A “Third Place” in Aitkin, MN

Sampaguita is a community space serving the Lakes Area with a diverse retails experience and a philosophy that supports the arts through curating events for our customers. Customers have the opportunity to shop in a local, trusted environment while benefiting from our listening room which hosts weekly concerts from local and national groups, art shows, classes, puppets shows, and more. Our goal is for our home to be your home, and that you always feel welcome to shop, attend and event, or just stop by and say hello. 

The concept is that everything is for sale, everything, from a retail perspective. Like the art on the wall? Buy it. Like the chair or tables in the building? Buy it. Like some of the decor? Buy it. Our space is meant to be an ever evolving hub for the arts, retails and community where you feel at home in a space so much that you can always take a piece of it home with you.

This is different from most retail that has shelves and such. We aim to incorporate much of what we sell into the actual environment so that when you visit us it's more a gallery and living experience, where you can relax, listen, and enjoy.
