If I needed the name brand stuff (boots, hiking shoes, outdoor wear, coats) I would go down to Sportsman Warehouse. I like Rec Outlet because I can get warm winter pants for cheap and same with gloves and stocking cap , long sleave shirts etc.. Just buy most stuff in bins and then on sale racks and you can get decent stuff for cheap.

I walked over to the small boot/shoe section, and low and behold- shoelaces. This place is very picked over, looks like an an unorganized garage sale, and the prices aren't much better than REI. The guy and girl behind the counter were too busy playing with their phones to help anybody. I really don't know how this place stays in business. Don't bother stopping here. Order online or go to REI instead. You will have a much better shopping experience somewhere else.

There's a great section for all your pet needs (toys, beds, food, snacks, pet care, etc) that I had no idea about! They also carry really good leather bags (boho style) for women, as well as really comfortable casual shoes - it's like a one-stop-shop for camping gear, pet needs, clothing, and shoes, among other things!

Who knows what they're telling her when she fills out the forms. They take the gun and put it away after her background check doesn't clear right away. A week goes by and she calls them. It takes twenty minutes to get someone on the phone that knows anything. The person says yes we have the gun still and your background report has not come back yet. They also tell my wife do not call back -we will call you when your background report comes in. Flash forward another week, she calls back again, and they tell her her background report is still not back. Plus, we sold your gun. It's a unique shotgun, hard to find unless you specially order it. What an epic fail. I understand background checks are not their fault, but selling her gun?! After telling her they would hold it for her?!?! Don't buy guns at cal ranch. Go to cabellas or an armory.

My husband had to call multiple times for one of the girls up at the register to come and help us with shoe sizes. Both girls on their phones, up front. Finally, one of the girls notice and starts to walk back towards us. Then a guy comes walking out of who knows where, approaching the girl and telling her she needed to stay at the back end and watch the area. Perhaps the store manager? He handled the situation very professionally and the girl stayed at the back end. I mean come on, if you have customers in your store you should NOT be on your phone unless you're on your own time, like on lunch. What a crazy generation we live in now. We finally got assisted, tried on sizes and we were ready to check out. At the register, another customer walks in and THAT person is greeted with a "welcome in". Uumm, yeah, I wasn't expecting that because we weren't greeted when both girls were taking care of a previous customer. Strange. They had sales going on and while walking around looking at the sales, they weren't too bad. I haven't shopped at a BIG 5 in over 9 years. So I'm not too sure what their prices would be like. They seemed pretty cheap compared to DICKS sporting goods and Scheels. The store is clean and organized and well maintained. They have an average amount of inventory, not a whole bunch. We needed navy blue leggings. All we saw were black, dark grey and multi-colored ones. Not a whole lot of color options to choose from. The sizes range from S-XXL and you'll be able to find the sizes needed because they're stocked up with each size between that range. Overall store quality is nice. Customer service, could be MUCH better. For me, the service is always my first impression as soon as I step into the doors. There's no time to be an unhappy or distracted retail worker. You're on the clock. It doesn't take a lot of energy to throw on a smile and greet everyone walking through the doors.

Now, we had a group discount because of an even that weekend, but it was 10%, so call it $120 for rental for two days for two people...sounds like a deal to me.

I've lived in Orem, Utah since 1987 and have been to this store less than 10 times. When I worked…read moreretail management (8 years), I used to teach the sales staff that as important as it was to make a good impression during a sale, it was more important to make an even better impression when something was being returned. That's where the staff at Park's finally turned me off of this store completely. The last time I was here was just before Father's Day, 2010. I bought a 4 person tent that was on sale. The sales staff was very helpful in assisting me with the purchase. However, when I took it back because of a defect, the assistant store manager who was on duty and took care of the exchange acted like he was doing me a huge favor and that I was imposing on his time. That left a bad taste in my mouth. That wasn't even the end. I took the new tent (WFS 732) camping and should have checked it out first before (like I did with the original tent) heading out with my sons. One of the shockcords was broken so I had to do a quick fix while we were at our campsite. After returning home, I had to go buy new elastic cord to fix the shockcord. About a month later, my son took it camping and the plastic zipper broke and so did the plastic hook that holds the rain cover to the tent. By this time, I had lost my receipt and knowing how they acted with my exchange when I had my receipt, I figure why even bother. To anyone from Park's who may end up reading this, know that you lost a customer when you blew it on the exchange. Take a lesson from the folks at Nordstrom.

I had no intention of stopping in today, but thought what the heck I'll just look around and see what they have at the outlet store. Maybe they have something for my trip that is coming up. They were having a sale so Yes! of course I bought some new trail shoes. I only wear hiking boots when I hike, but thought I would give their shoes a try, especially since it's been so hot, my feet sweat in my boots. Salesman was very helpful guiding me to the pair of trail runners I bought. He was very knowledgeable about the different "type" of shoes. I had on my own New Balance shoes, and he explained the construction behind them. Oh so that's why I like them, and they are so comfortable on my feet! He said never to put your shoes in the washer, and to use a cleaning solutions instead. They had some there so I bought some. Note: he never pressured me into buying the cleaner, he said any cleaner would do. Now the test is... can the shoes at the outlet vs the shoes at a regular store pass my new balance comfort test. We shall see.

However, the impression the staff left me had changed my views on salesman and how my shopping experience can be different. I had a 5-star experience with Brett and I'm so glad he approached me. Brett genuinely asked me a few questions to understand what I was looking for in shoes. I had a general idea of what shoes I wanted and I preferred to try them on on my own. I even told him that I wasn't sure if New Balance was the right place. I was not only wrong, but Brett understood exactly what to suggest based on my answers. My foot size was remeasured as part of the fitting process. To my surprise, I was also wrong about my shoe size and it was confirmed by trying on 4 different pairs of shoes. (Professional fit: shoe fitting in the morning is the most accurate - this is important for people with diabetes to find the right fit). With Brett's help, I made educated decisions, which is what I look for when I help others, too. Brett was genuine, patient, gentle, professional, knowledgeable, caring, and not pushy at all. As an observant person and someone who has experience interviewing candidates in the past, I'm confident to say he is capable of helping all ages of customers. From looking up Hoka online to checking out New Balance at Outlets, here are my wins: - Tried out the 1080 v14 (I genuinely think everyone should have a pair of these) - Know what my updated shoe size is - Got the best deal with current discounts, clearance, and BOGO 50% off (staff can help you look up which pair of shoes are on clearance and order them for you if the color isn't in store) New Balance provides shoes with fresh foam comfort, wide toe box, and arch support - everything I look for in a pair of shoes from everyday wear to running (plus the discount benefit at outlet). I ended up not getting in and out quick at all, but my visit was wonderful because I let Brett help me. I was impressed by the service provided here.
