    The staff are what make this place the go to place for everything outdoors. They helped provide me tons of information and then it helped me decide what boots to get, pants etc. not pushy at all. Just there to help.

    I came in with an older backpack that had never been properly fitted, and the staff provided great customer service—not only helping me select and properly fit a new backpack, but also taking the time to explain each step of the process and share tips along the way. Highly recommend!

    I had the absolute best experience with Greg, Josh, and another REI employee at this store recently. I was looking for a snowboard and found it at their location, and they went out of their way to help me purchase it. I couldn’t be happier with their proactive customer service and genuine willingness to help me get exactly what I needed. This level of commitment to the customer is rare these days, and it was truly refreshing to experience.

    I visited this REI today with my partner to purchase several items, including bike accessories, gloves, down soap, and clothing. Within just a few minutes of entering the store, we were made extremely uncomfortable by the behavior of one of the staff members. The first associate who approached us was respectful and maintained an appropriate distance. However, the next associate (an older woman with grey hair) followed us at a distance of only about 2–3 feet for nearly the entire time we were in the store. As someone who has worked in high-end retail for many years, I fully understand the importance of loss prevention practices, but this level of proximity to customers is completely inappropriate. I could not even try on a pair of gloves without her standing directly beside me. Because of this experience, my partner and I decided to leave the store without purchasing most of the items we had planned to buy. I have shopped at many REI locations and have never encountered treatment like this.
