The first time we went to this store, five years ago, there was a line to get in and they were letting people enter in groups of ten or something like that. Today, five years later, we just walked right in with no line and no assigned groups. My impression in 2025 was much better. The store was not too crowded so we were able to leisurely browse and really take in everything in the store. The selection is outstanding. if they don't have something related to camping or outdoor life, it does not exist. This trip the wife was looking for some shoes while the kid and I looked at everything else. She enjoyed checking out the tents and sleeping bags. She rode on one of the bikes. It was like a play day. I liked that there were employees to help and answer questions. Noah in the bike section was great. Employees were very friendly. The quality of the products they sell is excellent. Prices are high but you get value and what you buy is going to last a while. We ended up not buying anything, but we enjoyed the store nonetheless. read more

I don't come to REI often, but when I do I always end up leaving with exactly what I was looking for, if not something better! This held true on my last-minute trip to this location a day before leaving the country for a couple weeks. I wanted a backpack that had enough storage to allow me to take multiple flights between the countries I was visiting and it would fit in smaller overhead luggage spaces. The staff member who approached me was very helpful, showed me myriad options that fit into my specs and never tried to upcharge me. I was in and out in under 45 minutes, and I love this bag. read more

LOVE REI! In the market for a new bike, but no one came over to offer assistance today after being there for a while. Maybe because of my limp LOL. FWIW, all of my prior experiences in this store have been fantastic! read more

I was here to look around and see what options I might need for an upcoming trip. This place was easy to get to (especially if you are going West bound on NW HWY), LOTS of parking! The staff was very helpful in multiple locations through out the store and gave me ideas on many things I should think about. None were pushy. I did decide the walking cane would be needed and very glad I listened on the options and suggestions! What some might find some items pricey, the discount I received from being a member of their discount program continues to pay off. read more

The REI on Northwest Hwy usually has what I want in inventory. I have been to their shoe department 4 times this year and got shoes each time. The shoes sales staff were very friendly and helpful. The register staff have been very quick. Ali helped me with processing my 2 hiking shoe trade-ins. It's a great value that REI has the trade in program for the consumer in trading-in and the buyer of those items that are still in good shape. read more

Always a pleasant trip when coming to REI. We like to to come and look and the discount and clearance items which the always have a lot of. Looking for cotopaxi items, which the have a lot to winter items and regular items in this brand. Good discounts, really got some good deals for our Alaska trip. Staff is always helpful. They carry a lot of the brands that we like, including Kuhl and Patagonia. Some on the discount shelf. Catching these during a sale like we did today is a bonus. This one is one of the bigger ones, it's a great place. Clothes, climbing items, biking items, camping and hiking items. Good stuff. read more

So we were in the neighborhood and decided to stop at REI for the heck of it to kill time. I really wasn't looking for new shoes, but once we got in there and saw what they had to offer, I ended up buying two pair, LOL!! We had a phenomenal shoe person named Bethany that just killed it with loads of information about every shoe I had a question on. She not only answered all of our questions but knew exactly what type of shoe I needed and for what activity. I said I needed a new shoe for the gym and bam! found the perfect shoe and perfect fit. Bethany not only knew how to size up your shoe because of how the manufacturer makes their shoes, she knew exactly what I needed for a wider foot. The bottom line is that she was a shoe expert and was exactly what I needed that day. Again, I walked out with two pair of awesome shoes. The second pair I bought were for the looks alone. :) the red laces were just calling out to me, haha! Both shoes are super light and very comfortable. I wanted to thank Bethany for all of her help, she deserves a raise for killing it in the shoe department. read more

It's a very large store. I went there to buy a pair of Brooks and a pair of Hokas. I felt like I was ignored because I wasn't asked to be helped. A family walked in after me and the only person working the area asked them if they needed help. So I decided to leave bc that made me feel a certain way. I went to Dick's where the service was much better. I bought 2 pairs of shoes there. Brooks and Hokas. I won't go there again. read more

Yesterday, Sunday 25 Feb 2024, was my first time going into the R.E.I. Store on E. Northwest Hwy in Dallas. It's a beautiful store. I had been researching water bottles online, comparing different brands, features, etc. I lucked out and had Noah help me with making my final selection. He was very knowledgeable and kind. We decided on the HydroFlask in the color "Fir" with a twist off cap and a black bottom to tie it all together. I'd just come from a funeral, and it was pretty good of him to take time to explain the differences between Stanley, Yeti and my final selection. He delivered great service. The R.E.I. Store is very nice, with a lot of great options for those who enjoy the outdoors. I joined up as a member, a $30.00 purchase that is given back in the form of a $30.00 credit towards my next purchase! So, essentially, the membership is a huge value!. The gentleman who rang me up was equally helpful, he was mid-aged but looked very fit and the entire experience was very nice. A+ Service! Next time, I'll buy a new pair of Hoka's there! read more

The REI bike shop on Northwest Hyw is there to rip you off! I was quoted 3x more than their price board to replace a tire. When I asked him to explain why he made up some BS thinking I wouldn't know any better I guess. F'm! read more

I've been multiple times, it's great. The people know what they're talking about and can point you to the gear that you need. It's expensive, but items that will last a lifetime. solid selection and great return policy. Become a member, and you can save some money. read more

Big shout out to Ray and Jesse who were stationed at White Rock this weekend with swag and free bike repairs. My bike wouldn't change gears and we were stuck about .25 away from the REI tent. Serendipitous to say the least. Ray had my gears fixed in minutes. Thank you, REI!! read more

I went to the Fort Worth location to get my father-in-law's yearly Christmas gift and I had purchased a gift card online and printed it out and I wanted to get him the pretty gift card that they have at their store locations. So I took my pretty gift card up to the register and I took all of my merchandise to check out. After the lady explained to me that I needed to become a member and all the cool benefits that it would give me I politely declined and then I asked her to give me the pretty gift card because this is a Christmas present. she promptly got the manager. The manager said I'll take over from here because apparently they treated me as if I was a problem. OK fine no pretty gift card. Can I please just check out with the other things that I've picked out? Once I checked out, she hand me all of my items without putting them in a bag WTH. It's Christmas. They literally could not help the consumer. I don't think this company has heard of Christmas spirit and they don't seem to want to get into the magic of Christmas or the holidays. read more

They have things there that deal with almost everything outdoors. They have all sorts of a selection on numerous items. I went there looking for a specific item and found way more than I thought possible. read more

I really just came to peruse, see if there was anything I could pick up for an upcoming camping trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful as needed. I think everything was moderately and fairly priced, I grabbed some basic small items & picked up some classic enamel camping mugs. My cashier, Brandon, was very helpful and friendly as well as another cashier. I signed up for the membership & will definitely be back to grab a few more things for my dog before the trip! read more

REI - Made it out with just one bag - Sports Wear Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time in the store & probably won't go back. One person greeted me but that was it (no "can I help you find something today?"). Wandered back to the shoes & there wasn't anyone there to help. Just didn't feel welcome. read more

This is a newer REI. Original location was 4515 LBJ Fwy, Dallas location. It is well stocked. Orderly and matches my favorite REI in Saratoga back in Cali as far as carrying most of what I need. Tons of parking. Impressive array of bikes and backpacks. They also carry a good amount of XS Smart Wool pullovers. I was very happy with this! My future purchase with REI is a mobile sleeping bag. It's the sleeping bag with a toe box where you can stash the bottom part of your bag so you can walk around. Holes for your arms to stick out. I am a big REI fan and supporter. Their return policy is unparalleled anywhere else. This works very well for my shoe purchase! My feet has gone through size changes. From 6.5-8 with my hiking boots and shoes. If not because of REI's awesome return/policy I would've shelled out money for a shoe size that doesn't work for me anymore. If you are a backpacker or at least hike I'm sure you bought your gear and a few more. It's not cheap! If you bought it somewhere else you can't return or exchange it for the life of your cramped feet. Thanks REI! You rock! read more

This place rocks and has really made a huge improvement from how it used to be. It's definitely not a Seattle or Denver Mega REI, but it's got friendly staff and a somewhat decent stock of materials. Given the current boom of outdoor recreational sports due to Covid, inventory flies off the shelves pretty quickly for hot items. If you're looking for specific apparel I'd recommend fitting in-store and then purchasing through REI online. The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to. They're not rude and are very assistive in making sure I get my cycling/hiking needs met. The staff really makes this place seem alive. Getting to it however can be difficult so add an extra 15min or so to your trip due to Dallas traffic. I've spent over $300 dollars at this location and I'd honestly recommend coming here if you're a beginner and are looking to purchase your 1st equipment!! read more

Very disappointed in the customer service at this location. Online ordered a brand new full price Wilderness Kayak Pungo from this location, got the kayak home to find very large gouges in the kayak, contacted store manager and they claimed they would check other stock and they laughed when I kindly asked giving some money back to avoid an hour drive back to the store...even though they admitted it would probably just be put in the garage sale pile. WTF!! They never called me back, not the kind of customer experience I have experienced at other REI locations. read more

Went looking for a pair of sneakers for my mom who has lower back issues - Brenee was so helpful and patient - she brought out multiple pairs of shoes and shared her own recommendations. It was more personalized buying experience than I expected! read more

Walked all the way to the back of the store, saw that cycling shoes weren't with the rest of the shoes, and walked all the way back to the front of the store without a single employee asking if I needed help (which I did). Once in the cycling area, I actually had to go hunt down an employee for help. Despite being found in the cycling section, she was confused by my question about cycling shoe sizes and flagged down another employee (also in the cycling section) to answer the question. Except...he couldn't answer the question either. Furthermore, neither one of them knew what sort of fit I should look for in a cycling shoe. Didn't matter too much since they only had a couple women's road cycling shoes in the store in the first place. One of the employees vanished pretty quickly, and the other one only lingered long enough to ask if I was a "co-op member" and put the hard sell on "joining the co-op," then vanished as soon as she'd written her name as the "reference" on some card about the "co-op." Look, it's a rewards program of sorts, not a "co-op." Having lived in California for several years and knowing some people who lived in ACTUAL co-ops, I feel like they would be offended by REI's capitalistic use of this term...ha. Personally, I'm not offended, but I find it a little amusing/silly. Oh, and the shoes were $10 cheaper on Amazon...but I actually ended up getting a different kind entirely (on Amazon) because the ridiculously limited selection of women's cycling shoes at REI didn't include the one I wanted. read more

I came here as I saw that a pair of rock climbing shoes I was looking at online was in stock here. I couldn't find it at first and ended up asking a staff member. I came to find out that the pair was hidden and lucky for me, it was my size! Staff was very helpful and definitely did join the REI membership to make it count for my soon to be many stops at the store. Thanks for having an amazing staff!!! read more

This review is about REI's curbside pickup service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though Governor Abbott is (foolishly) letting businesses open before it's really safe to do so, REI is keeping its stores shipping and curbside pickup only to protect the public and their employees. I placed a small curbside pickup order, and it was ready really quickly. The employee will bring it out to your car, and you show your ID through the closed window so they can verify that the right person is picking up the order. You can then pop the trunk and they'll place it right in your car. If, like me, you have a car with a trunk that doesn't automatically pop or open, you'll get out of the car and grab the bag from a sanitized cart while the employee stands back at a safe distance; employees aren't allowed to open trunks themselves. This taking care of their employees is admirable. REI has a reputation for being an upstanding and ethical company, and this carefulness helps cement this good reputation. read more

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." In my case it usually begins here. I've been a coop member for a long time and have never had a bad experience at any REI I've visited. This location is my home store and I'm happy about that. Stopped in today looking for a new bike. These guys love cycling. Friendly, knowledgeable, awesome and willing to answer a million questions. You know it may be a while but I'll get my new badass mtb right here. read more

Great store and service. Very clean and organized. Cashier lines sometimes has a wait, We bought 4 electric bikes there when they had a half-off sale. Definitely recommend for outdoorsy folks, and also if you need quality clothing for any type activity. read more

This review is for Hannah in the Bike shop. She was super sweet and very knowledgeable (and didn't get annoyed with me for the million questions I had ). She installed a roof rack and luggage carrier for me and pointed me to another REI to get the bike rack I needed after talking me through the specifics and other options that I hadn't even considered. With the information she provided, I feel very comfortable with all the components I purchased, and I am confident REI will work with me if anything goes wrong or I change my mind. So grateful to you Hannah! Thank you! read more

Preston helped us out with a return and he was absolutely freaking awesome. Thank you Preston!

Poor service every time I go to this location. Always excuses. I have better luck ordering things online. No place to park, long lines, rude people at the register read more

Sorry REI, but you failed as a store compared to the other REI's I shop. Most REI's have staff buzzing about in each department ready to answer questions, offer suggestions, or simply tell a passing customer hello. That's most REI's. This isn't one of those. While there was an ample amount of staff about the store, not a one greeted either of us as we passed. And when we encountered two associates standing in the aisle chatting, we had to reroute around them to get to the products behind where they were standing. Another failure of this shiny new store are all the security locks on a number of items. I'll admit, the store borders an area that isn't that nice. But the security locks seemed excessive. We had come in to look for solar chargers for out backpacks. But the locks prevented us from taking them off the peg and reading the specs on the back of the packaging. A few of the chargers did have front panels that opened and revealed the product and more info, but the larger models had yet another security device on the box with it's anchoring straps wrapping it firmly closed, much like the ribbon on a gift. This is a time where one of those non-helpful associates would have been handy. Though we never found one and finally gave up. If you're just visiting the Dallas area, don't waste your time here, shop your local REI when you get home. And if you live here, well, make a trip to one of the two REI's in Houston or just shop online. read more

Even though there is an REI 15 miles closer to me, I always find myself traveling from Denton to Dallas to visit this one. The associates are always hustling & bustling, exceedingly friendly, & super helpful. From my Cotopaxi windbreaker to these Salomon X-Mission 3's to my Patagonia daypack, everything I've purchased from REI has stranded the test of time, wind, dirt, & climbing. Their Co-OP Garage Sales are ideal for folks like me looking for a more affordable steal. I love REI forever & ever, they'll always be my go-to for adventure accessories. read more

Why is this place closed until 10am? It's a Thursday. There are 10 cars waiting to go in. Plenty more decided to buy their product online since this place has weird hours. Another guy just walked up while I was typing this and tried to open the door. Still closed. There are now 15 cars here. You are about to lose more customers. This is why retail is dying in America. Poor management decisions and at the end of the day you will blame it on Amazon/Internet. There are now 13 cars here. 2 cars left. It is 9:58am. I'm sure it will take forever to check out as usual. I should have purchased online. My mistake. read more

I was the second person in line. By the time I checked it out there were 10 people in line. It took 25 minutes for me to get my gift card. Two workers walked up and it looked like they would assist but in fact did not. Disappointed REI see gift card picture. read more

This is a great location that is still pretty new. I love that they have a variety of items that are all extremely well made. Even their shoe section and clothing section are high quality. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. I will most definitely return in the future! read more

Everyone here usually is so helpful but I wanted to highlight Ryan we came in to pick up a cargo box for the top of our car and we're browsing bikes Ryan helped us get a better idea of what type of bike we're looking for, he's very knowledgeable and just seemed to go above and beyond with us and I appreciate it!! read more

I would give my experience 10 stars if possible. Armando and Marc fixed my Pearl Izumi cycling shoes when they were really not fixable. They went out of their way to help me and got them fixed in a few days despite being so busy. They went above and beyond to help me and saved me a lot of money in the long run! They were absolutely incredible. read more

My experience at this store was not really good. They do have a good collection. While being in the store i had my eye on a jacket but they didn't have my size. I waited for about ten minutes to ask for someone but i was just ignored. I had to go to the counter and some ladies help me at the cashier they were helpful. I went back to meet up with the person they call in to bring out the jackets. They had three in the back and finally put them on display. After i went to purchase my jacket they guy in the counter was friendly to everybody but me. He had a negative reaction after making my purchase he threw the receipt at me. Also just stuffed my jacket in bag nearly ripping the bag and throwing it at me. If it wasn't for me catching it, it would have fallen on the floor. I also feel the store should be diverse. So in conclusion, I did not feel comfortable shopping at this REI store. read more

Love that REI offers free classes on outdoor activities like hiking, camping, backpacking. I could spend an entire day roaming around this place. It's spacious and packed with so much cool stuff, (apparel, gear, food, shoes, gadgets). Coming here makes me want to spend time exploring the great outdoors! read more

My brother-in-law, my sister, brother, and I went to REI's most recent garage sale here. The boys camped outside while my sister and I stayed home because she is 6 months pregnant and couldn't camp out. But it's awesome because you can get some great camping, biking, hiking gear. Some clothes and shoes. All for SO cheap just because they're items people have returned. They set up camp about 7 the night before and my sister and I met back up with them at 7 the next morning to wait with them. My sister and her husband have been doing the garage sale for a long time, so they know the ropes, but this was only the second garage sale that this location has done, so there were some first timers. But usually they hand out tickets about 30 minutes before the first wave of shoppers get to go in (which is 10am). For the most part, the chaos was well managed. They had security guards and workers talking to people and telling them to settle down. The area for the garage sale was small, so we had to squeeze by about 50 other people during the first wave. But it's awesome because for 25 minutes you just walk around and grab everything and after your time is up you go inside and go through everything to see if things fit or if you really want them. I got a Northface jacket for $20 and a Northface raincoat for $20 as well! We got Patagonia sweaters for $19 and a 4 person tent for $50 which was originally about $280! If you get the chance to go, I recommend it. However, the only catch is that you have to be an REI member and pay the fee. But it's like $20 for the year, so it's worth it to get to do the garage sale and get these nice things for super cheap. read more

I guess it's interesting to look at things you'll never need or even understand what they're for, but for the basics in most any sport I cant imagine buying anything here. It's at least double the price of any big box store or online. Nice selection of pricey bikes but i thought there were few choices for accessories. Whats with the fake mountain in the shoe section? It seems this entire store is for upper echelon folks--perhaps thats why no one bothered to ask if I needed assistance. I guess I didn't look the part of their desired demographic. read more

The new Urban Outfitters REI store opens access to a lucrative East of 75 market, makes me drive 20 minutes further to get there. I used to run into the old REI on a whim, this one is far enough away that I have to make it a special trip. Old store could pull customers from all over Dallas. This one seems to cater to a certain demo. Personal whining aside, it's an REI store. They make good tents. /getoffmylawn read more
