I also took a look at the hooks and weights and asked for his recommendation which he gladly provided. My experience was positive...I would return and would certainly recommend...what did it for me was the customer service...although there were others in the store my sales associate took time to complete my transaction before helping others...that goes a long way in my book.

The new-ish store in Annapolis is a mecca for sports apparel and recreational equipment. It is clean and organized. Downstairs there are seasonal items, general athletic apparel for the whole family and a large shoe department. Upstairs is sports specific with big sections for football, baseball, lacrosse, golf, bowling, etc. We even came across a section with bikes and kayaks. I really enjoyed pursuing the entire store and I spent the most time eyeing up Yeti and Hydroflash drinkware and Lodge cast iron pans. Yes, there is even a small camping/outdoor living section with hammocks, chairs, yard games and such.

This is a combination Patagonia outlet and regular shop that also holds sample sales and local events like lectures and yoga classes. There is metered street parking available right by the entrance or you can try to find free street parking a block over and walk. This is apparently the largest Patagonia store on the East Coast and they even have their own Baltimore patch! They have sales on top of their outlet prices as well but just keep an eye on what they serial is actually on sale such as fleeces instead of the entire store being on additional sale. I came by for a yoga class on a Sunday morning (bring your own mat!). This was hosted by Andrea and attendance was about 15 people and was a very pleasant peaceful start to the morning!

I said okay, is a little after 6 gonna be too late? He advised thats fine. I drove for an hour and 5 minutes arriving at 6:12 to a closed store. Fantastic. I wonder why we all just shop online now.

The backpacks that I looked at were a bit larger and heavier than what I am looking for. I perused several sandals and the first pair of Teva sandals I saw were ginormous. The sandals look like they were swallowing my feet. The sandals at this retailer are likely meant more for practicality and comfort rather than their style. I found a second pair of Teva sandals that weren't as wide and fit my feet better. They are not the cutest, but they felt comfortable when I tried them on. The staff are amazing. I was greeted by three employees. The first one greeted me when I entered the store. The second one asked if I needed anything when I passed by him while I was shopping. The last one Krissy asked if I needed help when I was looking at the sandals. Krissy informed me about their lifetime membership which cost $30 and their current $30 new member bonus card which you get with a $50 purchase. The bonus card expires September 12 and can be used towards any purchase. A few benefits of being a member include: -10% back on full-price merchandise -occasional 20% coupon -Lightly worn items can be returned within a year -free shipping with no minimum purchase -Shop and trade gently used gear and apparel

The Spanish gentleman that does the fishing report was there, I was going to introduce myself and say I was a fan until I heard him keep cursing up a storm about everything to his coworker. Talking about some tech who came to his house to fix his washer dryer. No big deal, I just kept quiet and rolled through and helped myself. Then I go to checkout and the kid at the register just doesn't say anything. He was doing something, so I had to address him and ask if I could checkout. Then after the transaction he just doesn't say anything like "alright good to go" or "thanks" ..nothing . I was like "ok are we good?" And he says "yea do you need a receipt or something?" Annoyed.

Favorite experience was going in to browse, found a pair of clearance shoes for my son and for some reason there was only one shoe! They looked in the back, called the other location and could not find the other shoe. Ended up buying a different pair, a week later I got a phone call (mind you I didn't specifically leave a number they just have me in the system for rewards) saying they had located the other shoe and would I like them to hold for us? I was blown away! They took the time to note who we were and actually follow up! Of course we went in for the shoes they even gave us the extra discount that would have applied the day we were originally there! They also have a good selection of used items at awesome discount and you can put your items on consignment too! Visit both their locations downtown and Central Park

Robynn and i have deleberately avoided participating in any black friday shopping for all the reasons we're all so familiar with. But my wife has recently become a "backpacker" and I wanted to get her fitted for a legitimate backpack so we made an exception to our black friday rule and went to the only place I would go to locally backpacking and other outdoor gear, River Rock Outfitter Even though the shop was filled with customers, Keith and April, the owners, immediately greeted us. When April finished with her customer she began the process for fitting my with a backpack. This process which included measuring her torso, what type of backpacking it was for day hikes or multiple day/night trips, types of weather, trying on multiple packs (with weigjts in the pack) took approximately 40 minutes, maybe more, but it was such a pleasant experience, it only seemed like minutes. My wife and April found the perfect pack but since it was not in the color my wife wanted, April placed in on order. We'll return in a day or two, try it on again and walk out with an early Christmas present for my wife we will now be able to share and enjoy many more years of backpacking together with a comfortable backpack. If you want professional backpacking and other outdoor expertise and a wide selection of high quality gear from a polite, courteous, friendly local business, go to River Rock Outfitters; you will not be disappointed.

That was the ONLY reason I bought the 2nd pair of shoes. So I wear them for ONE shift at the hospital, they weren't comfortable. In fact, my feet hurt after that. So I drive an HOUR AND A HALF back to Annapolis to return them, only for 2 teeny boppers tell me that they can only be returned for store credit. I explained that I don't want store credit, that I only wore them for ONE shift on LINOLEUM floors. One of the teeny boppers said there was "evidence of wear" & they couldn't give me my money back. Evidence of wear after ONE shift wearing them?! Yeah I highly doubt that wear was from ME. I argue it, asking why they can give me store credit & not my money back. So I call the owner, as instructed by the teeny boppers. NO ANSWER. Left a voicemail. Explained that I live more than 1.5 hours from the store. I got NO RESPONSE. Like EVER. That is the LAST time I go there for shoes. I was told by the teeny boppers that I could take the shoes back home with me, or get store credit. So I'm 1.5 hours away from home, and have accomplished nothing. NO help from the owner. What a waste of time & money! I will NEVER go back to that store. Highly DO NOT recommend buying anything from here!! Let me addend this...if you go to this store, the employees will tell you it's not a problem to return your shoes even if they're worn in a hospital for the 30 day trial period (looking at you Sean). However, they also NEVER mention or point out their return policy (maybe on purpose so they can get the sale?). "The return policy was printed on your receipt" is the response I got when I tried to return them. Well guess what owners? I NEVER would have even bought them had I known what I know now. I bought them because YOUR EMPLOYEE told me they are returnable within 30 days & that I could wear them at work (he knew I worked at a hospital because I specifically mentioned that while trying on multiple different shoes). So if your own employee is misrepresenting or doesn't fully understand your return policy, then I'm expected to?
