I clearly do not update my reviews enough. My last 5 star review for Outdoor Provisions was 8 long…read moreyears ago, shame on me. I recently checked them out for hiking gear. This was a first for this sole purpose. Mainly boots, but also packs. They compete with REI no doubt. But they have an edge in my opinion on service. My service with Chase was phenomenal from entering the store to showing me every aspect of technical gear I would need on a two week European hike, or even local in the Appalachian. I walked out knowing much more and still researching. They did not have the specific hard to locate Lowa boots I wanted to try on. They are rarely retail, closest is NC. No purchases yet, but soon.

I mean You can't even see the sign from the road. Luckily a kind lady who waited on me Gabe some really good directions to get there. Was looking for some sew-on Lieutenant patches, something they previously had in stock but now they don't. Can order them online but I needed them right away. So I left without. The store is small, a decent stock but nothing really spectacular. The prices are decent and the customer service is great. With that being said I would suggest shopping elsewhere if you are not in the area. I drove a great distance for some patches but they didn't have them. Happy Yelping.

Okay, but not really my cup of tea: I went to a local store to look for old school military-grade…read morehiking gear the ilk of like my CO father used to have and bring home. There were no old school Army fatigue pants, no jungle boots, no strong leather duty belts. Instead they had knock off cargo pants that lacked the double stitching or buttons and cost double what they should, regular hiking shoes at double the cost, no canteens and the staff didn't seem interested in helping or even knowledgeable about what certain things were. I prefer Army Navy stores where there are real vets who know what you are talking about when you ask for something, are happy to help, have lots of inventory, and have actual real MREs, real steel canteens for long hikes, real camo tens and rucksacks. They're ok for some superficial stuff but not what I was hoping for.

I believe the "boss/manager" was out on the floor assisting her coworkers set up merchandise. That's a sign of a true leader and they all had great personalities and worked well together.

The back of the store does have a mall entrance and it's located right by Maggie McFly's restaurant.

Also, our cashier was so nice and thoughtful. She really tried to pack our candles the safest way. She mentioned she wished you all had something to wrap things in considering the type of items you sell. I have to say, I agree. Overall, I say, In the area? Check Them Out!

The spacious counter is conveniently located in the center of the store. It's staffed with a plentiful number of knowledgeable employees who are both friendly & helpful. Our quest for the day was for a Norfolk City Permit for my sister's new kayak. Although the Lake Smith/Lake Lawson Natural Area is in & maintained by Virginia Beach, the waterway winding through it is owned by Norfolk & requires a permit. It's far more convenient than applying for one on line & having to wait for the stickers to come. The second purchase was to buy a new CG approved life jacket since my friend in CG reserves told me they were monitoring kayakers after recent accidents. Her previous use of my life jackets from the boat I sold was to use them as back rests. No can do anymore!! They had a supply but none that fit my sister. So we left with only the City of Norfolk boat (kayak) license & sticker. It's a convenient & a valuable resource for us to be able to obtain the permit quickly and close. The same can also be said for fishermen & those who frequent the nearby waterways, inlets & the Chesapeake Bay.

I don't believe Ghost Army sells any of the uniforms or guns though. We actually meant to go to a shop that's two stores down, but it was nice walking around and seeing the history behind all of the old war gear and uniforms they have on display. The two men working at the shop were very friendly and explained the history behind a few of the artifacts they had on display. Definitely recommend visiting if you're into historic military memorabilia! They have a bunch of neat items to look at!
