We were at the mall anyway so decided to go in to check it out in person. Tyler or Taylor, crap I'm bad w names, but it was either Tyler or Taylor, really went above and beyond to help us with answering our millions of questions and trying to help us when we asked to get it going to try out. He was unable to get that key thing to work, but man, did that kid give it a valiant effort. We really appreciated his assistance and patience. The store is clean and well stocked. Will absolutely be back and highly recommend.

Large store with a good selection…read more Sportsman's Warehouse, in my opinion, is a discount Cabela's. They cater to the north valley outdoor enthusiast: hunting, fishing, shooting, camping, barbecuing, you'll find your items here. This store is fairly new and is located within North Valley Plaza in the building once occupied by Mervyn's. The plaza has a lot of free parking and is easy to access from both the Cohasset Road and East Avenue freeway exits. I enjoy coming here to stock up on pellets for my Traeger grill. Easily the lowest price in town here. There is always a good selection and a wide assortment of options. They seem to have sales often as well which makes shopping here all the more enticing. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, too. You won't get a true Cabela's experience here, but definitely come if you are in need of outdoor gear at a good price.

Services were so BAD, I went there to look at some Rangefinding Binocular for hunting season and I…read morewent up to one of the worker and he kind of ignore me and said someone will help you when they can. But he wasn't doing anything. So I went back to the glass case and waited for someone to come over and show me the Rangefinding Binocular, I stood there for over 20 minutes. And I look back over at the other counter and there were 4 workers laughing and not one of them asked if I needed any help. I never experience anything like this as a customer, because when a customer is waiting at a glass case I'm sure the customer would like to look at something. If there was a Zero Star I would have given it Zero. Hopefully upper management will look at this review and have a talk with the workers around the Hunting and gaming section. I was going to potentially buy a $1000 Rangefinding Binocular for hunting. But will order it online from Bass Pro. Date: August 8 2026 Time: 4:40 pm to 5:00pm

It was also great that the employee didn't try to shove the most expensive item into a sale, but rather listened to what was needed. The product was so quality, that we didn't mind the prices, being there was only a minimal difference between their store, and your cheap box store prices. Should we ever need anything else for our outdoor life style, we will look no further than this great little store.

The prices are on the good side of fair. Shopped here regularly before. Busted a hump to get to the store for a quick purchase, only to get a disingenuous "sorry" as they closed up early and the door literally got locked in my face by the second employee - the first just stood in the doorway and stared blankly back at me tongue tied, physically blocking me at the entrance as I tried to go in. As if I was supposed to be psychic and just understand I wasn't welcome even though it wasn't closing time. It was weird.

The people who served me were pleasant enough. When I bought my Ryka shoes 2 weeks ago, I asked…read morethe salesperson if I could return them if necessary. She said I had 30 days. 2 weeks later the shoes started fraying at the lace holes. When I tried to return them they said I couldn't because they were not in good enough shape to resell. They were starting to tear! That's why I wanted to return them. So, make sure you don't plan on returning your shoes if you purchase them here. You will not be satisfied with their return policy.

Ordered a board from them and it took three weeks to come in…read more Let me explain how this is a 5 star review: the board they had in stock had dents and dings, and they did not want to send that out to me. Instead, they ordered a new one from Sector 9 to make sure I had a perfect board and wasn't given the "beat up floor model." Josh was very responsive to my emails, and very clear with his communications and the steps they were taking. They value their customers and it is very evident by how I was treated. I cannot recommend them enough, and I cannot wait to make future purchases through them since I reignited the spark of skateboarding in my life.

Tyler in the Bike Shop was great, answered some noobie questions. The whole team was eager to help, super knowledgeable, helpful with all of my outdoor needs. I was surprised how good a selection of footwear and clothing they had too--and not just for "outdoors", but athletic wear, etc! Ive already spent several hundred here, and this has become my new favorite in Chico. Before you go outside, camp, hiking, a day of the lake, snow sports, or biking--THIS is the place to go!
