In an attempt to find an upgrade immediately, I went to REI. At REI you'll find an assortment of items for your active lifestyle. There's items for camping, for hiking, for skiing, etc... The coats are sorted by brand. I looked through, they had just one, in one color and one size. I asked the associate, they told me I could order online. Mind blowing info, isn't it? Unfortunately my online experience wasn't much better. Maybe everyone else is looking to replace their coats at the same time. I walked out empty handed. It might be worth stopping by, since the rest of their inventory looked like it might cater to certain lifestyles.

I was told people get served in the order they arrive, but that would be a slow time so it should be fine. I arrived at that time, a Tuesday around 1.30 during a non-school vacation day. Signing in on the sheet by the door, all names above were crossed off giving the impression we would be next. 4 people were in mixed stages of trying on shoes with only 1 employee on the sales floor. He avoided looking at me. Within a few minutes, 1 patron bought her shoes. Great, I thought. Closer to getting fitted for needed insoles and new sneakers! A man walked in, went over to the employee asking for a particular person. 'That's me' said the employee. 'Have a seat and I'll be with you shortly'. The employee NEVER acknowledged me. Waiting was a waste of time given I was going to be passed over. I left. Not enough employees to take care of all the patrons. And a sloppy system of who gets taken care of, when. This happened Tuesday 3/24/26.

Before I jumped to medical intervention, I decided to go to Fleet Feet to see if anyone could help me. I figured if anyone had experienced with foot pain, it would be runners. An employee, Dave, had me hop on two pieces of tech that measured my feet, gait, and walking pattern. He was able to identify my size, arch height, foot width, and level of stability. Apparently, I was wearing the wrong type of sneakers and lacked arch support. He fitted me with insoles and a few weeks later, wide toed sneakers. Since then I have had ZERO pain! I realized I had been wearing the wrong type of sneakers my WHOLE LIFE. I am genuinely amazed at how much easier running, walking, even standing is now. I owe Dave my life. Thank you guys so much!

The college-aged gentleman who was working, didn't seem too interested in helping us and was only willing to sell us the most expensive helmet in the store. I explained our situation and he basically pushed us out of the store. I might have to buy equipment from here in the future, but I am very hesitant, due to how I was treated. As a specialty sporting goods store, the needs of the customer should be embraced, and employees are expected to be able to recommend the appropriate equipment for all price points. Do better.

I know its big on Long Island and in Maryland. That's about it. But I also know that my 13-year old cousin from California is a big lacrosse guy and plays on his high school's lacrosse team. I also know we'll be visiting him soon. So when my wife had the brilliant idea of visiting Lacrosse Unlimited in Avon to see what cool stuff we could get for him, it seemed like a great idea. It sure was! I figured they'd have lacrosse sticks and balls, and of course they did. They also had lacrosse T-Shirts, sweatshirts, gym shorts, wool caps, socks, games, books, and everything lacrosse. Hell -they even had lacrosse greeting cards. The young guy that waited on us was super -he basically walked around the whole store and looked at what a 13-year old might like. He was very helpful and personable, and it was evident that he sure loved the sport, So if anyone in your personal world is a lacrosse guy or girl, this is a place you really need to visit. Even if its just for the lacrosse birthday card!!

"I once knew a pirate named Bob Bob was a drunken old slob…read moreBob was about as dumb as a rock But Bob made it to the top" (Willie Nelson) There used to be 13 Bob's Stores in Connecticut. After the Avon location just closed (although it will be moved and reopened to a nearby smaller location), they were down to just two. So as of right now, the only Bob's stores still standing are in Newington and Manchester. We visited Newington for the first time yesterday, and we had a very favorable impression. The store is big and bright and neat as a pin. Truth be told, the place looked gorgeous. Not a jersey or pair of sweatpants was out of place. My wife was looking for a pair of sneakers, and found a nice pair for under $50. I was in the market for a plain white T Shirt for an upcoming Tie Dye project, and I found a very nice one on a markdown rack for like $6. The store has sales everywhere, so if you are patient and look around carefully you can do very well here. I think we sure did.

My husband went to put in his rewards and she'd already rung up his order. My husband said ok, well can you retroactively give me my rewards and she said she'd have to totally re ring everything up. Obviously that wasn't going to happen so my husband said yeah, no, guess I'm missing out. To which she then said (and I quote) Jesus Christ it was just a mistake. As she chomped on her gum some more. I certainly hope she's not being transferred to a different location because Bob's will be losing our business. Oh. And we bought almost $400 worth of merchandise.

The further I looked in to the rear of the store, the more I liked the pieces. There are some formal dresses, some purses, shoes and jewelry pieces that I would be interested in when the occasion presents its self. They also have a sale section downstairs.
