Zimmerman Dry Goods

It’s unique and been around for 30+ years… the place is pretty sweet if you ask me. Also they have the cheapest 1 colors anywhere in the city. (no joke, I checked)

I ordered shirts for a festival I’m planning. They staff talked me through me idea and helped me get the exact look I wanted. I called back the next week to reorder more shirts and they quickly filled that order too. I recommend this shop, especially calling and sending them all shirt order info via email.

A Prince tee hanging in the window caught my eye while walking down Grand Ave on my way to say hi to a chef friend, so I decided to peruse their racks. Sadly, I was quite disappointed with my experience.
Upon walking in, you’ll notice that the walls from top to bottom are covered in various vintage t-​shirts that vary in quality — from Gildan to American Apparel — and design.
Unfortunately, they aren’t organized very well, price tags don’t exist, and if you’re lucky, you might get to meet someone from the store. In my case, I happened to catch the owner, who briefly acknowledged me, on his way to the back room to each lunch with his employees.
So customer service doesn’t exist.
And the lighting is really dim.
Did I mention that there aren’t any price tags?
I did, however, find a couple t-​shirts that I liked. There’s the Prince shirt that I mentioned, as well as a Minneapolis Lakers throwback. (I have MPLS Lakers fitted, so I was pumped.) Not knowing the price of the shirts, I hollered to the backroom to ask about them. The owner disgruntledly replied, «$ 15 for the American Apparel made ones, $ 12 for everything else.» I asked to buy both. While paying, I said, «cool place, man.» He replied, «ok.»
When I arrived home, I realized that the Minneapolis Lakers tee had three huge stains all over the front. They were only noticeable in the bright light. Perhaps that’s why Zimmerman is dim inside…
I hate to do this to a local business, but I absolutely cannot recommend an establishment with poor products and service.

I cant believe what lack of customer service I got when I called this place. I had a small quantity of shirts, I live 5 blocks away and have been in before. When I asked if they could help me out the guy said ‘Nope, we wont make enough money on your order‘. I COULDN’T believe a business would actually say that to a customer!!!
