I've bought family members golf gear, myself a punching bag and boxing gloves, clothes, and sneakers. This particular one is located in the Shops of Farmington in Canton, CT; there's plenty of parking. The store was huge and organized. The employees were friendly; they asked me if I needed help with anything when I first walked in. Overall, a nice store with tons of sporting goods to choose from.

This is an actual sole proprietorship in a workd of chain stores, so there's quirky parts to it. But I always find something really cool here and have really interesting conversations with the owner Steven. It feels really good to go into a store, which is actually curated by somebody who's had a lifetime of running retail, so it's not all pre-programmed generic, but filled with interesting things in every little corner.

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

My only hang up with this store, which may not necessarily be their fault, is it is expensive. They do have a great selection of canoes and yaks. They also do rentals on some items so it's nice to be able to try things out before you buy.

Complete selection of Thule and Yakima racks. Also, great selection of outdoor/mountain clothing, footwear, books, and hardware for cooking and climbing. No bicycle stuff, but that's pretty well covered by other stores in the Amherst/Northampton/Hadley area. Prices are normal, not super discount and not like a boutique shop either. We bought two kayaks there and they were good with the price. Been back many times. I prefer them over EMS because the have a bigger selection, and because when you buy there you're supporting a local business instead of a national chain.

Honestly, so many stores carry this kind of merchandise now I'm a little surprised this one can endure. All in all a good store but not really delivering anything different than the very nearby Dick's Sporting Goods or the local Sam's Outdoor Outfitters. I do like some of their online deals though. I didn't find them in the brick & mortar.

They have some great deals for students as well as for rewards members, I have had great experiences with the entire staff. Dan and Ian have both went above and beyond to help me. Retail is hard in general, and I imagine could be even more difficult in a store that sells so much specialty product. The product here is good and the staff here is amazing.

Just know a smile and bright eyes go very well with a "pardon me." We missed seeing the seasonal kayaks, but never say never. Next season.
