We got some really nice sale items & jackets for the coming school year. With it being summer they had all the sizes there ready to go so we like to buy early. I wanted to buy my son some north face or Patagonia jackets but the prices were just about 30$ too high for how much kids clothing should be so we went with the REI brand which we are super happy with the price of & hope they hold up. I really wished they had some cute women's jackets similar to the kids ones, they lacked cute colors pink purple green HELLO, and the adult jacket pocket style was a bit different. I don't buy items with metal zippers that can rust or bang around in the washer dryer and get nicked. BEN worked really hard to sign us up for the membership which we hope will afford us some coupons in the future and SOPHIA was very nice as well, letting us hold an item to purchase the next day and maximize our benefit of signing up for the membership. We interacted with several other employees who were so nice and also were very understanding about my little boy who was wanting to pretend to do some cooking near the camping stuff. It's a really big store so I can see why some other people have said they were approached several times and I actually appreciate that much more than having to look for someone. In a big store this is the difference between a customer just saying oh well and walking out since the plaza brings in lots of browsers. I would be so happy to have these people working for me as they took every opportunity to inform, ask fact finding questions, offer products, have relevant conversation, show interest in my child. As someone who spent around 15 years in retail & retail management this was so very nice to see. read more
