Been shopping at this location since 2017/18 and always had the best experience, special thanks to…read moreall the nice people working here. Last week I needed some help with my second backpacking trip to Havasupai and met Alec in the store. I was so surprised that he went above and beyond for me and my questions and recommended several good options not only for the hike but for the car camping as well. Since the experience was so great, I texted my friends from out of the state and asked them to use REI at Paradise Valley for their purchases because of a great value and quality. Hence proved again and again, the REI is the best option for your outdoorsy needs. Thank you brother Alec!

Two stars is generous for a place with a very flawed "100 % Satisfaction guarantee" policy that…read moredoes not return lightly used child shoes worn once... Seriously, my daughter wore them for 3 hours, put them away and tried them on a month later and they no longer fit.. Did I mention that we are also REI members with the supposed benefit of returns up to a year? Based off this experience, I sincerely doubt that they will honor that as well. My wife really likes the place but I am not a fan of subjective "100% satisfaction guarantee" return policy's.. Their Corporate offices should change the "100%" to "limited satisfaction maybe"?

College clothes too.

Scheels is like a department store, Bass Pro shops, & a small cafe combined. Lol. Two levels of just everything you can imagine. Sports cards, memorabilias, grilling (the wall of bbq & meat seasonings!), camping gear, shooting gear, golf, fishing, athletics, jerseys, shoes, legos... they have a ferris wheel inside the building, a candy store, and a cafe serving snacks and small bites. Overall, a very cool store. Reasonable pricing.

Went into the store hoping to find a certain brand of 9mm pistol ammunition, but the shelves were…read moreliterally empty. I asked an employee if there was an end-cap of 9mm ammunition and he told me that there wasn't. I commented that their shelves had that empty Covid look, and he told me that they hadn't restocked the shelves yet. I wiped the dusty metal shelf, showed him the significant dust my hand picked up, and looked him in the eye. He knew he'd been caught lying, but insisted that morning deliveries hadn't been put out.yet. I commented that he should wear a mask if there was that much dust in their ventilation. Going to the gun counter, there was one employee behind the counter and more than a dozen people waiting to be helped. There is premium ammunition behind the counter, but it's far enough away that you can't read the brand name. Judging by the number of people waiting to be helped, I'm not standing idly for an hour or two to ask what ammunition brands they have. Nowhere else in the store is there 14-15 people waiting to be helped -- and there's inky two sales clerks working the firearms counter. You'd think that store management would add people in firearm sales, as I've had precisely the same experience of actually waiting more than an hour to find out if they carry a certain product needed the next day at a training event. I have no idea what this store is doing. Neither do they.

I came here a few days ago looking for vertical ascend gear out of caves. I was greeted by Jason and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I needed very specific gear, and Jason was very patient with me and showed me where I could find sit harnesses, chest harness, chest ascender, hand ascende, foot loops, etc. I didn't find exactly what I needed but got a good idea on the things I need to build a personalized vertical gear set for myself. And of course, while I was looking for cave gear, I wandered around looking at all the fabulous gear they have, I was like a kid in a candy store. I could spend hours in here. I started looking at hydration packs as I need to replace mine and found a very nice military edition and will come back to purchase this soon. I also saw plenty of Petzl bags, and very tempted to purchase another. They also carry so much Petzl gear, you will be in heaven here. Also, some great hiking shoes and some sleek, but we'll performing water shoes. I then wandered into kayaks and Jason even showed me the Padillac they have! I've gotten into paddleboarding and kayaking for the summer and now want one of each! This place rents them and sells them. I then went to check out some wetsuit gear, and they have a really nice selection of wetsuits, gloves, booties, etc. I really love this place and it is definitely gonna bankrupt me, but so worth it. High quality gear, more extensive selection than REI and the staff here know what they are talking about. If you need something specialized, this is the place for you. I'll be back here soon!

Even when I've had very few hiccups which was from one online order i made. They were able to fix it. I can't recommend this place enough! It maybe pricer depending on your budget.

So glad I signed up to be a member and paid for this awesome service.

Just Roughin' It was offering informative informational tips led by Debbie and we jumped at the opportunity to hear her advice. She covered things to know before you go, nutritional information before, during and after the hike, the best time to go, what you can expect when the rims are open/closed, route options, trail etiquette, weather and what to wear and bring on your hike. There was a PDF that Debbie put together. We purchased the PDF along with a durable map and plan on returning to purchase other gear. They also have gear that is available for rent if you don't want to purchase all the equipment. Just Roughin' It also offers trip planning, workshops, events and custom training programs. I feel more confident in knowing what to expect and how to prepare for my Grand Canyon Rim to Rim adventure.
