The shop has the familiar feel of a classic surplus store, but what stood out most was the older gentleman behind the counter. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable--engaging without being overbearing, which we really appreciated. He pointed us in the right direction and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Not only did we find what we needed, but everything was very affordable--which was a pleasant surprise. For anyone working on a project or just looking for solid military gear without breaking the bank, this place is worth checking out. Coming from a proud military family--my sons, their father, my husband, grandparents, and great-grandparents have all served--I truly appreciated his candor and expertise. It's clear this isn't just a shop; it's a space built on experience and respect. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.

The prices are on the good side of fair. Shopped here regularly before. Busted a hump to get to the store for a quick purchase, only to get a disingenuous "sorry" as they closed up early and the door literally got locked in my face by the second employee - the first just stood in the doorway and stared blankly back at me tongue tied, physically blocking me at the entrance as I tried to go in. As if I was supposed to be psychic and just understand I wasn't welcome even though it wasn't closing time. It was weird.

Then on November 16th I received another email stating that my order was placed on back order AGAIN and that it'd be shipped out on 11/30.  I then received an email on November 27th saying that my order has shipped, however, everytime I check tracking it says "pre-shipment, waiting on item from seller to ship"... it's now December 18th. Just a few days until Christmas. I hope I get my order some time in the future, especially seeing how I placed my order about 2 months ahead and I paid $105 for these items. please get back to me with some updated information!

No one approached us or asked if we needed help. The salespeople simply ignored us; one was busy with his merchandise, and the other, with a red beard, sat in the customer chair and hummed.

Just a little back story for the record, I've been going to this particular store for many years…read moreand I've spent thousands there and I've always spoken highly of the products. I've brought many friends, family and coworkers there as well to give 5.11 business. But let me tell you! I don't know what happened to this store and how they pick their staff now, but they are absolute trash. Ever since the old store manager left this store has hired the worst people and the store always looks like crap. The old manager had this location looking good, fully stocked and her team was on point and very professional. They lost the true face of 5.11 on that one. I recently went to this 5.11 location on Friday March 28th with my family to see if things changed and I was reminded for the final time why I will NEVER return again. The guy in the front said something when we walked in and never said another peep or offered to assist with anything at all the whole time we were there. That's not even what bothered me. What made me absolutely livid was when the female worker blew my father off mid-sentence when he was asking her a question about their sale and said "It just depends" with a snarky attitude and TURNED HER BACK ON HIM AND WALKED TO THE BACK OF THE STORE. I almost lit her up. I'm done with 5.11 once and for all and I know deep down many others are as well. Shame on this company for allowing such people to work there and for allowing such an environment.
