I don't know about the Sherwood location, but trust what these other reviews are saying about the…read moreBeaverton location. The staff is unbelievably rude.

I will start by saying that this review is for the Sherwood location…read more Very important backstory for contrast. The Beaverton location is rough. It's very small and I think they have a lot on their plates over there. I had so many rude interactions at that location that I was worried that I was going to have to do all of my hockey shopping online. I bought shin guards there for about $100 and a Bauer hockey helmet for about $180. I was grateful for the shred of time that the helmet guy offered to me, he genuinely crammed me in while it was busy so he gets 5 stars. My goal was to slowly accumulate enough gear to play some hockey. I originally wanted to play roller hockey and had invested in most of the gear. I even have Marsblade R1 elite level skates and I practice multiple times per week. I was about to sign up for roller hockey at Indoor Goals when I found out that they are closing. So... I decided ok fine, I'll make the best of it. Ice hockey it is, I've wanted to do this for 20 years. So, I found some used skates that were in awesome shape and decided that I'd get a Superfeet hockey footbed, some new laces, some new rivets to replace the rusty ones, and a skate sharpening. Back in the day, they were pro level skates that retailed for about $600. They are old Nike Bauers that look sweet in a vintage way and I figured they could handle a few sessions of ice while I saved up for real skates. The guys at the Beaverton shop seemed like they were absolutely disgusted at my skates, one guy with longer dark hair actually rolled his eyes at me and practically barked at me for the rest of the interaction. I shrugged it off. I needed them sharpened and the nearest rink (Sherwood) was 30 minutes away. He growled at me that I'd have to leave them overnight. Cool, no problem. I came back the next day, and this shorter guy with a buzz cut at the counter kind of spat the words "why do you want these rerivited?" I said because they were rusty, and I just want to get started with some beer league hockey and can't afford a lot right now. He chastised me for wanting them to be rerivited and then also told me that I needed to buy new holders because my holders would "shatter the moment they came into contact with ice." He then sort of smugly said that I would have to wait another day to have them sharpened. The whole interaction was so awful (again) that I went out to my car to decide what to do. I wanted to cry out of frustration because I am so sick of this town and of how few resources there are for the sports that I love. Right then and there I decided that I was going to march back into that hockey shop and get my skates back and drive 30 minutes down to Sherwood. Even though the same company owns both of these shops, the difference is night and day. A guy with a beard at the Sherwood store was so stinkin helpful and awesome that I ended up spending $300 on the sharpening, hockey pants, a chest protector, a green biscuit, a towel, practice Jersey, and I even bought new gloves to replace my other ones that are falling apart. He was just incredible. Absolutely 5 stars. Because of him I feel like I have a pro shop that I can go to. I was so genuinely upset that the two places to get hockey stuff by my house are so awful that I was really questioning if I should just not play hockey at all. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan-- hockey town. I always thought hockey people were humble and welcoming. That was my experience growing up. The guys in my class would beg me to play with them. They were amazing. Now decades later, as an adult, I almost thought I'd made a huge mistake picking hockey. If I have to battle my way through a bunch of elitist snobs to do something I love, If every interaction is a fight, if places are closing down, if the outdoor hockey rink in Beaverton is cracking up and has no nets, maybe I should just call it and just go to the gym. But thanks to that awesome dude at the Sherwood ice arena, I am stoked to keep at it and maybe finally get some real playing time! Thanks dude !!! I appreciate you so much! PS The selection at the Sherwood location is great.

Great price on 9mm ammo as usual. Not everything is a screaming deal, but if you're looking for…read moreammo, this is the place to buy it.

I will not be buying my Rifles there, I will not come back to the store. I have been going there…read morefor years, since I was a kid. I'm 40 now, and decided for the first time to buy my rugger 10/22 there. I was thinking, yes, I am glad that I spent my money there than other places that I could have made the purchase. on the tenth day, I realized my rifle was ready for pick up. I'm in the Navy Reserves now. 18 years in. I called in, because I did not receive the email to pick up my rifle. The employee working said he can see that my rifle was approved. But he cannot release it to me because he is from another store. I was confused. Why would they have someone there, who cannot sale or have access to realeased approved rifles/guns. I Went to drille and was drained, but wanted to pick up my rifle, and was on my way there, but I got out late, but the store does not close for 15 minutes. When I called, the manager Tanner Tarkington said, "Don't come in!" I was surprised, and questioned him, is that how you talk to customers. He took it back, and then wanted to know if I can make it in time. I told him I can, but since he acted that way, then I won't come in. I was not abne to come in on Sunday after Navy Drill. Monday I was not able to due to my kids sports. I finally walked in today, only to find out again, they cannot release me the rifle, because no one is working that can. They said one guy got injured on an ATV, and one guy called out. I was so upset. I said, I hope the guy is ok, and gets better, but I explained, that I have not able to get my rifle the same thing. I went to the front and explained my self to the lady and the manager Tanner Tarkington. Tanner, said what do you want me to do? I said, the only I have not been able to get my rifle has been due to him and his employees, and how I frustrated to trust, that I made the "Right" decision to make the purchase there. To tell people to go there and support our local Bi-Mart. I asked him, that I'm really upset and asked if he could do anything. He had no idea written on his face. And then he said, "What, do you want a freebeee? I am not able to just give you a freebee." I was so upset, that he said that to me. I told him, that its not a freebee, its compensation for being a loyal customer and all my troubles that I have gone through. Also for a Manager to just rudely say that to me, made me so upset that I got his name and card, with the Main manager "that is unavailable for two days" Mike Colbo." This store number is #648. The lady at the front was nice, and I did tried to call Mike, but got her again. I asked her, "how would you feel if you have had a terrible experience at a store, you want to talk to a manager, and the manager tells you that, about just wanting a freebee. Instead of acknowledging my issues sincerely, instead of saying what he said?" she explain, no, I would be really upset as well. He said he would not be able to help me. And I said I wont be buying from them, and I will letting everyone Know My Experience, and how Bi-Mart does not care for their customerse maybe they save what, 10 percent off a next purchase, or hundreds of my dollars, plus my family, my friends, military members, and so on, to not go to a place, where they do not value their customers.
