I used to live in Cedar Hills for 25 years and Recreation Outlet was my most frequently shopped…read morestore in that area. If I needed the name brand stuff (boots, hiking shoes, outdoor wear, coats) I would go down to Sportsman Warehouse. I like Rec Outlet because I can get warm winter pants for cheap and same with gloves and stocking cap , long sleave shirts etc.. Just buy most stuff in bins and then on sale racks and you can get decent stuff for cheap.

I am into hiking so thought I would check them out. I asked if they had any shoelaces and was told…read moreby the girl behind the counter- nope. I walked over to the small boot/shoe section, and low and behold- shoelaces. This place is very picked over, looks like an an unorganized garage sale, and the prices aren't much better than REI. The guy and girl behind the counter were too busy playing with their phones to help anybody. I really don't know how this place stays in business. Don't bother stopping here. Order online or go to REI instead. You will have a much better shopping experience somewhere else.

My husband had to call multiple times for one of the girls up at the register to come and help us with shoe sizes. Both girls on their phones, up front. Finally, one of the girls notice and starts to walk back towards us. Then a guy comes walking out of who knows where, approaching the girl and telling her she needed to stay at the back end and watch the area. Perhaps the store manager? He handled the situation very professionally and the girl stayed at the back end. I mean come on, if you have customers in your store you should NOT be on your phone unless you're on your own time, like on lunch. What a crazy generation we live in now. We finally got assisted, tried on sizes and we were ready to check out. At the register, another customer walks in and THAT person is greeted with a "welcome in". Uumm, yeah, I wasn't expecting that because we weren't greeted when both girls were taking care of a previous customer. Strange. They had sales going on and while walking around looking at the sales, they weren't too bad. I haven't shopped at a BIG 5 in over 9 years. So I'm not too sure what their prices would be like. They seemed pretty cheap compared to DICKS sporting goods and Scheels. The store is clean and organized and well maintained. They have an average amount of inventory, not a whole bunch. We needed navy blue leggings. All we saw were black, dark grey and multi-colored ones. Not a whole lot of color options to choose from. The sizes range from S-XXL and you'll be able to find the sizes needed because they're stocked up with each size between that range. Overall store quality is nice. Customer service, could be MUCH better. For me, the service is always my first impression as soon as I step into the doors. There's no time to be an unhappy or distracted retail worker. You're on the clock. It doesn't take a lot of energy to throw on a smile and greet everyone walking through the doors.

I will definitely be back to this location! Excellent customer service!!!

There's a great section for all your pet needs (toys, beds, food, snacks, pet care, etc) that I had no idea about! They also carry really good leather bags (boho style) for women, as well as really comfortable casual shoes - it's like a one-stop-shop for camping gear, pet needs, clothing, and shoes, among other things!

Who knows what they're telling her when she fills out the forms. They take the gun and put it away after her background check doesn't clear right away. A week goes by and she calls them. It takes twenty minutes to get someone on the phone that knows anything. The person says yes we have the gun still and your background report has not come back yet. They also tell my wife do not call back -we will call you when your background report comes in. Flash forward another week, she calls back again, and they tell her her background report is still not back. Plus, we sold your gun. It's a unique shotgun, hard to find unless you specially order it. What an epic fail. I understand background checks are not their fault, but selling her gun?! After telling her they would hold it for her?!?! Don't buy guns at cal ranch. Go to cabellas or an armory.

In this case, in our attempt to be more sustainable. We frequently visit this location and we never know what we're going to find but we always seem to walk away with some treasure whether that be in the form of new clothes, toys for the kids, or even some books. You never know what you will find but that is what makes the D.I. so much fun. I have found some quality clothing brands (ex. Lululemon, The North Face, Vineyard Vines) at this location so if you look hard enough you can find name brand clothes for a fraction of the cost. Make sure you do your surveys found on your receipts so you can get 15% off of your next clothing purchase at any D.I. Location.
