    This is the super store of outside supplies - everything from camping gear and ammo to goat feed,…read moretools, and clothing. They have spices and freeze dried meals for hiking, and even the meat slicer and dehydrator. This place seems to have it all. The staff have been great and their prices are on-par or even a bit lower than other places. Definitely worth checking out.

    Absolutely unprofessional. If I could leave 0 stars, I…read morewould. Between my husband and I, we have spent a pretty penny here but after the experience today we will never go back. Since when do you need to redo a certification to pick up a firearm when the background check already cleared just because it's been more than 24 hours. If time is such an issue then why had Nicole the "general manager" or another associate not call my husband to inform him his background check cleared. Nicole almost cancelled the sale because of apt vs unit (telling my husband to change it even though you're unable to once the form is submitted). And there is no law that prohibits a person from telling the person completing a 4473 how to spell something or being a second set of eyes. We have purchased many firearms and have never had an issue being a second set of eyes for each other. She had an attitude, rolling her eyes when my husband asked to check the weapon before we left the store. How Nicole is the general manager, is beyond me. She doesn't know to how use the register and iPad, continually needing to be on the phone with other associates to director her on how to use said equipment.. or how to interact with customers in a professional manner. And who the hell uses their teeth to cut tape? I'll pay more at Scheels where they know what they're doing and how to treat customers instead of going on a damn power trip.

    Glad to see this business finally is complying with what they have posted on their website about…read moretheir having a Military / Veterans Discount. (See my previous review) I am updating my previous review because I got a call from a fellow Veteran that this Big R was now finally honoring their web site advertised Military / Veterans Discount. Off I went to verify. Lo and behold, they have a sandwich board outside the front door boasting of their Military / Veterans Discount. So, I went in, scored a free bag of popcorn at the door, was directed to the merchandise I wanted, went to pay where I presented my US Department of Defense Military Veterans id. I received a Veterans Discount. NO employee thanked me for my Service. I'm not sure they even know what a Veteran is beyond that I get a discount there, nor why we are important. https://pullingforveterans.org/blog/why-are-veterans-important/ PROS Building is old but was clean, neat and not cluttered. Selection was adequate for the type of store it is. Organized Customer service was adequate. Disabled-friendly as aisles were clear and wide enough making them easy and safe to traverse. By that I mean the isles were not filled up with encroaching merchandise, and that merchandise in the isles was stacked low enough that I could see traffic. Child-friendly Family-friendly The always engaging and entertaining Horse Tails newspaper is available here. See my review of them at https://www.yelp.com/biz/horse-tales-publications-gardnerville No one here offered to commit fraud to reward us, pay us or compensate us for posting positive reviews of this business CONS Has many above average prices and has many items or products that lack durability, craftsmanship, or overall value as made with inexpensive materials and less attention to detail, resulting in a shorter lifespan or lower performance than more quality alternatives. In all fairness, so do big boxes The Home Depot and Lowe's. Not a hardware store (Ace Hardware was previously at this location). UNKNOWN Don't know about public restroom. Don't know about pet-friendly. I rate 'em 3 stars. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, that's "Ok". I added another star for their finally complying with their website boast of having a Military / Veterans Discount. A Military Veterans Discount is a token thank you and powerful gesture of earned respect to Veterans and GIs as it provides resource to ensure Veterans (rare 6% of the population) and GIs (rare one-half of one percent of the population) opportunity to participate in American Dream Veterans and GIs' sacrifices have made possible for 100% of the population. https://www.londonmiddlebury.com/blog-resources/the-history-strategy-behind-the-veteran-discount I'll be back. For my Customer Rule is: Always patronize again a business that has treated you okay AND publicly and consistently supports Veterans and Active Duty with a publicly disclosed daily Military and Veterans Discount. P.S. Don't message me because in spite of several complaints to yelp, for years now I am unable to open up any messages in yelp to me :-(

    I enjoy going to big R for lawn equipment I couldn't find what I needed it so I found an associate…read moreand he was very knowledgeable in what I needed it.

Also, do you need anything in the western wear outdoors ,lawn and plants this is the store for you
