Walked around trying to get stuff I could easily buy online ( cheaper mind you) Three employees one complaining about work and sitting on counter not working. Other two oblivious to customers. Only spoke when I purchased something. No greeting, no welcome nothing. Do better or you will lose like the rest.

Came in with my teenage son and a gift card burning a hole in his pocket. He was looking for a…read morehoodie or long sleeve jacket. Staff were incredibly helpful, to the point of pulling all the small sized flannels, hoodies, and jackets and giving them to my son to try on. Great selection of clothing that is easy to find based on brand, men's, women's, kids, etc. While my son was trying on I checked out the new and used boards and found a few that I'd love to add to my quiver. The used boards were in very good shape and were market prices. Love that they also support local non-profits via the Mustache for Kids charity foundation.

Customer service at the register was no help.

Wow! What an epic store. Walking into here made me wish I was the opposite of a minimalist. Or at…read morethe least that I had some camping or outdoor gear with a hole in it needing replaced. When you enter in one section of the building you think you've seen it all. But here it's like they slowly expanded by adding segments of neighboring buildings and coming up with something hella dope to shove in the new spot. To start with I was perplexed by the broad selection of colorific ukuleles positioned next to a litany of hats. Can anyone say Instagram-worthy gear? Somebody told these guys that ukuleles and patch hats were in, so they jumped on the bandwagon. Slide to the back and whada we got here? Longboards. You tryna cruise down a mountain pass wearing a 3-percenter hat playing Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" on a ukulele and somehow drinking Ocean Spray for TikTok likes? YUP! Right here; come getcho contradictions. And after a long day of sidewalk surfing, find yourself right back here at the BAR taking in the scenic views of kayaks strung from the rafters (there's a pun there I just know it) and dreamy tents on high. Wait is that a flannel? Need! Or maybe you're too beat from your hike. Sleep in and drop by for a nitro and double down on the hang-ten. Gnarly, brother! This shop is righteous!

Came in today to find some New Bern merchandise and this place does not disappoint! I loved the…read moreflexible almost rubbery type cups they had plus they were on sale..lots of sweatshirts and tshirts with New Bern on them! The staff was very helpful telling me the prices and what was on sale. Then I turn and on side of store was a small sip and shop.. cheapest beers in new bern from what I got told..lol.. all kinds of beers to choose from. I will definitely have to bring a friend and come back for that. The very nice lady I spoke to that works there said it keeps the customers around for a bit longer lol.. pretty smart plan if you ask me! I walked further into the store and they have all kinds of clothing and things for the person that enjoys the outdoors.. prices were not bad at all and with sale going on made it even better. I look forward to coming back and spending more time. The life is good store is right next door too and attached inside to this store..

Beware of their return policy! Worst experience Ive had in years of shopping daily online. I bought…read morea set of tensor trucks and tried them inside on a rug for less than a minute and knew I didnt like them becasue they were to turny so I packed them up nicely to return them. Then realized I had to pay $10 for the return but no big deal I should have known that. When they receive the trucks they wont accept them becasue they have been mounted and there are small marks at the mount points and if I want them back I have to pay for shipping again. I complain and we go back and forth a bit but I lose and pay another $10 for shipping to get them back where they just sit in a pile. Ive spent 1000s since then but always make sure to avoid this place and stick to SkateWarehouse where they always have 60 days free returns or Tactics, CCS, TGM, NHS or anywhere else. If I were them I would have kept the trucks with the mark and sold them at a small discount and keep me as a customer. They would have made much more money.
