The Spirit Store is open from 4-7 Tuesday through Friday and from 11-4 on weekends. The store is seasonal and will be closing on December 30th, so head over now before it’s too late. Some of the sales associates are actually volunteers. The profits go to Edina boosters, so buying from the Spirit Store supports Edina.

Many other high school students work as sales associates as well, you’’ no doubt find many recognizable faces in the store as well. “I really like working there! And I get a discount on the clothes so that’s pretty neat,” states Gratzek.

Help out Edina by purchasing a unique t-shirt or a fun spirit jersey. Plus it’s a great way to get last minute gifts for the holidays. Happy Shopping!
