    Stopped in to see what the buzz was about. So first and foremost, they have a person outside greeting (I assume it's weather driven - it was a nice day - sunny and about 70 degrees). I was able to ask some questions about the co-op and membership. It's $20 for a lifetime membership and not required to make a purchase. Store is large and well laid out. Tons of camping, climbing, biking and apparel selections to be made here. Some really good brands as well as the REI brand (which I'm not familiar with. That being said, considering the other brand names they carry (Patagonia, North Face, etc) I would guess that their own brand is pretty good. Staff were friendly and helpful and tried to help track down a t-shirt and even offered to sell me the one off of the mannequin. Really liked this store, staff and location. Will for sure come back to shop in the future.

    Horrible experience at REI. Placed an order online, received an email stating order was ready for pickup. I drove over an hour to the location just to be told that my order was on hold because I used a prepaid Master Card that I received as a gift. Mind you they still have my $200 tied up for the next 7-10 days... The REI 100% customer satisfaction didn't apply to me. I'll be filing complaints with the BBB, MasterCard, and the FTC.

    Yellowbird hot sauce, the very best!

    I came over 4th of July weekend to browse for a bike and overall check out the store. Wow, do they have covid-19 procedures on lock here! Staff was extremely pleasant and efficient. They offered disposable masks and hand sanitizer to all entering, and my shopping experience was great. They limited the amount of customers allowed in at a time and had a tent set up for shade for those waiting. I quietly explored each section of the story, many of which were discounted - especially much of the clothing (lots of 30-50-% off that I saw). I was hoping to find a bike, but with the current supply chain issues (hello huge demand thanks to quarantine) most shops are low on stock with bikes particularly in the most common sizes and cheaper models. Staff there was friendly but also respected social distancing. They let you browse and ask questions if needed without harassing you. I love everything that REI stands for and was pleasantly surprised to see they have a few of my favorite sustainable ethical food brands in stock including Tony's Chocolonely and Yellowbird hot sauce (the best of the best). I didn't feel intimidated in this store despite not being knowledgeable on camping, cycling or any of the other outdoor specialties they cover. Great people, clean store, and hoping to visit again soon to see what is new!

    I made a visit to Fleet Feet to spend a gift card from Christmas. From the time I arrived they…read moreprovided amazing service! The store is very nice, clean and organized. She started with a personalized fitting analysis with the coolest machine ever. It told me the size I needed, my walking points, foot width, and arch. She provided some shoe options that would be good based on this. Loved how they assist you with trying on and discussing points about the shoe. I decided on the new balance 1080 v15. So comfortable! Be prepared to spend money... they are not cheap but worth it! Great experience overall and loving my new purchase.

    So this is actually my 2nd time coming to this place. Both times has been an amazing experience…read more First time around they did a scan and helped me find the perfect set of shoes and inserts to treat my Plantar fasciitis on my feet and I noticed an immediate change. I could stand for longer times and it actually helped me regain my healthy life again. Second time around I took my wife in and they did an extremely thorough scan and broke down what kind of shoe would help her feet and what would relieve her pain , that she experienced. Their independence knowledge is extremely valuable and helpful. The store has a vast variety of apparel to wear for running, and inserts, and shoes. Isaac was the one who helped out my wife and he did an amazing job. He listened to all of our concerns and addressed every single question we had. My wife is excited to immediately use the shoes that were recommended. I was recommended this place by another friend and now I can see why. I highly, highly recommend to come here to anyone else!
