Saying they do the bare minimum is an over statement. Honestly shopped at REIs in Texas, Colorado,…read moreMaryland, Virginia, and was super excited for the one in Delaware. What a disappointment. Sure, they have the standard selection, albeit a little more limited than the other locations. Sure, the staff greets you and is friendly enough to ask if you need help. Sure, the prices are identical to every REI which is no sales and sucky last chance selections. What really matters is beyond this surface level obvious requirements is just how uneducated and unskilled the staff is. I have been to this location 6 times and not once did I leave in a timely manner because of some hassle. They speak without thinking and say some nonsense about how the Co-op works. News flash if you have the membership, the policies are written pretty clearly online so I know when you're speaking nonsense. The new people there don't even bother to ask so done who has been there a while to answer a question they don't know. Whoever is training the personnel needs to get removed and the whole staff needs to be remediated to know what customer service actually is and stop hassling customers and telling them half truths or making it so difficult to return something that you bought 2 weeks ago with receipts and all.... The tax free isn't worth it, go to another REI.

Don't bother trying to return anything here, better off shipping items in for returns. I walked in…read morewith a handful of valid returns and immediately was faced with issues... Cashier called the manager over who was a lady with short hair and she instantly started just being very rude and assumed that I was just buying gear to use on one trip and return afterwards as if REI is a rental company when I literally never said that and it doesn't even make sense when looking at my purchases and returns. After a lecture about how I'm damaging REIS community, LMAO, they finally let me return my stuff but said if I return something else im gonna get in trouble or something? I genuinely just can't wrap my head around someone going out of there way like that to stick up for a comically evil union busting corporation who had to switch CEOS in an attempt to clear their name because they support selling off public lands to big oil for money. Literally just so weird and dumb. Garage Grown Gear all the way

The front of the store has men's and women's apparel with all the usual brands represented - MSR, Patagonia, TNF, etc. The hallway leading to the back has a nice selection of shoes, most from a few brands. The back of the store has a ton of climbing gear and the backpacks/tents. There's also a nice selection of books and assorted items for whatever scratches your fancy. On the way out, I was pleased to note some items up front benefiting a local non-profit outdoor group (thumbs up!). The staff was also very friendly. While I definitely had to hold back on this trip, I would definitely not hesitate to spend local and visit ERO in the future.

This is a combination Patagonia outlet and regular shop that also holds sample sales and local events like lectures and yoga classes. There is metered street parking available right by the entrance or you can try to find free street parking a block over and walk. This is apparently the largest Patagonia store on the East Coast and they even have their own Baltimore patch! They have sales on top of their outlet prices as well but just keep an eye on what they serial is actually on sale such as fleeces instead of the entire store being on additional sale. I came by for a yoga class on a Sunday morning (bring your own mat!). This was hosted by Andrea and attendance was about 15 people and was a very pleasant peaceful start to the morning!

Space-wise it's smaller than other outdoorsy stores in the area but the gears it carries somehow seems more unique and enticing and of higher quality. I know it's grand opening day and the number of staff may be inflated, but service here definitely stood out from its competitions. Aside from help on the floor, there is a bike service shop and a hiking trail mapping station; on top of that they offer trade-in and rental services. I think this co-op establishment has a tradition of taking vested interests for the betterment of trails and parks in the local community. So that's great news for hikers and bikers like us! They have life time membership program so make sure you sign up before your first purchase to take advantage of immediate discount for members only. The $20 cost is one time but the 10% dividends on purchases are lifetime.
