They have a good collection of skateboards, surfboards, and apparel. Pricing is quite competitive. A lot of times I go for nostalgia. Yes it's now in courthouse plaza, so it does still take time acclimating. Extremely polite and fun staff here. No snobbery at all, which can be an issue at other places. I'm relieved they landed here. At this point of life I'm less mobile, but my sons got gear from here. When he goes here I smile and think of "back in the day"

Prices were very fair and the quality of his merchandise was top notch. Chris was so kind and patient helping me get the gear I needed. He never tried to oversell me on anything even though he easily could have done so. He walked me around and helped me get everything that my husband would need to stay warm and have an epic time snowboarding. His passion and thoughtfulness shone through. He was answering phone calls, handling other customers and juggling me with ease. Super fantastic. Will come back to Sterling or Fairfax for any future needs. I later found out that Chris turned out to be the owner so fingers crossed he never retires. Side note -he has a sick Grateful Dead collection! Highly recommend visiting here.

Sedar the Team member working this day greeted us warm and friendly as soon as we walked in the store. Sedar gave us a friendly quick tour after we let her know we were looking for vinyl albums. The organization of the albums were very good as well as the grades listed on the each album. I slowly went through the selections and picked up about few. sedar did interact with us a few times and made the visit warm and welcoming. I actually bought a few more albums because I felt comfortable about the business style and layout. We bought 10 albums at about 200.00 and feel great about the quality. Of course I will find out upon playing them. I will come back for sure Special thanks to Sedar

Negatives: Very poor Hip-Hop music selection which is clustered right in front of the registers bc, well, you know . Only reissues and unsold stuff from Record Store Day. Older game systems and games were very expensive so maybe their strategy is designed for impulse buying. I would give the service a 5/10 but that unfortunately is the norm with the 18-25 workforce you usually find in the mall.

It took a long time to even be greeted by the salesperson. When the gentlemen did help, there was a major difference in how I was serviced versus the previous client. I felt like my presence was annoying despite knowing exactly what I wanted. When you plan on spending $200 on shoes, service matters. The overall goal was accomplished, I received a quality shoe.
