I go up to the cashier and I never been so disappointed in my life. The female cashier told the guy who helped me literally in front of me that she didnt care about the military and didnt give me the 10 percent discount. He was pretty upset. If it wasnt for my mother standing next to me I Would have cussed her the f#@! Out in front of everyone. I been deployed 8 times. For this to happen its incredibly hurtful.

This place is worth the drive. Some of the brands that they carry (in no particular order, these…read moreare the ones I was able to write down as we surveyed their store): Red Wing, Merrell, Keen, Sperry, CAT, Rocky, Ariat, Chippewa, Danner, Carolina, Lacrosse, Columbia, North Face, Muck, Twisted X, Under Armour, Stormy Kromer. This is the largest selection of boots I have seen anywhere! Work boots, cowboy boots, rubber barn boots, waders, hiking boots, fashion boots. They had a lot of clothing options too. Wrangler, Ariat are both there, as well as many other jean brands to select from. They have plenty of sizes in stock as well. The salesman we talked to initially (when my husband was originally looking for work boots, but then decided he didn't need any) was super helpful, and guided our selection process. Steel toe and non-steel toe brands. I was able to purchase Ariat jeans for my husband, an off-brand Carhartt-type coat for my 11 year old son, and a t shirt for my 6 year old daughter. If you're waffling between brands of boots, I'd stop here. They had most (if not all) of each brand's lines of product.

I don't have the requisite attention span for any of those auction firearm sites, either, so I was starting to feel like I might be shiitake out of luck. But then, a google search while I was waiting at the laundromat revealed that Vance Outdoors had my model in stock! There was even a cursory guide to buying firearms via the Internet on the site itself, which was extremely helpful as I had never purchased a firearm before. Due to my general incompetence, I was still a bit confused. I called the Online Help number listed on the site. Usually when I call a store like this, I'm on hold for at least 10 minutes and there are about 5 "Let me transfer you"s. Not so with Vance Outdoor! They picked up on the second ring and got me to the right department within a minute. Having worked retail before, I am able to appreciate how insanely fast that is. Hot damn, Vance Outdoor! Greg from the internet team is phenomenal. He was able to answer all of my questions concerning the FFL transfer and give me some helpful tips about my purchase. He even followed up via email after my FFL got sent to the store. The whole transaction was quick and painless. I wish they had a location in my state :C

Stopped in here to find some stuff for the upcoming camping season…read more Exterior: it is a good sized building set pretty far back from the main road. There is a sign by the main road, but you have to be on the lookout for it as you might go right past it (traffic can be heavy and moves quickly along this stretch of road). There isn't a huge amount of parking here, but I've never seen a tremendous number of cars in the parking lot so parking isn't a problem. The grounds are clean and presentable. Interior: this place is packed with inventory! There are no signs for the different sections, but wandering through is fun if you come here. The "aisles" are large enough to move through comfortably, though too many people in a given section might get crowded. Staff: the associates are great! I have always been greeted upon arrival and they are quick to assist customers when trying to find a specific product. They are very polite, professional, and courteous. Product: as I mentioned earlier, this store has lots of inventory! Boots, clothing, packs, tactical gear, knives, patches, camping accessories, and the list goes on. There are so many items here you may discover things you didn't expect! I have found many of the items are priced far lower than mainline stores with the same products. I prefer to come here first to see if they have the item(s) I seek so I can save some money. All the product I purchase has been of very good quality to exceptional quality and has lasted far longer than items I've found in mainline stores (after all, must of it is military surplus). Overall, this is a great store to find a huge selection of items, some of which might be hard to find. The staff is wonderful and the products are less expensive, but of better quality.

The customer service, knowledge and patience I received from Emily, Dan and Will was unparalleled. I purchased a Surly Karate Monkey hardtail, which was my first mountain bike. I had done considerable research, but many questions remained. Sizing was my first concern. Emily brought out her own Karate Monkey, which confirmed the correct size for me; and because I had decided to upgrade the tires, Dan and Will spent considerable time helping me choose which tires would be best for both front and rear. Once the bike arrived, Dan assured a proper fit. He also made certain my compression front fork was adjusted properly and that I understood how to experiment with various settings to maximize its benefit. The folks at Paradise Garage make the experience of buying a new bicycle comfortable, enlightening and fun, as it should be.

I always buy what they suggest. They have never steered me in the wrong direction yet.
