This was a first for this sole purpose. Mainly boots, but also packs. They compete with REI no doubt. But they have an edge in my opinion on service. My service with Chase was phenomenal from entering the store to showing me every aspect of technical gear I would need on a two week European hike, or even local in the Appalachian. I walked out knowing much more and still researching. They did not have the specific hard to locate Lowa boots I wanted to try on. They are rarely retail, closest is NC. No purchases yet, but soon.

There were no old school Army fatigue pants, no jungle boots, no strong leather duty belts. Instead they had knock off cargo pants that lacked the double stitching or buttons and cost double what they should, regular hiking shoes at double the cost, no canteens and the staff didn't seem interested in helping or even knowledgeable about what certain things were. I prefer Army Navy stores where there are real vets who know what you are talking about when you ask for something, are happy to help, have lots of inventory, and have actual real MREs, real steel canteens for long hikes, real camo tens and rucksacks. They're ok for some superficial stuff but not what I was hoping for.

The spacious counter is conveniently located in the center of the store. It's staffed with a plentiful number of knowledgeable employees who are both friendly & helpful. Our quest for the day was for a Norfolk City Permit for my sister's new kayak. Although the Lake Smith/Lake Lawson Natural Area is in & maintained by Virginia Beach, the waterway winding through it is owned by Norfolk & requires a permit. It's far more convenient than applying for one on line & having to wait for the stickers to come. The second purchase was to buy a new CG approved life jacket since my friend in CG reserves told me they were monitoring kayakers after recent accidents. Her previous use of my life jackets from the boat I sold was to use them as back rests. No can do anymore!! They had a supply but none that fit my sister. So we left with only the City of Norfolk boat (kayak) license & sticker. It's a convenient & a valuable resource for us to be able to obtain the permit quickly and close. The same can also be said for fishermen & those who frequent the nearby waterways, inlets & the Chesapeake Bay.

Also, our cashier was so nice and thoughtful. She really tried to pack our candles the safest way. She mentioned she wished you all had something to wrap things in considering the type of items you sell. I have to say, I agree. Overall, I say, In the area? Check Them Out!

I have been a Dicks Sporting Goods customer for decades. A matter fact, the first one that I can…read moreremember shopping at was over 20 years ago in Miami. I bought a pair of sunglasses that I still have to this day. I miss the location in VB Town Center. It was one of the best, especially when it had the Rockwall. An employee named Darren ran the Rockwall almost 20 years ago and he works at the Lynnhaven Dicks store in the shoe department. My daughter needed new shoes for a camping trip and Darren, as usual was awesome! Lots of great knowledge and advice and patience. She found some New Balance that was perfect and the right price. Darren's customer service skills are unmatched and I'm so glad that he was there to help us. The chain carries a lot of name brands like Adidas, Nike and Hoka's. The overall store in my opinion has not been as strong, but the selection has been every bit as good. They like others have cut back on staff and it can be challenging to get help when shopping. Customer service is not nearly what it used to be. When checking out the cashier was downright not friendly. So this four-star is much more about a single experience with Darren than the overall store experience through the years. If you need some shoes, ask for Darren.

I see Sweet Jane walking in brown corduroy bell  bottoms with lace bell sleeve top shirt. To top it off she is wearing black gogo boots. As an afterthought,  Jane is wearing black lipstick and has a black flower in her hair. Okay, I am getting way off topic.   Half Moon Beads and Rocks is a seventies store, but they have some nice merchandise.  The incense figures are very colorful and cute.  (a word I hear a lot of. I challenge women to go one week without using the word cute) If I were big on using incense, I would be tempted to buy one of these creations.   The dragons are the ones I like the most. Aside from that, there wasn't much that got my attention as far as merchandise is concerned. The owner or manager of the store had a striking resemblance to my cousin Carla. Her mannerism  were spot on too.   Small world at times. My time at this store was fun, but I am not sure when I will be back, but the next time we stop by, there might be some more cool stuff in this store.  Oh, and when talking to the owner or manager of the store, she was very down to earth just like my cousin, but it can be hard to tell at times.  Another thing this woman and my cousin have in common.
