Ninety minutes before I had to check for my flight, I visited the Park Road store with my empty roller bag. The store had good selections and Caroline, my favorite staffer, stepped up to work her magic . After an intensive hour of sorting options, I had a stellar collection of nicely fitting gear from head to toe. Our selections worked great for my winter trip and I'm still enjoying my gear. Heartfelt kudos to Caroline and the entire team at Great Outdoor Provisions. I can't imagine any other place in Charlotte where pro staff would gear me up with humor and brisk purpose. Thanks for making my crazy shopping surge, fast, fun, friendly and laser focused. With warm appreciation, Lee

I visited with no intent to actually purchase ski boots, I simply wanted to try them on and gather some more information. That escalated quickly! David was extremely knowledgeable and professionally present all my options. After trying on a few pair and listening to the pros/cons of each I decided to pull the trigger. Also based on David's recommendation I picked up a pair of super thin, smart wool socks. Lastly I also found a new Spyder cap. Happy to report I am extremely happy about all 3 purchases. We skied Sugar Mountain all day yesterday and the boots, socks and cap were perfect! Thanks again David!

There is a lady inside the store who does taxes and also officiates weddings. They have a jewelry section inside. They sell 14k gold jewelry but not a lot of silver. I can here to look for a 1st Communion outfit for my son, and we were able to find a whole white suit and shoes 4 days before the communion. I definitely recommend this location more than others as this location has a lot more variety than other dress locations. This one has a variety of clothes options for boys and males. They have a huge open parking lot, which is always a plus. It is on the busier side of Central Ave, so it can be a little hectic.

Part 2 of 8/2 review...by repeated request;-)…read more So....ever so slowly the screaming Hellish pain ebbed and I was able to hobble out the door (with assistance from kind S & SS employees). I could see in too far distance Charlotte Running Company where I met another saint and fellow Brad: https://www.charlotterunning.com/brad He refused payment when he called me an Uber to the hospital. His words were more than just sympathetic, but empathetic as he told me the tales - what would later be diagnosed in my case - broke his clavicle 3 times! Upon days later getting the super pain pills from CVS (too painful to leave the house + waking a few times from a drug-induced haze after the pharmacy had closed, + it being a Sunday once) I thankfully returned to CRC and S & SS with flowers, herbs, and vegetables from Nut Hill Farm - where I help a 70+ year-old brother-in-Christ Jim Mundorf. As I was telling the bigger and better Brad just yesterday, it was my most painful injury only to be outdone possibly by when I fell on a barbed wire fence while climbing a tree - at the wise age of 10- & grabbed the wrong branch (I knew it seconds before). Gratefully, the next-door neighbor (Ms. Rutledge, R.N. Ret.) heard my wails, cries, and screams and pulled my of the fence i was hanging from. Wanna see the scar:-!

This store in the Charlotte Premium Outlets was not really an outlet, nor was it premium, although the idea of a Jimmy Choo/Hot Topic collaboration would be pretty sweet. This was your run of the mill normal Hot Topic store with an entrance from the outside vs. the inside. The woman working the store was super helpful and directed me to the areas of the store where I might like some items. I inquired about a certain band shirt and they were low in stock, but she looked online to see if they had anything there. They always had a good selection of those little plastic figures from bands and pop culture and anime. Great store as always and excellent service. Don't let they way the employees look and dress scare you. They're all just people like us.
