This makes sense because they are located right on Broadway in the middle of Yale University. The focus here is the great outdoors and clothing for active living. Mark who works on the second floor helped me find the right pair of boots first by measuring my foot and then finding a couple of sizes to make sure they are comfortable.

The store is essentially two floors with men's footwear on the first and women's footwear on the second. The second floor had both men and women clothing. Great deals on everything with plenty of options. I loved the set up and more importantly the customer service provided. The young man who assisted us was very patient and knowledgeable about the brand and helped us make our decision when it came to which boot to get. I will definitely be back. Another thing we liked was that their boots are all American made.

You can become a member for free, and you get money back and coupons. There were already some Black Friday deals out. They had a sign that you can rent stuff too. Great store!

Sarah and Emma delivered some of the absolute best customer service I've experienced. Indian River…read moreMarina & Kayak is family-owned, and you can immediately tell that these two know their stuff! My friends and I drove all the way from Long Island, NY, to Clinton, CT, specifically to demo kayaks and I would absolutely make the drive again. I mean we drove over 2 hours! I recently picked up kayaking as a new hobby and am now apparently at risk of becoming a kayak hoarder. I wanted to test the Perception Carolina 12.0 and 14.0, while my friends were interested in trying Eddyline and Stellar kayaks. Sarah and Emma helped us get in and out of the kayaks, made sure we were properly geared up with our life jackets, and answered every question we threw at them. We were able to paddle out on the river and toward the bay, which gave us an opportunity to actually see how the different kayaks handled on the water. I specifically wanted something that could handle choppier conditions in the bay and, eventually, cross the Long Island Sound so we can avoid paying the tolls. (I'm kidding. Please don't do that based on this Yelp review.) One thing I really appreciated was that they didn't just try to sell us whatever we initially had in mind. When I asked about a Wilderness Systems kayak, they encouraged me to actually sit in the cockpit and see how it felt. I'm glad I listened because I realized I didn't love the cockpit nearly as much as the Perception. Being able to compare everything in person and then actually take the kayaks onto the water made a HUGE difference. I also couldn't decide whether I preferred the Carolina 12.0 or the 14.0, and at no point did I feel pressured to make a purchase or choose a kayak before I was ready. Sarah and Emma were completely fine with us taking our time, testing different options, asking questions, and going home to think everything over. I really appreciated that. When you're making an investment in something like a kayak, it's nice to be able to make an informed decision without feeling like someone is trying to close a sale. Then Sarah told us that Stellar kayaks can be customized with different color combinations, and that opened an entirely new can of worms. We went there trying to decide which kayaks we wanted and left trying to design the prettiest kayaks possible before placing our orders. Sarah took our information, explained the payment options available to us and how the process would work, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Once we finally stop changing our minds about our color schemes, Sarah will be getting a phone call from us ASAP! While we were demoing, I also saw other customers coming in to rent kayaks, and I thought the rental prices were very reasonable. They offer both new and used kayaks for sale, along with rentals, and there's a showroom where you can take a closer look at the different boats. Another detail that really stood out to me was how well they cared for their equipment. After each kayak was returned, Sarah and Emma cleaned and dried it right away. Even the rental kayaks looked well cared for. That kind of attention to detail says a lot about how a business is run. For anyone planning to visit, there is plenty of parking, and they also have a clean changing room available. If you're planning to demo or rent, bring water shoes, a towel, and probably a change of clothes especially if you're anything like me and somehow manage to get soaked. Sarah and Emma were friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly generous with their time. We had such a great experience that the two-hour drive didn't bother me at all. Even if I lived farther away, I would still make the trip because customer service like this is worth traveling for. Now we just need to figure out our kayak colors...and apparently I need to figure out whether I'm Team Carolina 12.0 or Team Carolina 14.0. I can't wait for our next trip to Clinton and will absolutely be returning to Indian River Marina & Kayak. Whether you're looking to rent, demo, buy your first kayak, or accidentally start a kayak collection like me, stop by and check them out. I highly recommend them!

(Everyone else working was really nice) At 2:00pm, a man working towards the back of the store, wearing a gray sweater, tall, shorthair, made a fantastic observation and saw we had already purchased a few items since he saw our 3 shopping bags. He overhears me and my husband but clearly wasn't listening to what we were saying, he then interrupts us and tells us that a discount is only able to be used once per day, something along those lines, he said it was a healthcare discount, not sure, so I asked him what that was since I did not know why he was saying this to us. My husband thought he had meant, were not able to shop more than once due to covid, but then the employee, said the discount at the register that's given to families is only able to be used once. He assumed we used a discount, he said usually when he sees people with a lot of bags, they usually use a discount so he was just letting us know. Just because we're Hispanic and we had more bags than he can possibly afford, he ASSUMED we can't afford items at normal price. Not only did this conversation happen, but as my husband was initially trying on jackets, this same employee SAW MY HUSBAND, and pushed him while trying to fit in between him and the jackets and said excuse me afterwards... he then came back from behind my husband AND PUSHED HIM AGAIN!!! He could've went around, he touched him, and during these times, you would think the employee would try to avoid customers due to COVID. ITS THE GOD DAMN HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE IS BUYING MORE THAN NORMAL!! Well, we left without buying my son the jacket we were looking at, they obviously don't want my Latino money. ‍ North Face, please teach your employees to mind their god damn business unless someone is asking for their opinion. This is how they end up getting recorded and put on the news... from not minding their business.

It can't be busy on a Tuesday. So I wait and expect a fairly quick pick up email. I ordered a standard black north face backpack. That should be super fast. I run errands and still no email. I go to the store and go and buy it anyway. There are three/four people working on the floor and two customers. Come on really no one could have done my online pickup. So I get to the register and finally someone interacts with me. I told them I wanted to cancel my online order bc no one bothered filling it for me. She's like oh. She had no idea how to even log in to the order pickup system. I'm like I just want to purchase it right now mad cancel my order. Another girl has comes to try and help and doesn't know how they can cancel it. Mind you I'm in a rush and that's why I did an online order. I proceed to make my purchase and the lady takes my name and number to call and tell me when my order was canceled. Never happened. Bottom line is don't offer a service if no associate even bothers to check it. I did an online order at Best Buy the same day and my order was ready in 10 minutes. So disappointed in this store. I usually buy north face from a different store but I'm done with this brand. This experience left such a bad feeling for this brand which my family loves. Since I do most of the shopping no one is getting anymore north face.
