I didn't catch the name of the young man at the cash register, but want to pay him a few compliments. He was cheerful, courteous, and very helpful.

If the manager sees this note, s/he might know who was at the register at 12:26:24 on 9/18/24 and give the young man a pat on the back.

I've been looking for a roof rack loader for my Pescador Perception so, since Thule and Yakima accessories are pretty much interchangeable, I Google search Thule and Yakima dealers in the area. Two popped up and The Backpacker was one of them. It's a dreary rainy day and lunch time. I managed to find the shop in spite of the lunch traffic on Jefferson Hwy. I parked and walked inside. I was immediately received with a friendly greeting by several of the staff with offers to help me. I told them I was "just looking around" and they left me to myself with me knowing if I needed any help they'd be there. I like that. I wandered around for about 30 minutes and I managed to find a few things. Some I needed and some I didn't know I needed. So, I carried my bounty to the register and was checking out. I asked the young man if they had a THule or Yakima kayak loader. He replied, " We don't have any T-hule loaders or Yakima loaders in stock." I always find it amusing when the folks in the outfitting shops do that. I'm not "Sveedish" so I'll continue to say "THule" LOL. In all seriousness, the shop is very comfortable and friendly. The staff are extremely helpful and not overbearing/pushy. I travel to BR often on business and I'll continue to stop by "The Backpacker" to find things I didn't know I needed. I'm convinced that if they don't have it, you don't really need it. Kudos to The Backpacker and the wonderful staff. - Rain Man "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul." - John Muir

I am not a runner, more of a walker and weight training kind of girl. there were people in there of all different ages and exercise abilities so it's not just a store for runners. Jessica analyzed my walk, asked about my exercise activities and what I wanted in a shoe. She brought out 5 different pairs and discussed the pros/cons of each pair based on my needs. Found the perfect pair - a brand (Hoka) I'd never even heard of before my chiropractor suggested it. You can even wear your shoes for 30 days and bring them back to exchange for a different pair if they don't work out. That's customer service! Don't waste money shopping around for shoes that may or may not fit properly, go see the experts and get the right fit for your needs. Your feet will thank you!

I brought them back knowing this is not normal wear and tear. The manager said she could not take them back since they had been worn. Now what kind of statement is that? If the rubber was tearing when they were new I wouldn't have bought them. This is not normal for this short use. All I wanted was another pair. She was adamant that she would not take back the shoes, with little bit of wear. I am 73 yrs old and I do not drag my feet.

The owner, Tina, was recording a live video when I entered, so another employee helped me. Both then helped pull items I found online and bring extras to the dressing room for me. Needless to say, I had so much fun trying on all the cute stuff. I told Tina my goal was to find cute LSU clothes to wear to the LSU game at Ole Miss, and Nola Rouge came to my rescue! So many adorable items to choose from! Nola Rouge has been open in Beauregard Town close to downtown Baton Rouge since shortly before the COVID pandemic began in 2020. Their social media presence certainly helps them stand out. They are only open about 10-2, so make sure to call first as Tina mentioned several times that she often gets there early or stays a little later to help out customers. Such great service!! And the prices are on point too. I love sales, and they certainly offer quite a bit. So check out Nola Rouge on social media, get their super user friendly app to shop, or go in person to try on all the adorable options! I love supporting local, and you can't get more Louisiana local than a NOLA born now Baton Rouge business owner.
