    Drove an hour and a half to west hartford location to specifically stock up on dehydrated meals as they have the most to choose from. When I arrive they have only a small bucket of them and was told the rest are being "counted for inventory". On a busy Saturday? cmon! I had to ask 3 different green vests before a very nice women helped me get a few meals. Had to tell them what ones specifically and I felt as I was making their lives difficult. REI used to be so much better.

    All staff were very welcoming. I believe Bree was the employee who helped me track down a specific item that was difficult to find amidst the new merchandise coming in. She was exceptionally kind, reassuring and determined! A huge thank you, from a fellow Benchmade fan. :)

    Super helpful sales associate. Interesting Co-op membership deal. Something to consider if multiple purchases are anticipated.
