the items they sell are not on big chain shelves. I adore looking through the herbs and spices as well as the knickknacks and antiques. The only thing I can say that is negative is that the prices are outrageous. I understand that this is a form of a small business, but if you are looking for something general and not special, I’d recommend saving money at a chain. If you’re looking for a special item I highly recommend the general store!

so local so great. Always an adventure, a hunt for something special. Whether you need a present, home decor or lunch it really is a General Store

A lot to see here. We had a great day browsing and shopping. Was able to choose many gifts for family and friends. Huge variety. They have a cafe was delicious food as well.
