Last week I needed some help with my second backpacking trip to Havasupai and met Alec in the store. I was so surprised that he went above and beyond for me and my questions and recommended several good options not only for the hike but for the car camping as well. Since the experience was so great, I texted my friends from out of the state and asked them to use REI at Paradise Valley for their purchases because of a great value and quality. Hence proved again and again, the REI is the best option for your outdoorsy needs. Thank you brother Alec!

So I was on the hunt for some new walking tennis shoes for outside that are zero mm heel to toe…read moredrop or neutral and have enough toe room for my toes to spread but I also have a very thin heel, so kinda difficult to find the perfect shoe. However, I'd been reading about the Altra Escalante and saw that this REÍ had them, along with some other brands. I'm so glad that I popped in here as the salesperson was super knowledgeable about what I wanted for my new walking shoe. He found several different brands that might work and I went about trying them on. I narrowed by search down to two when he suggested that I take a few laps around the store! That made all the difference in making my final choice! I did buy the Altra Escalante and they have been working out perfectly! They weren't cheap but they are definitely worth what I paid.

They recently went above and beyond for me to help me locate a receipt from 2019 to help with a lifetime warranty on my favorite sleeping bag that I bought there for hiking and camping.

I love this place! I used to be an REI loyalists but lately my activities are getting much more…read moretechnical and REI doesn't seem to be able to supply all the gear I need. I came here a few days ago looking for vertical ascend gear out of caves. I was greeted by Jason and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I needed very specific gear, and Jason was very patient with me and showed me where I could find sit harnesses, chest harness, chest ascender, hand ascende, foot loops, etc. I didn't find exactly what I needed but got a good idea on the things I need to build a personalized vertical gear set for myself. And of course, while I was looking for cave gear, I wandered around looking at all the fabulous gear they have, I was like a kid in a candy store. I could spend hours in here. I started looking at hydration packs as I need to replace mine and found a very nice military edition and will come back to purchase this soon. I also saw plenty of Petzl bags, and very tempted to purchase another. They also carry so much Petzl gear, you will be in heaven here. Also, some great hiking shoes and some sleek, but we'll performing water shoes. I then wandered into kayaks and Jason even showed me the Padillac they have! I've gotten into paddleboarding and kayaking for the summer and now want one of each! This place rents them and sells them. I then went to check out some wetsuit gear, and they have a really nice selection of wetsuits, gloves, booties, etc. I really love this place and it is definitely gonna bankrupt me, but so worth it. High quality gear, more extensive selection than REI and the staff here know what they are talking about. If you need something specialized, this is the place for you. I'll be back here soon!

The first thing my daughter said when she entered the store was "wow, this is a nice Dick's!" I don't disagree! We found what we were looking for... a new net for our basketball hoop, and of course we found more than that too. We ended up purchasing not only the net but a new wiffle ball and bat, a new basketball, and some CLIF energy chew bloks. I'm sure I could have done a lot more damage, so this wasn't too bad! The staff were friendly and helpful and the store was organized. This DICK'S location is much easier to get in and out of with plenty of parking out front (vs. the mall location). We will be back.

I'm an animal lover and it was a super tough decision to make, but I decided on a high-powered premium air rifle and premium ammo so that the job would be done quick and as painless as possible. I assumed Amazon was cheaper but I was willing to spend more money to solve the problem today, and I wanted to try to support local. I called to make sure that they had the gun in stock, I spoke with Ismael (I'm sorry, friend I hope I spelled your name right). He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. When I showed up to the store, he recognized me from our conversation and came right over to help me. This guy knows his stuff. I was surprised to find out that there was a sale, and it was much cheaper than Amazon! Definitely a valuable employee and I hope he is recognized and well taken care of. I know the district manager for this place as well, his name is Seth Blum and he's a great guy. Super friendly and personable and great at his job. This place is fun, I hope they stick around... If you haven't been in go give them a shot... It reminds me of Popular.. that was a camping/outdoor place back in the early to mid 90s. Thank you all for running a great store, with friendly knowledgeable people.
