It is one of the favorite stores for the men in the family. My son Dustin goes for the golf gear…read more I don't think he will ever have enough golf balls. And as for those fancy drivers, I'll let him buy his own. But this is always his first choice for what kind of gift card to get as a gift. And my son Chris is much more practical and goes for frisbee golf. He saves a lot of money that way. He also loves the guns they carry. As for myself, I go for the fishing gear. You can never have enough fishing poles, two for each type of fishing. Surf fishing one day, river fishing the next, and deep water fishing the next. They carry it all here.

I can honestly say the service at REI Bike Shop has been outstanding. Their workmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stand out. A special thank you to Trent, who provided exceptional service. Trent is knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly takes pride in doing things the right way. It's rare to find someone who combines technical skill with genuine customer care, but Trent does exactly that. I also received help from mechanic David, who was professional, helpful, and clearly skilled at what he does. It's great to see a team where multiple people are committed to high standards and quality service. Based on my many years in the sport and experience with countless bikes, I can confidently say their work is top-notch. I highly recommend REI Bike Shop, and if you have the chance to work with Trent or David, you'll be in great hands.

We always enjoy stopping by The Tackle Box--the team is consistently cheerful and welcoming every…read moretime we visit. Roger, in particular, always greets us warmly as soon as we walk through the door, and as we head out, he never fails to remind us to be careful when fishing in the surf. That kind of personal touch really sets this shop apart. They carry an impressive selection of surf fishing gear, including sand crab rakes, rods, reels, tackle, lures, and a wide variety of lines. They're also well-stocked with live bait, including blood worms--an excellent choice for surf fishing. We also purchased my wife's Okuma Hawaiian Custom surf fishing rod paired with a fully lined Okuma SI 4000 reel from them, and that setup has been instrumental in her success. With it, she's caught many surf perch and even landed her first two halibut in the surf--memories we won't forget anytime soon. If you're gearing up for a day on the coast, this shop truly has everything you need, along with friendly, knowledgeable service that keeps us coming back.

I got on my phone and found Salinas Futbol Central, so I drove over there not expecting much, BUT to my surprise, that place was very impressive! I had 2 employees helping me find cleats for me. they took in what I wanted in design and my price range; I was given every cleat within those ranges until I found the perfect fit for me. This shop might be small, but huge in customer service and convenience. If there's any soccer needs you have, this place is a must stop to get what you need, AWESOME!!!

This place moved to a new location in the mall. It is beautiful and is nicely lit throughout the…read morestore. The layout is great and easy to find shoes. But that's where the good things about the store stop. The customer service is horrible. There are about 5-6 employees working at a time and if they aren't bugging you after initially entering the store and want some time to look around, they ignore you. When you do need some shoes, the workers will hang out behind the cash register. This is more of a knock on the management to allow this type of behavior while running the store. I understand they get busy but the least they can do is check back up on me. I had to leave and walk back in a few minutes later, just to be like a new customer. Like I said from the beginning, the new store is awesome and the and the layout of the store is great. The customer service needs work. If you do need shoes and have time to wait like 1 hour to be helped, come to this place.

I've bought shoes from this chain store before and I can't say enough good things about it. I ended up buying a pair of Nike V5 RNR. Weekends tend to be really busy, so if you need extra help, go on a weekday. You can definitely still find someone when it's busy, but it feels less rushed when they're NOT swamped with people. I've had nothing but excellent customer service here. No matter what location I am at, the staff will check their online inventory to see if they have what you're looking for in stock, in most cases there's been a few times where they didn't have a particular pair of shoes in stock, but they ordered for me and had it delivered to my house. Thanks famous footwear for being awesome! I'll see you another 600 miles if NOT before. I highly recommend this place.

Unfortunately, the level of service I received was unprofessional and fell far below reasonable expectations. During my interaction, I felt dismissed and was not provided with clear or helpful assistance. The lack of professionalism and accountability made an already frustrating situation worse and left me feeling unheard as a customer. I believe customers deserve to be treated with respect and provided with accurate information and support. I hope this matter can be reviewed so appropriate steps can be taken to prevent similar experiences in the future. I would appreciate a response acknowledging this concern and outlining how it will be addressed.
