They have a very large and nice building easy to find right off of highway 8 heading toward High Rock Lake. Inside they had a pretty decent selection of clothing, hats, footwear, etc. Slightly outsdoorsy type stuff with a good bit of casual clothing as well. They had some sales, and we actually wound up buying a few items! Beside that they had fishing, camping, kayaking, disk golf. Just a pretty good assortment of everything. They certainly don't have the same assortment and selection as one of the huge outdoors stores, but most of the items where from a slightly higher quality brand than your average items at those stores as well. As for prices, I wouldn't call it "drive out of your way to save" type prices, but comparable to what you would pay online for the handful of items I looked at closely. They also have a large boat showroom and a few golf carts, but I did not look too closely, however, tucked behind the boats is a small coffee shop. Would definitely be a nice spot to stop early in the morning to grab your coffee and whatever you needed for the lake! Overall, the employees were very helpful to us, they had a decent selection, and I will probably be back if I am over in that area!

I received an email a few days later stating that the top had been worn with evidence of sweat stains on it. I was told I could not return it but could receive a store credit. I challenged this with an email and haven't heard back. They are a small company and made mention of this to me when I requested the return. I'd say this is part of their plan so they don't have to return items. I certainly had not worn the item and had intended to purchase the larger size longer with other Wilson products as there isn't a tennis store near me. I won't be doing business with them again nor do I want their store credit! Be aware before you order on line!

I will go out of my way to purchase skis elsewhere as I'm in the market for some right now.

From the outside it's a beautiful store and very large . When we walked in there was plenty to see and we perused the aisles . I made my way to the guns counter which is what I wanted to see . Service ? Hah ok . No one said a word . No " can I help you ? How are you folks doing ? Nothing . I said to myself they're probably distracted or whatnot but no . More less chumming it up with one another . As far as the selection goes I saw what I originally had seen on line and at a decent price . If I was to order elsewhere I'd have to deal with shipping etc so the cost wasn't the best but it evened out . We stood there for a few and watched this fellow walk right on by and nope not a word . By then the wide am was fed up and loudly said Hi how are you ? And the. He spoke up . By then we were done so no you cannot help me and I will take my business elsewhere.

It's already a pain to get in and out of this store/parking lot (you're great if you're only coming from one particular side). They have brands I've never heard of but also brands you do know of - but even these, there's little stock of it. Hardly any variety honestly. It's a massive store but feels very "we're about to go on a big closing sale" with the small amount of stock to choose from (particularly clothing). I looked at cups and yetis one time and just looks like a lot of those supplies have been sitting and picking up dust. Customer service: literally non existent. I never seen a person on the floor in my life there, only at registers...which I give them props for being really nice at the front. But outside of that, nothing.

Apparently I'm no longer sensitive or woke enough (or apologetic enough as an old white man) to satisfy your "20-year" kayak clerk. I called about a "Seals 1.7" neoprene skirt, 2XL neoprene tunnel. The BROAD you have working asked me the "cockpit size". I said to her, somewhat sarcastically: "It's the MODEL." I was firm but not rude. Everyone, at local stores, online simply cares what model skirt. I had spoken to Get Outdoors, REI, and Great Outdoors in Greensboro. Each clerk knew the skirt by MODEL. I had previously been instructing people about the particular boat. None of them seemed interested. Apparently it's a one-size-fits-all skirt. That's what it's ordered by. Your feminist clerk (and PLEASE, let's not elevate the "split tail" to "sales associate") did not ask me the model of the kayak. And NOBODY else was this sensitive. So... I will order online from here on, and will never use either Great Outdoors close to my house. THERE! Your woke, sensitive CLERK can "rest easily."

I wore those sneakers until there was no sole left! Fast forward to this week and I found myself back at off N running for a new pair of sneakers. Upon my first visit this week, I wasn't very happy. The guy who wasn't occupied ignored me when I walked in. So I wandered around the store a bit waiting until someone came available. The girl working who was helping another customer kindly told me she would be with me in just a minute. Another customer walked in and that same guy who ignored me, went right on up & helped her. At this point, I was slightly annoyed. After about 10 minutes he came over and "helped" me. I had a few questions about price matching and coupons. The mans responses were rude and matter-of-factly like he was the boss and they wouldn't honor any coupons. Honestly, he seemed uninterested & flat out lazy. I left disappointed and unhappy. After sitting on this for a few days, I decided to call & speak with a manager. Instead I got to speak with the owner & tell him about my experience! Not only was he apologetic, he explained price matching online, what he would do for me and my bad experience...AND offered a price match on my competitor retail coupon! Talk about EXCELLENT service! I went in within the hour & the owner John went ahead and fit me for a shoe. Not only did he take his time, he was conscious of prices after I disclosed I was looking under $130. He rocks! Five stars for the excellent management, customer service, and great experience! I will definitely be back!

They were happy to help us pick our size & let us try on a ton of shoes. They also have a decent selection of danskio, Tom's, Vionic, brooks, and other brands. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because it seemed like most of the shoes we picked up, they didn't have our size in stock which was disappointing. I also wish they had more Tom's shoes, specifically the wedges because they mostly had flats. Either way, it's a great store to have in the area! They're also open until 8 which is a plus.
