There was wayyy too much stuff for the space and it ended up feeling very claustrophobic in here…read moreand unorganized. I was stepping over stuff on the floor and brushing against hanging clothes. A lot of the clothes were also in bags, and I'm not sure how people would know what they're looking at without fully unwrapping them which seemed impossible in the space. It ended up feeling really junky and I got out of here as soon as possible. It would work for them if they cleaned up a ton, displayed their clothes differently, and put away about half of the stuff out.

If I could give this less than 1 star....went in browsing and at first was greeted by owner. My son…read morefound a north face zip that he liked and wanted to try on. Owner pointed out it was a women's item (which at first as being helpful) and when we asked if there was a mens version and he said no and then a bizarre interaction ensued. Basically the owner got AGGRESIVE insisting that MEN don't buy WOMENS clothes (um, what) also it's a black zip up so...zip it. His ridicule of my 16 year old escalated and as we decided to leave and not give any $$$ to this man (who started out cranky but legit is mentally unwell and possibly dangerous), he started approaching us to the point that I put myself between him and my daughter. We felt threatened and unsafe and needless to say wouldn't return if our lives depended on it. How this biz is still open is an utter shock. Clearly Ithaca isn't the community I thought it was to allow this place to stick around.

The Shops at Ithaca Mall are one of the few shopping destinations around the area.

The mall seems to have a variety of stores but wasn't too busy on a weekday afternoon. The location off the main road is convenient. It does seem a little older/run down, and there are some open shops available.

I have been an REI member for nearly two decades. Though most of my experiences have been at their…read moreflagship stores whist residing in CO and WA, I've lived back east for a few years. Normally, I'd just order what I need and have it shipped. Today was something different. Loaded up the family and drove 90 minutes to go to the store in Ithaca. I was surprised that they had a tiny selection of paddling gear. The staff was unfriendly and inattentive at best, and the gentleman at the register had the personality of a wet fart. They expended zero you know whats to even acknowledge a customer. There's plenty of room for improvement. While I'm not done with REI, I'm good if I never go back to this location.

Love REI and was anxious to see the new store in Ithaca that had opened…read more I was disappointed. It has the same high quality products but seems very small and short in inventory compared to the REI stores I've been to elsewhere. What really blows my mind is this is in ITHACA whose signature activity is hiking AND SENECA LAKE and they have no kayaks or paddle boards or really anything related to water activities. I was absolutely shocked as I wanted to look at some of those items and there is nothing here. Dick's sporting goods in godforsaken Binghamton has more water activity items than REI. I truly hope this is a temporary issue they will rectify. Huge disappointment.

I emailed Steve and he took a look the next day and fixed everything free of charge. Now that's service. Old Goat Gear Exchange is a quaint shop right off the commons that sells new and used bikes and all the outdoor gear you could ever need! They also sell used items (for great deals) on consignment. Steve gets to know his customers, and when I walk in, he greets me by name with a smile on his face. Quarantine got you down? Old Goat still has bikes, despite the nationwide shortage. I've never felt more welcome at a local bike shop than at Old Goat Gear Exchange and will continue to bring my bikes in for service. I will likely purchase some other doodads to support a great resource in our community.

Wow, I can't believe I'm the first one to write a review for this store. This store sells used &…read morenew outdoor gears and the staff here are very friendly and helpful. I've bought snowboots (used), gaiter (used), ski poles (used), and other things here. Reasonably priced! I love it! When you fail finding gears you need at ReUse Center, this is the place to check. Definitely consider stopping by before buying anything new from box stores like EMS. If you really need new stuff, you can also check the outdoor store on Commons .. keep your money working for the local economy!
