    Huge shoutout to Ben. I stopped in for boot heat molding and a board wax and the turnaround time was incredibly quick. He really dedicated the time to make sure everything was perfect and gave some great advice along the way. Honestly one of the best retail experiences I have ever had. REI has always been solid but this made me a customer for life.

    Had a wonderful experience picking up a Thule rooftop box I ordered online for pickup at this Carle Place location. I rushed here after work to arrive prior to 8pm closing at 7:57. Jeff and Mark were not only super accommodating but they stayed with me till 8:07 to unbox my purchase so it fit in my van. I would have tipped them if I had cash on me, so hope management can give these guys all the praise. Thank you!

    REI, located in Garden City across from planet fitness, is an awesome outdoors retailer. They have quality clothing at high end prices. The representatives are always helpful and pleasant. I came to purchase a phone charger but I didn't bring my REI CC to redeem my points for a reduced purchase or free even. I am fond of this store due to the selection of costs on display. If they don't have it in store, you can purchase online and have it shipped at a later date. I chose to come back another day.
