I really like Richmond's REI, it's pretty well organized and usually has what I'm looking for. Like…read moremost people, I come here for all my outdoor needs, especially when it comes to camping. It's located near the Whole Foods in Short Pump and has a lot of free parking out front. You're able to do curbside pick up if you want too. I usually go inside because I enjoy looking at all their goodies and daydreaming about outdoor trips. In the past, I've gotten climbing gear, camping gear, and apparel here. While things are pricey, I appreciate what great quality their stuff is. And I while I have never used this before, it sounds like they repair the stuff you get from here for you. I just learned on a recent trip that you can use your receipt to get free access to state parks if you're a member which is so awesome. I'm excited to use this for Pocahontas State Park next time I go. The people are always super kind here and willing to help with any questions you may have.

I used to have a can on hand when I worked in a fairly dangerous part of North Philly (that I never used), but that stuff expires after a few years, so it was time to refresh! When I walked in with my mom, we were immediately greeted and assisted with finding the Mace. They actually had a large selection of cans, which I thought was pretty random but nice. I chose the pink one without tear gas for $15 and was quickly on my way. The rest of the store seemed clean and well-designed, but I didn't stick around to browse. This location is in the Willow Lawn shopping center surrounded by a bunch of other chains, but parking was easy on Sunday. I'd return for sporting goods or some more Mace if needed in the future. Let's hope I never have to use it!

I thought I knew what I wanted but he really helped me figure out what I needed. He was super knowledgeable about each model and what the features were that would serve me best. He wasn't pushy at all and I know I tried on at least 7-8 different pairs and sizes. I have run and hiked for 30 years; but I still learned something today. I highly recommend the foot scan they use. I knew my right foot was a little longer than my left but the scan affirmed that and that my left foot was a little wider. Thanks so much for great service and I walked out with a great pair of shoes!

Sometimes in the past, they've limited the amount of people in the store and personally I really like that because it changes my shopping experience. I don't get easily agitated. The staff is pretty helpful and they move quite quick in the checkout line. Big bonus is that they are always willing to help and try and find a deal for you. Big bonus to the military discount. Really no problems other than the amount of times I'm asked if I am part of the Nike app. We were really knocked out of the park for our kids shoes here especially my teenage son .

Staff roaming around asking ppl if they nike members with scanners but can't separate a checkout line from a return line.

Get to the front guy calls next in line I let him know I have a return he says ok. Get to him and he can't complete my return because it was an online order, needless to say I'm moved to another register where I'm finally able to complete my return. Not a good experience at all.
