Its such a great neighborhood gathering place. The decor is very Texas like, which gives it a unique vibe. The addition of sofas and comfortable seating is a great combination and inviting living room space. I love coming here. Its one of my favorites at the square.

His staff was absolutely the most team oriented group with all providing help and no one trying to be superhero know-it-all which happens way too often. Their prices can't be beat, and speaking from personal experience , it is a great escape from the drama of having horses and/or dogs in surgery at the best Vet Hospital in the world (totally unbiased as I am 3rd generation Longhorn). Go enjoy the low pressure, high intellect of this great store!

I ventured into Bear Mountain right after the holidays to get properly fitted for hiking boots…read morebefore an overseas backpacking trip. I've done a bit of day hiking before, but never been professionally fitted or been on multi-day trips. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I could not have been more pleased. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The guy who helped me spent a lot of time answering questions and helping me be sure I got the best fit- and I ended up with a less expensive boot than I expected (which never happens). They had really good sales at that time, and I ended up coming back the next day to get a new pack. On the following day, I found an equally friendly and knowledgable staff. A friendly staff even after the holidays is the sign of a good shop, I think. Anyway, If you are looking for hiking, camping, or kayaking gear- start here.

Looking forward to taking my son here one day - that in itself says a LOT.

Shop is filled with firearms and accessories with affordable prices. I'd like to see package deals such as multiple mags and a bag for an affordable, but they don't. Staff stated that they do have a firearm with attachments, but nothing like a package deal during a holiday. Ample parking.

This is without a doubt one of the top 3 gun shops I've ever been to.

The selection? Great. They actually have rifles out where you can handle them. Imagine that! Their handgun selection and their used gun selections are very good. They also carry a nice selection of black powder revolvers, something a lot of similar shops have given up on. If you want something they don't have, they'll get it for you. The price will be competitive. Don't ignore this place, or skip it "because all gun shops are alike." They're not. This one stands out among the others in the area. I highly recommend it.

The atmosphere was welcoming and family-friendly, with plenty of opportunities to explore the store while enjoying the activities.

Whole Earth Provision Co. has always been a great place to find outdoor gear, unique gifts, and adventure-inspired products, and events like this make the shopping experience even more enjoyable.

The first time I went I felt like I was borderline being followed around by staff without even being spoken to. They have a lot of potential to be great if they just had friendlier rapport with customers.
