I usually don't rave about clothing stores, but I believe when you have a truly good experience at an establishment, that they deserve some adequate praise. I'd been to this location of Zumiez before and liked it, but after a recent visit, I can honestly say I like them even more. The staff are super friendly and definitely willing to help with anything and go the extra mile.
My lady and I were in the area and decided to drop by on a whim. We saw they had a lot of stuff on sale buy one get one 50% off. I grew up an 80's skate punk, so a lot of the brands resonated with me from back then, and both my lady and I found lots of cool gear. I found some classic Santa Cruz button-up shirts right off the bat. I'll admit I was eyeing the skateboards too, which they had lots of really cool ones, but I haven't skated in many years so I didn't opt for one... Yet. Then we got to the Vans shoes. We asked the staff to check for our sizes in a few different styles. Each time, they took the time to check for each one, even though they were a little busy. When they weren't able to find our sizes in stock, they suggested they place orders online for us, and they'd have them shipped either to the store or to our place for free and still get the buy one get one 50% off deal. We, ofcourse, said yes please! Our cashier took our information and told us to not hesitate to call him if we have ANY questions or if we don't receive our order within 12 business days.
This is the kind of experience that makes you absolutely want to frequent a business. Yeah, I'm no longer the young 80's skate punk I was before, but the 43-year-old me still loves the nostalgia and timeless look of a Santa Cruz shirt and a pair of old school Vans. I think staff will be seeing my lady and I stop by again for some more gear sometime soon. read more
