The shop offers major discounts on everything that they acquire.Hood said their rare, one-of-a-kind shop is "kind of a bucket list destination" for folks.The bottom line is, if you don't grab your bag at the airport, the airlines sell it.

The Minnesota Wild’s best player, Kirill Kaprizov, last summer experienced a harrowing journey getting back from homeland Russia in time for this season.
