This store is the worst. I ordered a gun. They did not have it ready to pick up when advertised,…read morethen when I finally did get there to pick it up they said they had cancelled my order and refunded me without notice. I also never saw a refund. Wasted my time and I still haven't gotten my money back. AVOID. Full story follows... Ordered a gun on August 17th. I live 2.5 hours' drive away from the store. Estimated pickup was August 25. I had a trip to Anchorage planned for early September so it seemed like that was fine. August 25th came and went with no update. On the 28th I contacted customer support and they said the gun had arrived but wasn't ready to be picked up yet. My trip to Anchorage came and went. While there I stopped by the store but they said I couldn't pick it up yet... OK... Fine. I don't know when I'll be back to Anchorage, but whatever. Finally I got a notice on September 4th (11 days later than advertised) that my gun was ready for pickup. Well now I couldn't get to Anchorage for a bit. Should be fine right? They delayed me so they should be able to handle a delay from my end. I can't make it to Anchorage on the regular. I went to Anchorage today October 4th, to finally get my gun. I had multiple emails (the last from September 29th) saying my gun was ready for pickup. I go into the store and they couldn't find it. Then they told me that the order had automatically been cancelled because I didn't pick it up in time. They said I should have been automatically refunded. I hadn't. I also hadn't received any notice about this. I got a little heated and they threatened to kick me out of the store. Fine. I calmed down. I asked if the gun was there today. They said it was. I asked if I could buy it at the same price that I ordered it for (I ordered it on sale). They said they could not honor that. I walked out. I just got home from Anchorage and I double-checked my credit card and I still have not received a refund. They will be getting a charge-back from me as they have essentially ROBBED me at this point beyond wasting my time and being completely unhelpful in any way whatsoever. THIS STORE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN.

The…read morestore is massive and they have all sorts of sports accessories, clothes, jerseys, and memorabilia here. The employees here were friendly and the man who runs this store definitely knew his topics on sports teams, transactions, free agent signings, and player statistics. I came in here just expecting to browse, but I found several great items for my football team that I couldn't pass up. It took awhile before I had to make several decisions on what I wanted to buy. Being originally from San Diego, I found several cool items with the Chargers team name and logo. I found an Authentic NFL Jersey with #99 Joey Bosa, the Defensive End from Ohio State who was taken by the Chargers in the first round of the NFL Draft earlier this year. I also came across a large Car Window Decal with the Bolt logo, a Coffee Mug with the team name and logo, and a large Beach Towel that has the Chargers football helmet displayed with the team name. There were others that I really wanted but I decided to keep my budget in mind. A more detailed selection of items on any of your favorite sports team include leather wallets, wall clocks, street signs with the team's name, beer mugs, shot glasses, baseball caps, sweatshirts, winter jackets, fleece blankets, workout gloves, tees, and large flags to name a few. However, the best find in this store is that they sell NFL football tickets for any game in the country for the upcoming season! I saw tickets being sold for Thursday Night Football on Oct. 13th between the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos and the Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego! Wow! They are not cheap at $900.00 for two tickets but the seats are in the 10th row behind the team bench at the 30-yard line! As much as I wanted to snatch those tickets up for such great seats, financial responsibilities and my computer certification studies brought me back down to earth. This was the first time I came across a sports novelty store that sold tickets like this. I plan to save up some money now so I can hopefully snag some good seats here in a couple of months if there are some still available. This is an awesome place for any sports fan and a great way to start a collection of items for your favorite team on any sport whether it's pro football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and college.

We stopped in because we were both on the hunt for work boots and Carhartt's. Upon entry, an awesome table with fishing paraphernalia, which was great to see since I've been tying flies to get prepped for the season. No fly tying supplies, but plenty of quality gear in the store! The staff was super nice and quick to offer assistance! We were browsing but the moment we were in the footwear section, there was someone there to assist with sizes. Excellent selection of workwear for women, plenty of Carhartt's and Dovetail clothes with sizes from 0-24 that I was able to see. A helpful gentleman mentioned that if my size wasn't on the rack, they'd be happy to check a small supply in the back and also their downtown store. That's was great to know, since I forgot about the downtown location. They have a couple of dressing rooms for trying on items prior to purchase. Although we didn't find boots for my husband, I did pick up some Dovetail work pants and overalls that are not only functional, but attractive too. Everyday clothes men's, women & children...blue collar work clothing, high vis, sportsman wear, boots & shoes and a nice selection of fishing gear to boot! They offer a rewards program, birthday coupons and veteran's discount to boot! Big Ray's is definitely worth a stop!

When I first started running in 2018, I went to Skinny Raven and had an excellent experience. They…read morewatched me on a treadmill, evaluated my feet, determined whether I needed inserts, and helped me find my first pair of Altras. I couldn't have been happier. Fast forward to fall 2026. I'm retired now and no longer run, but after more than 300 miles of running and walking, my Altras were worn out. I wanted another pair for walking and hiking because I love the zero-drop design and wide toe box. I explained exactly what I was looking for, but the employee helping me abruptly told me these were running shoes and essentially couldn't help me because I wasn't a runner. The interaction left me feeling dismissed. I ended up ordering two pairs of Altras online instead, and they've now carried me for more than 500 miles of walking and hiking. It's disappointing because my first experience at Skinny Raven was outstanding. I wish the same level of service had been extended to someone who simply wanted quality running shoes for walking.
