February 1st marks the 50 year anniversary of Top Shelf!

It’s one year since the sale of our building in South Minneapolis. We’ve completed our move to 333 N. Washington, in the Union Plaza. Our entire workroom and staff are now settled into spacious new digs. The showroom we now share with Daniels Custom Clothing is running smoothly, and the unanimous verdict is that we’re in a space that’s as beautiful as the one we left.

Available parking spaces on both sides of our building

There are numerous metered parking spaces surrounding the building we’re in, but finding the location the first time has been challenging for clients not familiar with this area of the North Loop.  We recommend you use Maps or Waze and punch in the restaurant name Dario, whose front door faces our building. There are machines to pay on both the north (along the wall of Deja Vu) and south side of our building (that faces us and Dario). We can give you a code to facilitate free parking but you’ll still need to go to the machines to input your license plate number and select 1,2 or 3 hours.

A Word About Alteration Services

We stopped accepting retail alterations on non-Top Shelf garments years ago and only accept work from our custom clientele. We’ve been referring clients for the last several years to alteration shops, such as Tailors on Blake in Hopkins and Sew Biz in downtown Minneapolis which are owned and operated by alumni of Top Shelf.  We accept alterations from our custom customers, but won’t be able to promise rush services on major jobs. Call ahead to check our availability and realistic lead times.

The best way to reach us is to send an e-mail to John@TopShelfInc.com, include your phone number and he’ll respond as promptly as possible. We’re working strictly by appointments and not keeping set regular hours. We’ll try our best to accommodate your needs. Our phone number is the same, 612-824-2800
