This one…read moreis still mostly full with a lot of folks bustling around - at least on the Saturday I visited.

Today, 12/23/25, I visited this store to pick up a customer order. The counter clerk was unpleasant…read moreand unhelpful. She was also outright rude, acting as if she did not want to retrieve the customer's order. I asked for a manager; she resisted calling one and displayed an unnecessary attitude. When the manager finally came to the front, she was not helpful either. She did not look for the customer's order and simply told me it was not there. To justify not checking, she stated that she had already told the customer the store did not have the item they ordered. This store has EXTREMELY POOR customer service, and as an African American woman, I was led to believe that the behavior I experienced was prejudiced.

Tell us about your BootBarn.com experience…read more Very very dissapointed in your new Hagerstown Maryland location. The staff are awful. If your store manager is named Holly Young Wade (found with a quick Facebook search), she was equally as rude and should be ashamed in how she and her staff treated us this evening, February 22,2023 especially since her store is so new. We are a military family from Texas, we've visited a lot of Boot Barns, Cavenders, etc and this was by far the rudest staff. It's a shame because it's such a nice store and could do really well, but customer service goes a long with us. We were going to purchase boots for my one year old and were never offered help. I entered the store with my three year old daughter, two staff members and your manager stood by the desk and looked at us and did not say a word to greet us. All stared and then looked away. We were the only customers at the front so there was nothing else they would be occupied with. A few minutes later my husband entered with our one year old, again not one staff member acknowledged him they just stared. We looked at the hats and then made our way to the boots. Two staff members were talking for several minutes near the boots and neither of them ever asked us if we needed help, needed sizes etc. They did not acknowledge us at all. I noticed a male associate greeted and offered help to two women shopping in the clothing during this. Then the store manager passed by us again, just looking at us and not saying a word. We made it all the way back up to the front while browsing the store with not one greeting. We were exiting the store when a large family (all white, if that matters) entered the store and was greeted by every single staff member standing at the cash register. In fact, they were greeted several times and told "let us know if we can help you" as we exited, I looked back waiting for a "thank you for visiting" as nearly every store tells you- absolutely nothing. I will be telling all of our friends about our experience as I know many of them were excited about having a Boot Barn location in our area now. I will take my business elsewhere and buy my son new boots at a store where we are acknowledged. I cannot believe this store's customer service was so terrible today and that the store manager was there and acted just as rudely. Notifying Boot Barn corporate in hopes that this gets back to the store manager and staff. Thank you, Grace Hernandez

I greatly appreciated not being hovered over while trying on numerous boots but when I asked for help they were extremely responsive. Very pleased with the clean and organized.

I remember this place when I was little and it was bustling with people. Certainly not as much as…read moreLeesburg, but it was pretty full in occupancy. Well its October 2025, and it was like a Ghost town and the food court was by far the saddest one. I think only two places were opened on a Saturday. Lots of stores are closed and the parking lot was completely free. Not much selection now in terms of things. They still have some clothing stores left, but not sparse in terms of styles. The food court is actually clean because of the low foot traffic and someone is constantly cleaning the place. They do have Tesla superchargers here so its a good place to charge and walk around. The chargers are in the corner of the lot and typically just walking to the bathroom and back and most of the charge should be done so not really much time left to wander. It was sad to see and kind of made me feel like life has moved on from my childhood.

Looks like stores are moving on though there are still some big retailers like Ralph Lauren, Under…read moreArmour, North Face open. No food other than coffee available in food court. Not worth a visit anymore

I came in here looking for gifts only to find disappointment. Being one of the anchor stores at the mall you would expect it to be packed with a lot of what you may need. I ended up walking around in here looking for a good amount of time. I was surprised that I did find some items. What was a bit off putting were the lines at the registers. That is when you could find a register that was open. When you did find a register that was open you had to wait in extremely long lines. I mean it's one thing to pick up an item in one department but have to traverse to a completely different department in the store to pay for that item. I will say, the service here from the staff was impeccable. The lady that helped me had just delt with three difficult customers when it was my turn. That didn't bother her, she was still a gem to deal with. She was chatty and had a happy demeanor. I would go back to just interact with her.
