I didn't see any "tall" options that you would online shopping, but there were plenty of sizes in stock. I would have like to have seen more larger sizes in the men's park logo shirts, but I understand what sells and what doesn't. It would be great to have the same shopping experience online, where these sizes are an option. Great discounts for quality clothing. Thank you!

I first noticed this Columbia Sportswear Store a couple of years ago. I was pretty stoked as it was…read morein my area and being an avid outdoors person, I've often owned/used Columbia gear. But then I go to find out that it is not a store open to the public. *Unstoked*. But rather this is a Company Employee Store. Meaning a company or place of employment has to sign up with them (not really sure what that entails), then with a code/invite, the employees of said company can now enter the store and shop to one's content. I go to find out that my work gets involved in this annually, so I finally get a chance to scope it out. You have to bring the invite (a flyer for us with a code) and some proof of employment (a work badge for me). It is kind of a run-around but there is a benefit to all this. There are 3 glaring benefits from my perspective. 1. Being invite only and not open to the general public, the place is not crowded and cluttered. Very clean racks and displays. 2. Lots of legit inventory, so not a mish-mash of odd sizes and discontinued styles like factory stores. Felt like a kid in a candy store. Quite organized too, easy to find designated sections. 3. There are perceived deals/values here. Now I will point out that the brands sold here ie Columbia, Prana, Sorel etc are premium brand names and are usually not cheap. I actually find a full priced item to be borderline insane/expensive. Any Columbia gear I own are either gifts or things I got on some sort of sale/discount. Here at this store everything inside is 40% off (taken at the register). And even some items with certain highlighted tags, may be discounted even further to say 50-60%. A much better deal considering the quality. And after I went through their register to complete my sale, I was given another pass (good for 3 other guest too) to shop within the next 30 days. And there was a coupon attached where $20 can be taken off if spending reaches $100 (pretty darn easy to do). So another 20% off. They know how to market cuz ya know I want to come back for that. All things I restrained myself from getting on this last trip...will just wait til the next out. Bet!

I came in yesterday around 6:20pm and when we walked in the guy helping us was very nice and we…read morethought everything was going well. He had let us know "Perfect we have time to embroider" so we got 6 initials on two sides. They got the sides wrong and the color of the stitch wrong but it didn't matter to us, but the finished product on one side was HORRIBLE. Both sides can be compared and it does NOT look good, very rushed because they took long up until closing to finish. So we came in today to maybe redo it, and we were very nice since we didn't have problems before. He said "Well i told you yesterday the mesh wouldn't look good so idk what you want" and we showed him how both sides look very different even the fucking M's and i pointed it out and he was SO passive aggressive and when we were looking around he stopped by just to say "thanks for getting here earlier today" as if we didn't get there on time..? I didn't know we had to come when it was convenient for him. We ended up getting a refund and going to a different Lids. He has a beard, and was very rude just because we wanted a refund/ redo.

I've been shopping here since 2005. A huge thanks to Jeff and the team for all their help today selecting a helmet, glove, and cleats. We kept them past closing, but we found the right gear and they never made us feel rushed or inconvenient. Top-notch service, selection, and pricing, what else can you ask for? PS: To anyone reading negative comments about the service, those judgments are shortsighted. The store is BUSY because the staff takes their time helping customers make the right choice. When you're spending hundreds of dollars on sports gear, they ensure you get what actually fits. Jeff and his staff routinely go out of their way for customers, even stepping into the batting cage to test out a bat. If you're looking for quick, surface-level service, stick to standard retailers. If you want deep, expert guidance that takes the necessary time, go to West Coast!

I got my first pair of these last year, loved them, and the fact I was able to get some pairs for $40 (more than 50% off regular) is a great deal. Something I learned is to ask the employees to see if they have extra sizes in the back. The shoe selection for the 9.5 wearers has been kinda weak though. While they have more shoes out on the racks, I feel like the hidden gem is harder to find. The shorts, hoodie and crew neck selection has been pretty solid lately as well. I lot of them are in the $19-30 range. My workout shirt wardrobe needed a refresh, I was able to find a bunch for $14-20. As someone who doesn't like paying full price online, this store continues to be a staple whenever I'm in the area. Selfishly I wish they had more golf polos lol

IN-STOCK ONLINE VS IN STORE…read more This past January I went to Foot Locker in Southland Mall for a specific pair of Adidas - adidas Originals Superstar II. The color I was looking for was a white pair with the Adidas sign outlined in black with the inside white. I thought that was a cool look - a pair potential dance shoes for hip hop performances. When I entered this location I couldn't find the pair I was looking for. I presumed this pair was out of stock at this store and maybe that Foot Locker didn't sell this pair anymore online. A couple of months later when I searched through the Foot Locker website it showed that this pair was not only available online, but also sold at Vallejo. I didn't want to drive all the way to Vallejo. Also for shoes I rarely order them online as I like to wear the shoes for fitting. On the Foot Locker website I typed my local zip code to search for stores that has this pair and my size of 8.5 in stock. The website showed that this exact pair and size was in stock at Southland Mall. In March I went back to Foot Locker at Southland Mall. When I entered the store I didn't see the exact adidas Originals Superstar II pair and color on display. The sales representative Isaiah asked me if I had any questions. I showed him the Foot Locker website, which stated this pair was available at the Southland Mall location. He then asked me what size I was looking for. I asked sizes 8 and 8.5. Isaiah went to the back and carried the two pair sizes. Even though I regularly wear size 8.5 the size 8 didn't feel tight at all. Then I asked Isaiah for his opinion. He said the size 8 appears tight on my sides. I choose size 8.5. In January this exact pair according to Foot Locker cost $100. When I went to Foot Locker in March there was a promotional sale, which was $20 off for this pair. Even though I appreciate the service from Isaiah I wish this Foot Locker location was more upfront by displaying a pair that is available on the website.
