I recently visited Tonquin Trading while on a vacation to the Oregon coast. My husband had left…read morehis hiking boots at home, and since our trip involved a lot of hiking...we were sort of screwed. To make matters worse? He wears a size 16. Not exactly the easiest size to find in a pinch. Tonquin didn't have size 16 either-- but the super, super helpful guy working there understood our dilemma, and gave us a recommendation of where we COULD find a size 16, in exactly the type/brand of shoe we were looking for. He saved us from driving around all day to every Famous Footwear trying to find something that might work. So. Although I didn't end up buying anything at Tonquin, I was really impressed (and grateful!) by their "can't-get-it-at-Macy's-get-it-at-Gimbels" attitude, which saved our vacation. If I go back (and I loved the area...I'm already planning my next trip), I'd totally patronize Tonquin with my outdoorsy needs!

Wow! What a great shop and so helpful. I got out of work late and called Jake ahead for our chain…read morerental. We needed to rent chains for our visit to Mount Rainier National Park and would get to Ashford after they close at five. Jake was more than accommodating arranged everything, sent us pictures where to pick up the chains and was cheerful about everything and gave us great tips on the park. Highly recommend this Shop. They have a run cafe, rental and retail with local guides too. We'll be back.

Great customer service here too, everyone was helpful. What I didnt see here was much in the way of 'small tackle' for freshwater; so if you're looking to update your trout bag you wont find much. But LOTS of great gift ideas here too for that outdoorsy person in your life (or you!) This will be a new regular stop for us when we hit Astoria! Prices were reasonable for the area. COVID protocols very good. Ample parking, easy to find.

The staff is extremely nice and informative. They feature so much...stuff for hunting, working, fishing, paintball, etc. etc. You know all that predominantly outdoorsy stuff. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of products they have. They offer classes and various types of events here. They offer Clearance Items both in store or on their website! If you're an Outdoorsman then this is definitely worth a visit. There is plenty of parking in this strip mall location. Their website is very user friendly if you need to use it. Heck they even offer a Wish List on it.

He was incredibly nice to our 3 kids and let them play with things in the store (and his dog) while I talked with him about the area, the roads around Mt St Helen's, etc. It's not a huge store, but given the remote area, he's got some basics covered. It sounds like some of the other reviewers are mistaking direct / honest responses with rudeness.
