Minnesota’s geek culture, NerdinOut, is a local treasure trove, not your run-of-the-mill comic book and toy store. With two prime locations in Rochester and Inver Grove, this haven for enthusiasts spans a vast 6,000 square feet at each site, offering an unparalleled selection of nerdy merchandise.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or someone looking to dive into a new hobby, NerdinOut offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere flanked with the promise of discovery.
At its core, NerdinOut’s mission transcends mere commerce. Aimed at rekindling the joy and community spirit often associated with comic book and toy stores of yesteryears, it actively fosters an interactive and nostalgic shopping experience. Through a variety of monthly events such as swaps, game nights, art projects, and even classes for kids, NerdinOut is committed to being more than a store—it’s a hub for fostering friendships, igniting passions, and building a community among enthusiasts of all ages. It’s a space where stories are not just read but lived and shared, bridging generations and bringing people together over shared passions.
The word on the street is that NerdinOut might not be content with conquering just the hearts of Minnesotans. With a tantalizing hint at potential expansions, the future could see NerdinOut bringing its unique blend of nostalgia, community, and fun to locations beyond the borders of Minnesota. This prospect stirs excitement not just among the local fans but also among the broader community of nerds, collectors, and pop culture aficionados eagerly awaiting their chance to dive into the immersive world that NerdinOut promises.
