    Thanks to Patrick for assisting with finding the perfect Hiking bag for our daughter. We've been to the store a few times and she says he's her favorite employee.

    Patrick assisted me with getting fitted for a pack! He was thorough and super helpful and friendly the entire time. He let me try multiple options and moved around the weight bags multiple times to make sure I was comfortable and liked exactly what I was getting. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his job and had fun travel stories to share.

    I want to give a shoutout to the the staff at this location. I am new to REI, and have only been twice now. However, each time the sales staff have been very outgoing and helpful. The manager gave me a great deal my first visit. I also want to give a shoutout to Wendy in particular. On my second visit to pick up my order, she greeted me and made sure I was aware of the holiday sales. I was curious about the sandals she was wearing, so I asked her about them. Turns out they are Bedrock Cairn EVO 3D sandals. REI didn't have any in store, but she told me all about them and how they fit. I now plan to get myself a pair! Thank you Wendy for being so helpful and fun to talk to!

    Employees were very nice, pointed me straight where I needed to go. I needed brake pads on my bike, the guy behind the counter knew exactly what he was talking about, gave me really good advice, and sold me the correct part for a reasonable price. Great service!
