Great selection of quality merchandise representing Lake Superior's north shore. Also has hiking and camping supplies.

This must be my favorite store in Grand Marais. Canoeing/camping gear, shoes, clothing, stickers, toys, crafts, books. Two stories of fun. Helpful staff. Free parking...hard to find on busy days.

Great selection of items, and very big. The prices I think are fair. The workers are not very friendly, we walked in at 4:10 pm two workers looked as us walking in then turned their head and continued on with what they were doing. I went upstairs to browse and another worker was folding, looked at me, and then continued on with what she was doing. I finally said hi then she replied "hi there" and hurriedly walked away. The store was not busy, there were maybe 5 customers in total. I did not feel comfortable in the store.

This is the largest shop in town and has the broadest selection: clothing, both souvenir and otherwise; books, including local & regional authors and topics; lots of outdoor gear; dishes, pottery & glassware; toys; jewelry; and various standard tchotchkes for tourists. There is a modest selection of specialty foodstuffs, but most of it is not produced locally. We ended up here on both our first and last days in town, and I think this is a good strategy for souvenir shopping in Grand Marais. You can get a sense of what is available, then if you don't find something in any of the other, more specialized shops nearby (some of them quite good), you can come back here to fill in the gaps. Caveat: don't trust their online posted hours no matter the source. I saw different hours between Yelp, Google, and the actual store...and even different hours were actually observed (at least on one day) than were posted on the front door. Luckily this was in favor being open later than expected, rather than the opposite.

They close at five during the peak of the fall season--earlier than everyone around them. Have heard it's because they can't get cheap foreign labor and do not pay enough to get local help. Ben Franklin across the street has some similar items for much lower cost.

the people that work there do not seem to like tourists. they are snappy and even if you are just ADJUSTING your mask they yell at you. customer service is NOT their strong suit. with that said, i've been going for years and their store has the most fun minnesota stuff and local gems -- LOVE the pottery and the jewelry and the uffdah mugs and fun mn swag. they have a GREAT sale corner on the top floor to the left. i've found fun purses and clothing and hats. they have several different kinds of candy and DELICIOUS caramels. it's a must see store in duluth, just don't expect super friendly people there.

When I travel I like to bring home items unique to the area or are made by locals. Lake Superior Trading Post fulfilled that need. I bought huckleberry jam, huckleberry chocolate bars and local wild rice (harvested by canoe!!). I also bought DEET-free bug spray that I forgot to pack. The store has a wide selection of items for outdoor adventures from clothes to camelpak bags and reservoirs. There's a little coffee shop just next door if you need a perk up while browsing.

Awesome place! A great place to find gifts, and also common needs while on vacation. I didn't even expect to go in, and I walked out with lots of fun goodies.

Merchandise is fine, but it isn't updated often. The restroom was out of order so I stopped shopping & paid for the few items I already had in hand. However, the worst was the surly unpleasant young lady at the register who seemed ill-equipped to ring up purchases or interact with customers. It was quite apparent that she did not want to be there. My change and receipt was thrust into my hand so I put my bills in my billfold and my receipt in my sack. I never expect a "thank you" or "come again", but being pleasant, courteous or professional is always appreciated. The cashier then rang up my mother who also had problems with her. The cashier asked if she wanted a sack (for her card) & when she replied that she did, the young lady became irritated & threw it in the counter. She laid the receipt on the counter without a word. Please train/retrain your employees as this is completely unacceptable.

There was actually a Yelp check in for a bag of free taffy, and it was good. As you walk in there is a display of books, some touristy, MN writers, many are familiar. They have all your needs and guilty pleasures, even wool socks in the summer. I was looking for earmuffs, which they didn't have. They have a handy bathroom and they can use another if they find a spot. Lots of helpful staff around. It's right on the lake so you can sit on the porch and enjoy that. I was there during the Fisherman's Picnic and they have food vendors all around that spot.
