On my way out the front door the store security alarm went off security made me turn around and return to check out where security rifled through my purchases only to find the dumb a** cashier forgot to remove an alarm tag. Did I get an apology? Hell no the manager just said "oh he's new" as if that was a valid excuse. This is how they treat paying customers so I would advise shopping elsewhere. No excuses for this kind of behavior especially from someone in management. It was embarising to be searched in front of all the customers checking out. I'm mortified.

As someone who has recently gotten into running, when I saw this spot, I had to make a point to swing by while wandering around Pier Park. The store is good size, nicely decked out and decorated, clean and in good condition. They have a good variety of shoes and a decent selection of gear and clothing. In addition, they have a small selection of running gels, snacks, watches and more. The store itself is cool, has a great runner vibe, but the service, or lack there of gave a totally different vibe. I entered the store and passed by an Associate, and there was no acknowledgement at that time or during my visit. When we were headed back out, we passed by the same Associate plus another one, and again, no acknowledgement. Very weird, especially because one thing I love about running is the culture and community, especially in the stores. Overall, I liked the store, and wouldn't mind stopping back by, but I am hopeful that they improve the service. 3.5 overall for me.

Well done to the owners and employees!

He made sure I hooked up on to fish! Daniel helped me so much!!!!! He showed me EVERYTHING there is to know when it comes to local fishing. From what baits to throw, to general areas that hold fish, Daniel gave me a fantastic fishing report! He is the reason I caught fish this vacation! You can tell Daniel has a passion for fishing & putting others on fish!!!! was really sad to go back home after vacation stay in the area.... Thank you so much!!!! Will be returning again soon!!!

When she goes in to return it, she's told that she's not able to return it because it was a sale item at the time. This makes some sense until you consider that everything was on sale during Christmas time and that returning a shirt should not be a Herculean task in 2026. She asks to exchange the shirt for another one, which the cashier (not sure if this was the owner or employee) allowed. Originally, she would've had to pay $16 for an exchange, but some kind of markdown allowed her to pay $5. $5. To exchange a shirt that she should've been able to return The other reviews for this place also seem to check out with this experience lol

This Dylan is an absolute joke. He insists on lying about what he said and how he went about a…read morecustomer interaction. If my child would have broken something then I would have paid for it. This man has no clue how to run a business and interact professionally with people. Notice how he doesn't deny cursing loudly in front of children. He leaves out the fact he was on the giving us the middle finger while security caught him doing it. Absolute disgrace. Hopefully he matures into the big boy he is. Wish I could leave zero stars. Last post and then I'm done with these fools. So the man "holding me back" was also threatening to fight you? If someone was wanting to "fight" you, why would they hold each other back? That makes absolute zero sense. Caught in a lie there. Dylan really needs to go back and watch the security footage so that maybe he can see his errors. No one threatened to fight you and no one was being held back. But as I stated. I had a close eye on my child. He was simply looking. By the way, if it was such a breakable high dollar item like you seem to think it was, why was it laying on the floor? As you can see, these people love being confrontational and are unworthy of any business.

But really it was the same, just having more "Surf Style" banded items - like, LOTS of Surf Style branded stuff. The "75% off" clearance sign out front, which was HUGE, was less impressive once inside the store, as that area was just a few things in the back corner of the store. You got me, Surf Style... i was lured in. Overall - not much in the store that others don't have. They just seem to be trying to sell the same merchandise with an upscale feeling. Pass.

I have popped in and out of Ron Jon's many times over the years and walked out with solid apparel on numerous occasions. The store is fairly large, well kept, organized, clean and easy to navigate with sections clearly defined. In addition to a wide variety of apparel consisting of all the well known beach/outdoor brands, they have a plethora of Ron Jon specific items from shorts, shirts, hats and more. Additionally, as expected, they have a corner of the store dedicated to all things surfing and skateboarding. This area offers a solid selection of pre-fab boards along with skim boards and boogie boards. And of course all the accessories that go along with it. Prices are fair and surprisingly so given the name brand and location in Pier Park. The store offers a great photo op with surfboards at their front entrance, but if you are already in Pier Park, you can access the store via a back entrance as well. Staff are always plentiful, helpful and friendly. Overall, Ron Jon is a solid spot and always a cool place to wander through when roaming around Pier Park.
