The owner is very nice & is a hiker himself, so he'll help you pick out what you need and answer any questions you may have. He took the time to get us both fitted even though it was technically after hours. Turns out he had been on the same hike we had planned and gave us some good tips. The store isn't huge, but he packs a lot in there. Overall, great service & a nice place to walk around and drool over the merchandise.

You'd think a store staffed primarily by women would understand when a customer is indecisive, especially a woman running on no sleep because of a teething toddler, but instead of leaving their post behind the counter - all 5 employees, by the way - they stood there until she entered the dressing room and then called the police. When she emerged from the fitting room, there he was, plain clothes, badge front and center, making it as uncomfortable for her to browse as possible. Even after she was ready, or shamed into, making her purchase (which I'm returning this morning) the cop still circled close by, like a vulture. DESPITE this, she bought her shirt and pullover and didn't tell me any of this until late last night. Back to me toddler for a moment, two days ago (we've been here 3 times in 3 days) our child was running around, not hurting anything or making a mess but apparently that's just too much for such a stoic, reserved store as Alabama Outdoors. The feeling of contempt was palpable so, parents, don't bring your children. That game of Peek-a-boo behind the rack of pullovers is uncalled for per the rules of this subpar store. Spend your money at more deserving places like Red Beard's or go across the Bay to Coastal Outfitters, where at least if you can't make up your mind, they'll offer to help instead of having a cop harass you until you leave. It's inexcusable. We've shopped there since they opened, stopping only after our daughter was born because we were focused on more important things. This Christmas marks the first time since she was born that we really went out as a family, excited to see her reaction to the decorations and people in general. Yesterday, everyone we saw at the Eastern Shore Center was polite and happy. Our daughter was waving and talking to anyone that would acknowledge her, something Alabama Outdoors seemed pained to do, so it's not us in the wrong in this scenario. It's their complete failure at being polite. Maybe we're just not their target audience...but who is? 20-something yuppies who's only true outdoor excursions involve drinking on patios? Asking because, again, we've never been treated so poorly at Red Beard's or Coastal. This is the only reason I'm returning the shoes I bought and the stuff she bought - a complete disregard for customer service. Remember this: you work there. We shop there. You exist because we allow you to exist but unless you learn how to properly treat customers you will be nothing but a showroom for Amazon.

One of the associates drove me crazy, talking loudly and following me around. I think her name was Jan or Janice? Why would I want to shop in a store like that? I also noticed their inventory looked old, is this an outlet store? Maybe shopping on the store's website would be better. I won't go back unless I know that Jan isn't there. I need space to look around. Shopping should be relaxing.

Dicks seemed to be the smaller sports items like clothing and shoes, but also big items, and the Field and Stream side had kayaks, tents, and other big items, but also clothing, so it was a bit confusing. In any case, we found the fishing net we needed and mosied around trying to decide if we needed more stuff to stack in our garage. Turns out we did need more socks. The prices in both stores were high, but hey, when you need socks, you need socks. Amazon and Walmart had everything I needed at a much lower price, but I felt like throwing money away. The store (s) were/was very clean but too big. We only saw two people working, and both were in the giant stores trying to check out a long line of folks. Ideally, you would only shop here for specialty items that you cannot find elsewhere. If that is your situation by all means go here, no one will bother you while you shop,

Joe in the shoe department always gets me the right shoe on the first try, and takes into account my plantar fasciitis and other foot issues I have had over the years.

I get to handle the guns, if I want to try out the grip, sights, or the trigger. They have provided me with more than a few shotguns, rifles, and pistols over the years, and all have been good choices at competitive prices. I highly recommend McCoy's.

Obviously…read morethey sell more SEC gear than anything but they have tons of professional sports jerseys, accessories, etc. The best part of my visit was Bear (the owners black lab). Bear followed us around the store showing us his favorite things - which as you may have guessed by his name, it was all Crimson Tide gear! Bear was so pleasant and his owner was just as kind. Very very helpful. If he doesn't own the store, he sure treats it like his own which is everything you'd want in an employee. I ended up buying some new gear for my dad for Father's Day. A hat and a shirt ran me about $80. I thought that was steep but unless there's a coupon or sale offered online, you'll pay the same. We'd also like to support small businesses anyways so this was a no brainer purchase. Great variety and many things I've never seen before that I'd love to have. I'll definitely make sure to visit The Vault for my game day apparel next time I'm in Mobile.
