    I usually have great experiences at REI and the staff is always super helpful. This time, someone even went to the back to help me find what I needed — which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the person who checked me out wasn’t very friendly. I asked a couple of questions and she seemed annoyed, which made the interaction uncomfortable. It’s not what I’m used to from REI, so it was disappointing. I might think twice before coming back to this location.

    They have good gear and good deals, however, we visited twice for hiking boots and ended up with the same salesman who seemed to have little interest in assisting us. The first time we asked to see some boots he basically told us no, come back in a few weeks when we have a sale. Hard to argue the point, no I want to spend more now,but we left and came back 2nd time. This time he told us we don't have any shoes in that size and brought out a pair 2 sizes too big then left to help someone else. We waited for a bit but neither he nor anyone else seemed interested in assisting. We went to Bass Pro and found the same boots for a little less. Nothing against REI itself, if you can walkin and grab what you need, great, just don't expect a totally positive experience if you need employee assistance at this location.

    I want to shout Lori. She was so so helpful today. She took her time with us and helped us try on like 8 hiking backpacks. She made sure we knew how to use them and even gave us some recommendations on places to go.
