Antiques in Hopkins, MN

“Pink Elephant is not only easily the best of the four antique/vintage stores on Main Street in Hopkins, but also is easily one of the best in the Twin Cities.

Not the largest, it's absolutely packed with quality goods. Its collection gets updated often enough it's a treasure hunt every time I go in. Plus the folks that run it are welcoming and fun.”

“My 99 year old father in law sells his Antique Treasures here almost all the sellers are who are the workers there they each work 2 days per month when selling goods at this store... so if you get a bad experience with a worker mostly they won't be in there the next time if you try them again! Most of the people selling in there are Antiques Themselves! Nice people and caring you can offer them less it never hurts to ask. It's Great they have this place to keep them busy and memories of times gone by”

“The second best of the four Hopkins antique stores and I really like this place. They have an enormous selection (much of which is very high quality) with great hidden finds every time I've visited.

The vendors should take care with the conversations they have in the aisles though. I didn't need to hear the "woe is us" story about how people have realized how to go to the source of vintage clothing to buy direct rather than pay the vendor's flipped pricing. Yes,it means less stock for you to upsell, but if kids these days have figured out how to better pick clean the thrift shops with their limited income, more power to them.”

“Well organized and clean, but really only stuff your grandmother would buy.

You might get lucky like I have in the past, but in general their selection tends towards exceedingly old and stuffy (Edwardian is I believe the style). It's all in spectacular shape, but it's well past its prime. I didn't terribly appreciate the dismissive staff; last time we were there we pointed out a mislabeled (it was not the brand it claimed to be) product that was too expensive for it's faux nature and was entirely blown off.

Worth going in, just don't expect to find much.”
