Don't ask me why the sign on Ted's is upside-down. I'm sure there's a neat story behind it, but for…read moreme Ted's doesn't need a gimmick to draw attention. The stores inside is enough to make it a worthy destination. A mix of decades past are all represented within. From a thirties feel, to the fifties style toys, a flood of memories will overcome and almost overwhelm your thought. This alone is worth the price of admission, which of course, there is none. The only price you'll pay is maybe a few tears shed from the memory of holding your father's hand before he let you go to explore the vast array of wonders on display. Those wonders are still to be found at Ted's. The memories for your children will be sure to follow. As you wander the floor you may catch a creak from the floorboards. Or maybe a long forgotten scent of a musty box that once permeated a thought of when life was more simple and when your sole purpose was to have fun. There's plenty of cool stuff in the store today that can fulfill your want. That includes the friendly staff. They'll take the time to answer your questions and meet your need. They may even have some time to chew the fat with you. Though that time may be limited as it can get quite busy in the sporting goods game. But of course, now that you've been there, you'll be wanting to return. If only to reminice. Quick Tip: On the day I was there with my grandchildren, there was an old gentleman sitting on a bench in the foyer of the storefront. He fit right in with the ambiance. He looked like he had a lot of stories in him. I wish that we had slowed down to have a talk. Next time for sure. When the kids aren't so impatient to get to the doughnut shop.

One of the worst customer experiences I had all day at outdoor mall. When I walked in I noticed…read morethree employees behind the counter, it felt as though I was bothering them by walking in. There was no greeting, no how can we help you, no what are your looking for today, absolutely nothing. I walked to the back of the store where clearance was which happens to take right by the registers and still nothing. Took my business right out of the store.

Higher Pursuits made…read morebooking online really easy, the pricing was fair, many different options as to what type of boat you wanted for the day, and offered updates on Facebook in regards to weather/closings for the day. The location was really easy to find, once we arrived we checked in and were offered some general information about what to do and the location of changing rooms/restrooms. We were also given instructions about the route we would be floating, the vast collection of mussels we may see, and information about other wildlife we may come across, and safteg information. The launch is a quick drive from the base location. The employees were all very friendly and helpful. They got us all set up and sent us on our way. The water was shallow, but still had some nice current in places. The Duck River was extremely peaceful, and not over crowded (the spacing out between groups from Higher Pursuits helped with that greatly). Getting picked up at the end, and knowing where to stop was also made to be a breeze. Higher Pursuits runs things like a well oiled machine and really has a great system going! Between the ease of everything, the peaceful kayaking location, and the friendly customer service I could not have asked for a better experience!

The people at Blue Ridge really know their stuff. I don't claim to be a big outdoorsy type or a…read morehuge hiker, but you don't have to be to go here. They first introduced me to a winter obsession of mine - Smartwool socks. If you've never worn them, they are so wonderful and warm and addictive. They are meant for hiking, and that's what I originally bought them for, but I wear them all the time in winter now. The people at Blue Ridge will find you just what you need for your level of outdoorsiness. They are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Hate it. I've shopped at Blue Ridge stores in Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, Williamsburg,…read moreRichmond, Wintergreen and the one that used to be in Cool Springs, and this is the worst of them all hands down. I've never had staff help here that seemed anything other than them trying to make a sale. I went there today with a pair of Vasque boots whose sole cushioning had dry rotted after 3 years. The manager said there was nothing that Vasque would do, and recommended a cobbler on the West Coast who would repair them for $60. Instead I took the boots to Cumberland Transit, and 15 minutes after I had walked out of BRMS, Cumberland said no problem. All I had to do was pay $10 shipping to have them sent back to Vasque to get new soles. It also ticked me off that the lady at BRMS repeatedly said the soles had delaminated, when in fact they had dry-rotted, something I had to point out to her multiple times. In short, this is the worst BRMS store I have ever been in, and one of the worst outdoor stores in the Nashville area, which is consistent with the reviews I have heard from other outdoor buffs. I guess they stay in business catering to the Belle Meade label conscious crowd.

We did try to go earlier to buy something that was confirmed that they had but when we got there, it was clear that one of the employees had taken it for themselves as it was sitting out behind the counter . We got some BS as to why we couldn't buy what we came down there for. Anyway, this place kind of blows good luck . Don't waste your time. but please just don't lie to a customers face. We took our business elsewhere. Poof . Also, I like Billy strings OK but turn it down you're killing me

They're closing their doors due to an increase in rent and have a lot of inventory on sale. My mother was at the register paying for some things and happened to notice a large canvas painting of four bandits from Leiper's Fork. She mentioned how she's always admired it and asked if it was for sale. The lovely lady at the front, who I can only guess to be the wife of the owner said and I quote, "If you couldn't afford it back in 2018, you sure couldn't afford it now." Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Can't afford rent, closing your doors and speaking to someone like that. You can't even afford to keep your doors open! Bye! You're attitude won't be missed and we'll be sure to let all of the locals know how you treated my mom. Loser!
