My closet isn't filled to the brim with L.L.Bean- but I do like their casual look of their clothes. The few pieces I've purchased throughout the years are neutral enough I can easily add on to my own personal style. Plus L.L. doesn't mess around with their fabric. The clothes are crisp- especially the women's button downs and women's blazers that have clean lines and are perfectly tailored - but carefree where I can funktify the look. This L.L. is super spacious with women's, men's, doggy attire, a small bedding section and of course, items for the avid fisher person. Help is everywhere here and you will not go unnoticed. The smiles and the willingness to help if you have a question or look for an item, is genuine. L.L.'s sheets and clothing I own are worth every dollar.

This is an actual sole proprietorship in a workd of chain stores, so there's quirky parts to it.

Hi Steven P or Management,…read more The individual working at the store today is unbelievably rude - no sense of customer service - walked in never looked up from his cellphone to acknowledge anyone. I was looking at a sweater didn't see my size - I continued to carry on in the store because I genuinely love it. Today the back room was covered in open boxes making it very difficult to shop regardless I found a stack of the sweaters (the one I was looking for). The guy working proceeded to yell at me stating they were all out. I said I'm looking for the grey sweater in a large - to which he replied "we don't have grey". I pointed at the stack and I know I'm not color blind but maybe he is, so I said that's grey. He pulled the sweater out and throws it at me! Yes throws it! He was mad he had to get off his seat, his phone and actually work. I put everything down my family and I walked out! Individual working on Thursday 7/27! As a business owner I would like to know how my employees are interacting with customers. This unfortunate situation just pushed me out, I'll take my business somewhere else

For quite some time, I used to come here with a friend or by myself, pick up a complementary map of Kennedy Park, and go for a little hike. The entrance to the park is right at the store's parking lot, which makes it especially convenient. The map shows the different trails throughout the park, and I would choose one and enjoy a leisurely hike. A nice lady warmly greeted me when I walked in. I browsed around the store for a while but didn't end up purchasing anything this time. I did notice their wonderful selection of hiking shoes displayed along the back wall, which caught my attention. Over the years, I've purchased quite a few items from this store, so it was nice to return and browse once again. It was wonderful to revisit a place that brought back such pleasant memories of those hikes, as well as some enjoyable shopping experiences over the years.

I came in to drop off my snowboard for repair and after looking it over the next day, they told me the honest truth that it was a bit too of a complex repair for them to trust that it was stick long term. They suggested for the price it would cost to make it perfect, given the year of the board (2017), I'd be better off getting a new board and pocketing the difference. I appreciated how up front they were and headed their advice! I'll be running the board through it's final paces this season and getting a new one come spring. Even beyond repairs, this shop has it all. From kayaks to climbing gear, skis to paddle boards, they've got everything you need to enjoy the outdoors for all four seasons.

If top-notch specialty run product selection is what you're after, this is the place for you. But wait, there's more... The service here is phenomenal. For those unfamiliar, FFS has a few tools at their disposal to help find the "right" shoe for you. This includes 3D foot scanning and gait analysis via video recording and slow motion playback. I was assisted by Jill who was very knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and efficient. I was super impressed with how a "history" was taken first (i.e. running background, injury and shoe history, current shoe wear pattern, etc.). Of course, the anthropometric data from the 3D scanning was interesting but I really feel as if I've developed an intuition for how it should be used to inform the shoe selection process from this experience as well. I also really liked being able to take part in the gait analysis. This is something I tried to do by myself in the past but nothing is quite as awkward or seemingly narcissistic as trying to take a slow motion video recording of your own legs at the gym. Yikes. To be clear, it's not simply the technologies themselves but rather the thoughtful integration of these technologies and data into the shoe selection process by highly adept staff and the sharing of this expertise that makes this place exceptional and pretty much inimitable. This is the single greatest point of differentiation between FFS and competitors; it's the reason I now refuse shop elsewhere for trainers. Highly recommended.

While I was looking around there was a customer running on a treadmill trying out running shoes, before making a purchase. The staff seems more knowledgeable about shoes, orthotics, foot anatomy, and how to fit shoes, than most shoe stores do nowadays. I should have asked if anyone had taken the test for to be a certified pedorthist? No matter now. Although, I didn't find what I was looking for; what impressed me the most is there was no "hard" sell tactics or being brushed off because i wasn't buying shoes that day. I will keep them in mind if someone I know is looking for proper chasseur (shoes). = )
