    My first impression of this store was, "What is with this place?" I walked past the ennui filled…read morefront of the store and went to buy some boots. I picked out a couple of pairs and sat down to wait my turn. The salesperson was helping one person, who was taking his time, speaking with his partner, and testing his shoes. I sat on the bench and watched while she stood around and watched TV glancing my way one-in-a-while. When she did see me (at least I thought she saw me, the ennui was pretty thick) I held up the shoes in the universal signal of 'I'd like to try these on'. Apparently I needed a different universal signal? Even a "I'll try to get someone to help you" would have been nice. Finally I flagged down another salesperson and asked if he could help. He immediately looked at the shoes I had chosen, asked my size and went off to find them. Meanwhile the original salesperson finally looked over and asked "Oh, do you need help?" I admit, I laughed. Mind you, we were only ten feet away and she had to have seen the other person. Now for the good and why I'm giving the store 4 stars. The person who helped me was outstanding and the four stars are really for him. He knew the brands, how they might fit my feet and how to size them. When I realized I needed a size down from one pair, he not only brought that shoe but the new size in the others, just-in-case. This was a huge help as I did need a size down in the others. He was engaging and conversational, AND, managed to help other customers while helping me. His service was outstanding and in the end I felt like I bought just the right boots.

For 5 minutes when we have things we want to buy. Nothing like ignoring customers in an empty store. Service is garbage. I'll go to REI next time

    Rock/Creek Adventures and Rentals - Kayak on our car

    Great place to rent a kayak or canoe in downtown Chattanooga or to do some shopping…read more They had a huge selection of sports and outdoor gear and do rentals. We rented a 2 person kayak for 2 hours (the minimum) for only 40$. We walked in and the staff was friendly and helped us get set up with the rental. It took about 5 minutes to fill everything out. We then pulled out car around to load up the kayak. You do have to transport the kayak yourself to the drop in point on the river. They gave us a paper with QR codes showing us all of the drop in points and told us which was the closest. We went right under walnut street bridge. It was the perfect spot with a great view. The only issue was transporting the kayak. We were fine because we had a Ford Escape, but if your car cannot transport it, you would have a problem. They supplied us with straps and helped us strap in on. They also have us paddles and life jackets. We struggled a bit to get the kayak on and off the car at the river as we were only two people and I am not super strong, but it was doable! It didn't feel like we had too much time by the time we drove there and got the kayak in the water but we did have a good hour and 15min I'd say. And we returned the kayak a little bit early. Honestly it was a lot harder than we thought going against the current so we couldn't have spent much longer out there anyways. Also, I wouldn't recommend bringing things on the boat with you that you don't want to get wet. My sweatshirt was soaked sitting on the front there. The two dry bins were filled with water so we didn't put our phones in there. We had some baggies and just put our phones in baggies and in our shirts. My shoes and pants did get soaked as well being in the front. When we went into the water off of the ramp the whole front filled it with water at first. So I definitely would come better prepared than us, clothing wise! Definitely recommend this place if you have the car to transport the kayak/canoe!

    Love, love, love these wonderful people, their knowledge, and products! We always stop in each…read moreseason to check out what all they have and this time walked away with a new mountain bike and helmet. The bike came with a free 90 day check-up maintenance. They also have a full service department onsite for all your bike maintenance needs.
