** - Above and Beyond Customer Service**…read more I had a truly outstanding experience at Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach this Father's Day. I initially came in to purchase a 9-foot board I had my eye on. After deciding to buy it, I stepped out briefly to grab my son so he could help me load it into my truck. When I returned, the board was gone--needless to say, I was extremely disappointed. I spoke with a salesperson named Dave, who explained that the board actually wasn't supposed to be on the sales floor--it had been custom-made for the shop and was pulled by the general manager and placed in an office. Even so, Dave didn't stop there. He took the time to listen to my situation and understand how much this meant to me, especially as it was intended to be my Father's Day gift. Dave went out of his way to help and connected me with the manager, Chip. Chip took things to the next level--he made calls to the general manager and even reached out to corporate to see if anything could be done. After about 45 minutes of effort, he came back with incredible news: they got approval to sell me the board. Neither Dave nor Chip had to go to those lengths, but they did--and that level of customer care is rare. They could have easily said no and moved on, but instead they went out of their way to make my day. As a local, I'll be out riding waves on this board and proudly telling this story. Ron Jon didn't just sell me a surfboard--they delivered an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Dave, Chip, and the corporate team for making my Father's Day!

This store makes me want to say, "No wayyyyy.....way!" and "Excellent!" and "Nothing was bogus" -…read moreaccording to Bill and Ted (it's making my son cringe in the background). Largest surf shop in the world at 52,000 square feet of cool, rad, and gnarly, awesome things (shirts, jewelry, swim wear, accessories, beauty products, home decor, surf boards, rash guards, sunglasses, etc). If you can walk out without buying a shirt, keychain or sticker, I would either be impressed, or think something was wrong with you. Free parking (time limit) in the back of the shop. Long arse lines at all the registers, but that's a testament to how popular this place is. My husband who is an (ex-)surfer, totally loved this shop. He said visiting this store was one of the highlights of the trip.

Stopped here for a few drinks. Good service and music. Navigator Bloody Mary's were awesome.read more

Looking for parking at Daytona Beach was so easy and no hassle compared to other beaches. This…read morelocation is a small gift shop that offers beach parking for $10 for the full day! That is quite a steal! While walking around the store they had the bathroom for public use and i even got to meet the dog himself Salty! Salty was so friend that it let me pet it and give it scratches. I was able to get some cute ankle bracelets for souvenirs which wasn't too pricey. They had lots of options for sunglasses tshirts and stickers. The staff was friendly and able to assist me quickly to pay for my products. Overall it is worth stopping by even if its just to meet Salty!

This is a unique store to say the least, located in the back corner of a small mostly empty strip…read moremall, it's definitely not in plain sight or easily found if you aren't familiar with the area. A business associate of mine needed to purchase a few articles of clothing after changing his travel plans and wasn't interested in visiting the local Walmart or Bealls so we decided to check out this place since they seem to have somewhat of a niche business when it comes to offering name brand sports wear like Nike and Under Amour just to name a few - the prices don't seem competitive with the brand's outlet stores but then again you can get name brand clothing in remote locations, you can also get baseball gloves, bats and soccer balls. Seems like a good business model unless you're a stock holder or employee and you're worried about the 100's of store closings or lack of customers. We were the only customers in the store during this mid-afternoon visit, the only thing more empty than the store itself was this strip-mall's parking lot although it does seem that some commuters may use the available parking spots for long term parking. The stores was very clean and organized and the staff was very friendly and seemed somewhat surprised that we were there, to me it reminds me of a General Dollar Store only for clothing and sports equipment but much less busy. Not knowing much about the financial situation of Hibbett Sports I don't know what lies ahead for this company but from what I see, I don't expect these guys to survive long unless they have one hell of a online business and the revenue supports the big executive salaries and that alone may keep them open for sometime. They were founded in 1945 so they've been open longer than I've been alive and I'm just now getting around to visiting them so what do I know. I'd return in a pinch it's just not the kind of place that comes to mind when I think of shopping...

I recently went in this store for the first time in search of a particular item, and noticed that I…read morewas the only customer. There was a young woman behind the counter (who used "like-uh" in every sentence) talking to a man who seemed to be a co-worker, or possibly a manager. She was telling him about the habits of another female co-worker. It sounded a lot like snitching. After spending about 15 minutes in the store, circling the merchandise several times, and receiving no acknowledgement from this pair ("hi" "welcome" "need any help?", etc.) or even eye contact, I left. Never will I enter this store again.

I found this 'Groove Belt,' which is pretty much a game changer for me. It has a magnetic buckle that has two heavy duty hooks built in to keep it from coming undone unless you intend to unbuckle it, the belt is also 'one size fits most' so you can adjust it to almost any size waist. You can choose to leave the slack intact so that it infinitely adjustable for as long as you own the belt or you can cut some of the slack if its bothersome. The belt even stretches with you when you bend over to work so it never feels uncomfortable when keeping it somewhat taunt when my shirt is tucked in for the workplace; like I said, a complete game changer for me. We stopped in the Saturday after Thanksgiving and they still had a great deal on the belt. It normally costs $60 but was marked down to $39, I probably should have bought two of these things but I wanted to see how long it lasts in my work environment, only time will tell. Since we were there shopping, we noticed they had great deals going on for BCG training attire and all Magellan clothing. I purchased several pairs of BCG shorts and workout pants and one Magellan top at 50% off which was a great deal. Staff here have always been super friendly and helpful and the store is kept immaculate. I highly recommend stopping in to check them out if you're in the area.

It has been right on A1A,…read moreacross from many of the major resorts on the beach, for years and I always stop in for some new Gator gear when I am in town. They have all kinds of Gator clothing for men, women, and children, and lots of cool gift items like flags, license plates, jewelry, mugs, stickers, and keychains. They even have 2 baby gators, Albert & Alberta, in a big tank in the store! In addition to the UF stuff; they have lots of Daytona souvenirs, t-shirts, and Florida-resort wear. Prices are good and the employees are friendly and helpful. It's a great place for Gator fans and tourists to find unique clothing and gifts.

I'm such a huge fan for supporting small, local, businesses. Dougout Sportswear is exactly that -…read moresmall and local. The company is owned by a gentleman named Doug and he's a one man band - he does it all. I recently needed to get some uniform shirts embroidered for work - I had purchased shirts from Doug previously and I was thoroughly satisfied with the quality of the garment and with the embroidery. So, when I needed some more shirts, he was the first person that I thought of. I dropped off two shirts that I had purchased else where for them to be embroidered. I was shocked when he said that it would be $10 for the two shirts. He told me they'd be done in a few days and they were! The embroidery is absolutely spot on and I could not be more impressed with the customer service that I received. I would definitely recommend Dougout Sportswear to any number of my friends!!
