So far, I have been to Public Lands (owned by Dick's Sporting Goods) twice now and both times I'm impressed. They have a lot of good brands, various categories that you can shop from, a bike section where I believe they fix bikes too, and soon to be a climbing wall. I think they are opening the wall this summer. It said the date on it, but I only saw it at a glance. Not going to lie, one of my favorite parts of the store is the YETI section with its massive wall of YETI bottles. They have a Hydro Flask wall but I'm biased (sorry Hydro Flask fans haha). It is still cool though. The employees are really nice and the store is clean and always organized looking it seems (again, only been there twice so far). I think maybe the only downfall for me personally is the prices of the clothes, but that's mainly because the brands they carry can be on the expensive side. However, that's not to say I still won't find something cute and "have to have it." Lastly, the store is dog friendly (on leash) which is my second favorite aspect! I am a fur parent and love dog friendly places where I can take my pup. Our dog loved going there and saying hi to everyone. I definitely recommend checking out the new store to Charlottesville. read more
