On a recommendation from our super nice server at The Open Oven restaurant, we stopped in to Take a Hike to grad a pair from him. We we happy to see that they allow pets/dogs in the store so that one of us wasn't stuck in the car with the pups. The store has tons of great clothes, shoes, socks and other supplies you might want for hiking. Big names like Prana, North Face, Patagonia etc. He got a pair of shorts from the clearance section and I found a handy Kavu sling purse. Win-win

Great local outdoor store. Love shopping local and how chill this place is…read more Upon entering, staff always greet you. Small town feels. There is typically plenty of parking in the lot or nearby. Standard small town hours. The shop is clean and organized. They have a good sampling of outdoor gear. Lots of seasonal clothing, some camping gear and backpacks and some Knick knacks such as hydration tabs and stickers. There is a sale rack in back. Everything is very pricy as goes with outdoor gear shops especially small ones. I would still argue that it's pretty similar to the standard- not more expensive than REI or the like. I'd definitely recommend this place for a stop in. They have a nice curated selection. Plus it's always the season for a fun new outdoor toy to inspire you to get outside ;)

First off I would like to say that I'm a long time customer to Hopey. I like this place but…read morerecently they have been allowing a man to sit outside the store and ask for money. That would be fine with me if he didn't have a PITBULL. They are letting him sit out there everyday and he holds the pitbull by the collar, the dog is not on a leash. The dog is not chained to anything, he just holds it by the collar. I love animals but I don't think this is ok for a business to allow this to happen. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen. I won't be going back in until the dog is gone, I should not have to risk getting bit to go get discounted groceries.

This is a great store with it's selection and cleanliness, but there are several areas that are in…read moreneed of training. On separate occasions over this past week, the following has occurred: 1) When asking the customer service counter to check lottery tickets, the young male said it was outside his pay grade and referred someone to else. 2) While checking out, the young girl behind the customer service counter was sneaking puffing on her vape. Just before that, a manager was stocking the candy section at the register without saying anything only for me to have bumped into it and excusing myself. He probably should have waited for customers not to be at a register or at least acknowledged he was there. 3) Asked two people at the deli if they had banana pudding and they said they were out, only to find out they had an entire pan and a half as I walked further down. 4) If you don't have an Ingles card, the cashier didn't even know to ask the customer if they would like one to register. These are 100% a store manager issue and easy things to correct. As of now, it's chaos.

They also have pottery and a ton of pretty handmade jewelry. You can find some snacks and soaps here as well as the occasional card and or print. They also have some nice leather bags.

Ingles is everywhere in the western NC area. In fact, it's very difficult to find any other grocery…read morestore. This leads to minimal competition resulting in mediocre products. For example their produce is typically flavorless and spoiled a day or two after you get it home. Yes, the stores are large, the employees are very nice but their brands typically dominate the shelves instead of nationally known brands. So, again, little chance to get anything but what they want you to have. With a 20 minute drive those of us who can, leave Ingles behind instead going to Harris Teeter, Whole Foods, Trader Joes or Fresh Market, all of which are infinitely better.
