Claire's is a store that is definitely marketed toward a fixed demographic, and anyone not in that demographic will find it unbearable. Its merchandise consists of thousands of sparkles, sequins, and feathers. It is essentially costume jewelry. However, it markets very well toward that demographic, with a flashy store interior and annoying electronic pop playing constantly inside. Your ten-year-old daughter will love it. You? Not so much.

Wildcats, Unlimited is generally acknowledged as the place to go if you want to show your Duluth spirit. They carry everything imaginable in purple and white, and they will customize almost anything. But they are terrible at customer service. If you order a customized item, it will be weeks before it is ready, and when it comes in, they may not call you. You have to assume the responsibility of tracking your order yourself, or you may not know when it is ready. They also have constantly changing business hours, or they may not be open when they advertise open hours.

Books for Less is a great used-book store, with good prices and accomodating service. It is a great place to go browse and see if there's anything that catches your eye, and if there is, it probably only costs a few dollars. And if you don't feel like keeping it, you can sell it back to them. They also do mass orders for schools, etc. for less than many major companies. They have the ability to acquire out-of-print books, but these are often very expensive (not a fault of the store, just a major tendency of the book market).

Wonderland is a stationary store marketed largely toward an Asian population, featuring cute characters such as Blue Bear. The pencils, paper, etc. are high-quality but very pricey ($3-$4 for some single pencils). They sell everything ranging from stuffed animals to day planners to packages of paper. The selection is enormous, and their products are nice for the occasional splurge.

CD Warehouse is a used CD and DVD store that only accepts high-quality used merchandise. The 7 or 8 dollar price tag may seem high on a used CD, but you always have a quality guarantee. The store is organized in a easy-to-navigate fashion, and the people behind the counter know their music. They buy your CDs back for about three dollars per album, a good deal in comparison with most other stores, and they pay in cash, not in store credit. You'll probably end up spending that cash in the store anyways, with their wide variety of selections. They do sell new CDs at reasonable prices, if you want to sell back your albums but are not interested in other people's used ones.
