In addition, although I don't need the hardcore camping and hiking equipment, they do have a large selection of shoes, shirts, hats, beanies, pants, etc. that an indoorsman like me (lol) will find useful. What I also thought was cool was that they offer some classes like "Camping Basics" and "How to Pack a Backpack." While some of these classes cost $50 for non-members, others are free and open to the public. Lastly, I loved their selection of dog equipment, which I could definitely see myself coming back for, as they had a few items that I haven't even seen at stores like PetSmart or Petco. All-in-all, REI's a really fun store, which I think that anybody, regardless of experience level, can visit and enjoy!

Shoutout to staff member Anna for helping me with my hiking boots. --Ambience-- Similar to all other REI, it looks like you are sucks into an outdoor adventure and every area is there to help choose and decide on your selection. --Service/Staff-- Anna helped me with my hiking boots and walking up and down the demo rock area and gave good recommendations on comfort and fit. --Products/Service-- I am super happy with my hiking boots and the return policy and being a member has its perks. Price can be on the high end, but it makes up in quality and service with their return policy. --Capacity-- The store is huge. I wouldn't be surprised if they can service 100+ people during a Black Friday rush. --Overall-- Outdoor equipment and accessories, this is my first stop!

I actually found myself wandering in after noticing their huge selection of vintage Dooney & Burke bags from the 1980s, including the same exact style that I had strapped to my body that day. The shopkeepers had eyes like hawks, coming over and asking me all about my bag, which was a gift from my sister and is in super amazing condition. And then this older gent that was shopping chimed in and was like, "What's the deal with these bags? My daughter asked for one for Christmas and I have no idea what I'm doing. Tell me everything." So we did. I browsed a little bit. The merchandise is generally high quality vintage (plenty of recognizable brand names) so the prices vary from medium to high. Most of my time there was spent chatting with what I assume is the owner about all sorts of things though: Dooney & Burkes, other awesome vintage bags, Minneapolis, the 70+ degree weather.

I went in to sell some clothes, and I asked the man there if it was a consignment store. He told me…read more"no". I was confused, and when I looked it up, it does say consignment. He sent me to a buy/sell/trade establishment, and but they gave me $10 for several silk ties bought at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and still in the wrapping as well as some amazing clothing that my mother had before she died (from Jones of New York and Talbotts, almost never worn). I felt like he thought I wouldn't have anything because of the way I was dressed. (I don't dress up to show my status in the world, and clothes are not that important to me.) I really despise what feels like prejudice, and I cannot believe that he lied straight to my face and didn't even tell me of the other consignment store on the street.

A man who seemed to be a regular customer was engaging in conversation with the store manager and the other female during his transaction. When I stepped up to the counter I said "Hello," and stated that I was ready to checkout. Both females behind the counter acted as if they did not hear me, and continued the conversation with the long since paid customer, so I walked out. I came back into the store to discover that they were still engaged in the same conversation. I told the cashier, who happened to be the manager that I did not appreciate the way I was ignored. The other female got an attitude. I told them that I made a special trip to the store to shop and I didn't appreciate being ignored. She snatched to top off the counter and I asked for the corporate office contact information. I asked the clerk for her name and she scribbled something on the back. A customer did apologize for the situation. I was there to have the same experience as the person who they were ignoring me for!!!

I appreciate that they are open on Sunday's because a bunch of them were not. The store is full of fun, kitchy items and is very well merchandised. I categorize this type of store as being full of things nobody needs, but that doesn't mean you don't want something fun. It's the perfect place to find a gift for a friend that you have an inside joke with or a great accessory for a party. My only gripe is that the prices were significantly higher than I expected, but I do understand that they probably have a high rent in that space. I ended up buying a sardine jewelry dish that will now hold my sardine gold pendant when it's not on my neck. It was the perfect item to give my chain a permanent home so that made it worth the twenty bucks.

A waste of time, every time. Absolute failure of a store…read more Let me say, I wanted to love this store, it looks like a million bucks, appears to have a big selection of products. Once you get inside, you're facing off against scalper-level pricing, confused employees, and an absolute unwillingness to perform any level of customer service. I'm tired of coming here for broken arcade games, jacked up sky-high prices, confused employees, and broken promises. This was truly the last straw, if this business has any sense of customer service, or integrity, I'd welcome them to reach out to me to make this right. Most of their selection is kept "in the back" where you can't obtain pricing without having them make a big production about the trouble they're going through. I called in asking if they had a specific product for sale, Riftbound (This is 11/5, Riftbound Released 10/31) I was informed they had product, and plenty of it at $6 per booster pack. I drove out to the store, excited, only to arrive at the store to be told that they were not allowed to sell any product until tomorrow, and I should come back. I told them I understand that the event is tomorrow, but I called in, spoke to someone, drove all the way down to the store, could we possibly come to an arrangement where I'd be allowed to buy a limited number of packs, or pay today for pickup tomorrow? The answer was no, and that if I wanted product, despite being told to come down, that they had it available, was that I would have to come back, pay for the pre-release event and then maybe they'd be able to sell me product. The last event I attended here was a catastrophe, nobody knew what was going on, it started late, the whole event was a haphazard mess. Let me go on further to state that I went to a pre-release event at their competitor, The Side Deck, and not only did that go over great, I was treated like a customer, a friend, even, I felt welcome, I was sold product (limited, but I understand that.) The pre-release was organized, friendly, and a great experience. Short of this business taking a chance to reach out to someone who used to be a very valuable customer, I can't do it anymore, I am tired of the hassles, the confusion, and being dragged out for nothing. I will be updating this review one week from today (11/12/25) to let people who see this know whether or not the store reached out to make this right - if they choose to do so, awesome, this will be updated, and I will accept that accidents happen to the best of us, and fences can be mended. The right thing to do would've been to offer to sell me a limited amount of product. (I understand if there is a release coming, product can't be sold in bulk, but selling a few boosters would've been the right answer.)

When I travel for work, I like to visit local game stores to see what they have (the FLGS in my…read moreneck of the woods has a very small selection). I was totally blown away by the amount of board games, war games, RPG's, and TCG's they had available. Not to mention a ton of accessories and expansions. Also, a wide selection of collectibles (my wife might not shop for board games, but she'd love the Jim Shore figurines). Everything was very reasonably priced as well. I wish I lived closer because the space for gaming was huge, and the staff was extremely polite and friendly as well. I'll definitely be back!
