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.

Since becoming licensed as a firearms dealer, that has become 99.9999999% of their focus, leaving a lot of customers behind. it's a shame as they used to be a really good surplus store ... now they're just another gun store with a few remnants of their old inventory left.

Don't do transfer here! They took 4 days to log the received firearm into their A&D book. You can…read morenot fill out the 4473 form until the firearm is logged into the A&D book, so basically, you'll have a 11 day waiting period, after they receive your firearm (which probably took 4 days to get there). Pretty much every other FFL I've dealt with would have firearms logged into their A&D book, within an hour of receipt.

Brought my sis in law here because their variety of full figured items is extensive I knew she'd find a winter coat here and she did within 10 minutes of entering the store

This review isn't so much about the store itself (though I've been a fan of L.L. Bean since I was…read moregifted a monogrammed backpack in the last 1900s) it's more about the boot sculpture that sits directly outside of the store. I really love this boot, it's the perfect boot and perfect sculpture of a boot. So definitely go visit the boot sculpture and then go in the actual store and buy yourself a monogrammed backpack it will last you 20 years if not longer.

I worked with Jim over the phone to get a baseball glove during the stay-at-home/quarantine period. He and the team went above and beyond to text me a few different pictures of gloves they had available and then shipped the glove and items to me. They also provided a complimentary steaming of the glove to break it in. Really impressed with their selection, customer service. Wish there were more local sporting goods stores like this!

Today there was a kid with bright orange hair working the register and another guy behind the parts counter who was literally zero help.

Jake was able to find my order, bring it out to show me the pole from its container, shrink-wrapped the container (because of the rain), and even attached the holder so that I could bring the pole back on the side of the car safely.

If you order from their very detailed catalog with their competitive pricing, know that you are in good hands. Thanks again, Jake!!
