The Champps at Ridgedale is not posted. I have been there many times and have never seen a sign. I was there on Friday evening 4/14/06. They do indeed have an illegally posted sign.
It's a brass colored sign ( which is too small) posted to the left of the second set of entry doors in the vestibule.
Very hard to see, improper placement and improper color & size.
Bottom line.... my XD-9SC was on my waist the entire time. Dinner went fine.

Well, not to brag, but I do have a big, uh, I mean, carry a big pistol. It's a Glock 19.  The 19 has a 4" barrel, right? I guess it would be immature to say, mine's an inch bigger.

The only item I had on me - that I could have used to establish the scale of the sign - had a 4.5 inch barrel on it...
I'll try harder next time, Andrew...

On a unrelated topic, there was a guy sitting kind of kitty corner to us who stared at me for a good 2 or 3 minutes. Not sure what his deal was, but he never said anything. Too wierd. I was just going to post about this. Because of the way the entry is set up, if you come in from the regular Champp's parking lot, you will never see the sign. the entry is something like a door, with two walls going at 45 or so degrees back towards the building to make a bump out of sdorts. The sign faces the parking lot for what used to be a liquor store IIRC.

FWIW, I was at Champps Burnsville (Hwy 42) recently, and could not find a sign, looked pretty hard because of this post. Not that I'd care, actually, I was just going to hand them my card and go somewhere else where I'm more welcome.

If you tried to find the sign, and couldn't see it, there was no sign.
Even if there was, there wasn't.
Want a good place to eat- pop over a mile east on 42 and Nicollet, by the Holiday Inn, and stop in the Roadhouse Grill.
That place isn't posted. And they have some pretty good food- and all the free peanuts you can gorge yourself on.
Their prime rib and steaks are just as good or better than Timberlodge or Outback- both in the vicinity.

The individual restaurants in Champps chain are not all owned by the same person. I know this because my co. sells to them. Some of the Champps carry our stuff, and some others do not. Same with “Thou shallt not carry” signs…

The exact same sign is posted at the Champps in Richfield....never even noticed it before, and I (used to) go there a lot for the Sunday brunch with relatives. Pity, Champps is a pretty decent place as far as sports bars go for chow...
