Minnesota gets brought up a lot on this blog. Minnesota is the home of our headquarters and where the majority of our founding retailers are based.

I bring Minnesota up in this blog post because I love this place and wanted to share a few of my favorite boutiques, restaurants, and shops with you that are all based here in Minnesota.

Like Marco V Cigars, these shops are not chains but unique, boutique type shops that have personality and an interesting appeal.
