- SMSusie MonkmanNov 15, 20255.0Great shopping experience
- KMKelli MurraySep 24, 20255.0My favorite place! Excitement gets the best of me. I feel like a kid in candy store!
- BMBeth MedburyAug 27, 20255.0Good store for hunters and fisherman
- JDJennifer DannerAug 4, 20251.0We purchased a pair of Oakley sunglasses from your establishment on a previous date. We drove almost 2 hours from our home to come to your store to have them sent off for prescription lenses. We arrived at the sunglasses desk. We were informed that the employee did not know how to do it. Went to the service desk, they informed us that she was the only person there for the sunglasses desk. Although the service desk apologized, I feel they could have offered more assistance after finding out we drove 2 hours. They gave the impression that it was not their problem. Very disappointed that you offer a service that you can’t give. Disappointed that we wasted money on sunglasses at your store and the lack of employees who can do it. Again, it was a 2 hour drive one way, didn’t think I would need to call to see if anyone working today could do it. Edited to add that 4 days have gone by now and not one member of their management team has bothered to reach out.
- TPTom PtasnikJul 18, 20255.0I absolutely love this store and all of its varieties of baits, rods and reels. The prices vary just like anything else. The quality of the equipment is second to none. I just recently purchased a new boat. The salesperson guided me through the process from start to finish. When I came in the following day to pick my boat up, I went through a step by step checklist that ensured how to operate everything with the boat. I highly recommend them to all.
