The staff is all friendly and helpful and will be able to direct you where you're going. The layout is a little wonky, I don't know if it's because of the overall size of the store, or just that it's laid out poorly. But once you get your bearings you'll be able to figure it out. The parking lot is also awkward to get in and out of, and also awkwardly located in relation to the main entrance. But any REI is a good REI and I'm glad this place is here.

Speaking of checkout, brace yourself for a long wait during busy times including over lunch hour. Employees can be knowledgeable or downright confused but are at least mostly friendly.

Yo just don't find many stores like this anymore, with such a mix of items. It is fun to wander thru the narrow isles and see what they have. Service has always been friendly.

I used to love shopping at The General Store, but I haven't been back since the day I was…read morewrongfully accused of stealing. I was stopped at the front of the store, right by the cash registers, in full view of everyone coming and going. Multiple employees surrounded me while they searched my purse and my person. It was one of the most humiliating experiences I've ever had, especially knowing I had done nothing wrong. After they found nothing, one employee quietly apologized to me. What hurt the most was that there was never a public acknowledgment that I hadn't stolen anything or a public apology in front of all the people who had just watched me be treated like I had stolen something. Instead, I was left to walk away carrying the embarrassment and humiliation on my own. I went home in tears that day, and I have never been back. I genuinely used to enjoy shopping there, but the way that situation was handled changed that for me completely. I recently shared this experience in a comment on one of The General Store's TikTok posts about how amazing their store is. I wasn't trying to be hateful or disrespectful. I shared it because this experience genuinely hurt me, and I felt that customers should be able to speak honestly about how they have been treated. What was especially disappointing was their response. Rather than reaching out to say, "We're sorry this happened to you," acknowledging how the situation was handled, or letting me know that steps had been taken to prevent another customer from having a similar experience, they blocked me. That response was incredibly disappointing. I wasn't looking for anything from them other than some accountability and acknowledgment that the way I was treated was hurtful and humiliating. Being blocked for respectfully sharing my experience left me feeling as though protecting the store's image mattered more than hearing from a customer who had been deeply hurt by the way she was treated.

Their clothes are for being active, warm, comfortable, and feminine. I liked their fall line up of sweaters, skirts, jackets, etc. Sports bra selection is great too. I liked the laid back, non-pushy service. I was able to peruse the store without feeling badgered, but got help when I needed it. The staff person proactively utilized a coupon to give me a discount of $9 to my purchase and they special ordered an item and shipped it to my home for free.

Or if we do, I just haven't seen it yet." "We might have those. Maybe check in that part of the store." (waves to corner) Then there was, "Yeah, you can totally return this by mail. Just send it back with the packaging." (Sent it back, followed up by phone, was told they refuse returns by mail, having the mail carrier 'return to sender' instead. But the pkg never came to me. Hhmmmm... No refund, no item returned to me. Ghosts have it, I guess?) It's not the staff's fault they aren't trained very well; that's a HQ decision. Just manage your expectations if you go.

I ask for some flies and he mailed me a very nice box filled with wet flies & some sinking leaders. So.... went fishing & OMG!!!! you would not believe the fish we caught using the flies Bo sent us. Wowza!! If I am ever in Spokane I will make sure to stop by Silver Bow Fly Shop.

This was previously a 5 star review from my experiences with customer service. I run a nonprofit horse rescue and get coupons from Purina for horse feed. I have frequent problems with them, but today was the worst. I was running behind and despite my clear communication that I was giving her 3 coupons (said 3 times), she only rung up one. We had already swiped the card, so she had to process a refund. I expressed I was running short on time and she said it would be quick. She then processed an EXCHANGE and called us "even" and wanted to ring me back up for the 2 coupons she had missed. So she wanted me to buy 2 bags of senior feed ($29) at full price, not need or get a real exchange, then pay the discounted price ($9) for the same two bags. At this point a manager (Jim) had come up and was backing her up saying it all made sense and that we were "even." Though I had been charged too much and not refunded anything and they wanted more of my money. I asked him for reassurance this wouldn't happen again and he just mansplained that the job was hard. No apologies, nothing. The customer service rep (Sheila) was the only thing that saved the situation by understanding the situation and taking over to help process our refund and get our coupons applied. I spend hundreds of dollars in this store weekly, and this situation has me considering finding a new feed store that actually supports nonprofits and the coupons we need to keep working. If I do go back, Sheila will be the only reason. I am extremely disappointed in this situation.
