Now open: The Foursome

Now open: The Foursome What: The classic Wayzata men's store has moved to Plymouth and reopened in a sweeping new space. There's an impressive "tall and big" section. In addition to the men's clothes, there is a shoe store that features footwear for men, women and kids (including Uggs!).

History: The store was started in 1935 by a golf foursome. In 1955, Ron and Lucille Engel bought into the business. It's now run by his son, Gordy Engel, with two of his daughters -- Nicole Chose and Keri Rouen.

Shop now: There's an excellent selection of gifts, from certificates for custom-made shirts to sweaters and vests to leather gloves from St. Croix Knits of Winona, Minn.

Details: 3570 Vicksburg Lane N., Plymouth, 763-473-4667, www.thefoursome.com.
