I love the REI in Garden City. Every employee, literally everyone, is so kind and helpful. They are…read morewilling to go the extra mile and never seem "bothered". REI has great outdoor brands and a decent selection. Prices range and things can be on the higher-end but it's no more expensive than the manufactures sites. I also appreciate that as a member I get perks like cash back, extended returns, etc.

Still five stars. We came in looking for a number of things. Kind of a scouting mission. REI has…read moreplenty to offer for hiking, camping, biking, kayaking, and more. We are looking for, among other things, a smaller tent (ours is huge) that we can easily lug around with us and REI has a large selection. We signed up for their membership several years ago. Just tell them your phone number when making a purchase and you get credit for the purchase. We picked up a UV protective t-shirt as a gift for someone. It was reasonably priced imho, very soft and moisture wicking. Brilliant. I should probably get myself one too. BTW, the company no longer offers bags. None. So bring a reusable bag if you plan to shop here. It's just another way to reduce waste and be a good steward. Some of the prices can be high, but not everything. They sell Patagonia which is an expensive brand, as well as other, more moderately priced items. You just have to know what you want and what you are willing to pay. If you check out the bulletin board upstairs, they offer guided excursions that look really fun. I check out their selection of hiking poles as I am looking to buy some. Everything from really reasonable basic models to foldable, light weight pricey models. So you have options. They have pet items. Personal care items. Clothes and shoes are upstairs. So many types of water bottles. Camping items for both the thru-hiker and the car-camper. Check them out. They are a good resource and the staff are friendly and happy to assist.

I was here for a Christmas gift for my partner. I knew the teams he liked but this location didn't…read morehave those specific teams - but John (the manager) I believe was extremely helpful trying to give me suggestions and helped me the whole time I was in there. Which it was a while. Eventually I found a Batman hat (my man is an absolute Batman lover), and it was a hat that was glow in the dark- and it was very well priced. I knew whatever hat I would get that I was going to get it customized. John suggested a glow in the dark thread- I was so excited! Now please keep in mind that the hats can get pricey especially when you customize them, but it's well worth it. My man loved his gift so much! I would go here again just for John's amazing customer service and the amazing gift.

This Lids store in Warwick is located in the Warwick mall. The store focuses on sports headwear,…read morewhich can be customized. They run sales and offers often, so you can get a good deal pretty much every time. This last time I was there they had a BOGO 50% off. Even though their specialty is headwear (caps, knits, etc), you can also get tank tops and t-shirts at the store...either off the shelf or customized. The company was founded in Boston by best friends Douglass Karp (son of real estate developer Stephen R. Karp) and Ben Fischman (son of real estate developer Steven Fischman) in 1993. It primarily operates under the Lids brand with stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and the United Kingdom. The majority of the stores operate in shopping malls and factory outlet centers.

Definitely understaffed, but that doesn't make this a bad store at all. Think about it previous…read morereviewer, there is only one store in RI for paintball, it's amazing that they managed to stay open through the paintball depression of the past 10 years. It's starting to come back, I think they will start to get more business as it becomes more popular again. Only store in RI that specializes in Paintball, and they run the same deals that they do online. The one dude that is always working there goes above and beyond. He knew I was looking for a new mask in a certain color, he showed me options, and was waiting on one more that I liked to come in. He held the one that I was looking at aside for me so that when the other one came in I could actually look at them side-by-side and try them on. The dude has been helpful in getting me back into the game without breaking my bank. I spend a lot of money on goalie equipment for hockey, so I always do my research when buying sporting equipment online. More often than not, the prices at RI Paintball are better than Amazon.

The staff was extremely helpful, and the non national-branded chemicals were much more affordable than I'd imagined they'd be. I bring in the water every so often to get tested just to make sure the results I get from my test strips are good, and to get professional analysis as needed.
