I've been buying and trading in my kids skis/boots here for years and renting my own gear. They…read moreare very knowledgeable about fit and willing to cut you a deal on a rental if you are traveling for say a week or so, but only actually skiing one or two days. It's more convenient to pick up skis at home and take them straight to the mountain than waiting with a kid to rent and miss time on the slopes. I was unsure about buying a pair of boots and he let me rent the boots and offered some cash back to buy them once I returned if I liked them. I didn't like the boots because of an ankle issue I have, but he knew which boots to recommend AND that they would fit the old bindings on my skis better anyway. I walked away happy. Special kudos to Chris who was super patient with my kid during a very busy day.

Great group of really knowledgeable employees. We went in for boots, and although they did not end…read moreup having exactly what we needed, hey had great advice and a willingness to help that exceeded expectation.

I returned after a year from my first very good shopping experience…read more This visit I was introduced to Rosie who was so very thorough, patient and so pleasant. I explained my foot problems as I had just returned from my Podiatry Dr Visit. Explained my need for the ideal shoe for work and for non-working days. All the while as I'm trying on shoes she set me up to try, she's juggling other customers graciously and successfully, also stocking shoes. I felt very relieved and happy with my purchases. I highly commend her in her customer service and professionalism. P.S. Several other employees on the floor were pleasant and greeting customers. It is nice to see that because it's not pleasant to shop in a store and employees act as if you're invisible. Thank you for having superb employees!! Sincerely, Katherine C.

Nice spot that offers essential workers a discount!…read more Came here on Fourth of July with my mom and dog. We brought a life jacket for our dog and was able to include him in the kayak for no extra cost! We are beginner kayakers so it took us a while to get used to paddling and directing the direction of the kayak. The kayaking route was decent and safe. We didn't have to worry about currents taking us out to sea. Nice staff and nice little shop! We had fun!

I am just amazed that they can get that much inventory inside but when you look out back outside and you see all the boards, paddle boards, sail boards, all the boards in the back it's amazing to see. The place is well lighted and fully stopped, and the employees there are very happy and eager to help you. I would recommend these guys at any time to come in help you figure out what you need if you're a newbie or to help you if you're an old salt of the sea.

And I explained to Tobias his mistake and once again he brought me the wrong size shoe. And Megan brought more shoes out that Tobias didn't bring out for me to decide if I was interested.

It wasn't the color i was looking for though.

Set my previously purchased gallon of unopened paint on the counter and the sales person grabbed it…read moreand set it directly in front of her and rung me up for around $197. I told her I just brought it in to return it. She decided that was the time she needed to go take a bathroom break and called a man to come cover for her who yells at her saying he didn't have time for that because he had so much to do!! But here he comes in a huge huff and asks me for my receipt and then looks at the can and said "no, no way...we can't return this because it has some rust on top" THIS IS THE SAME GALLON OF PAINT I WAS JUST RUNG UP IN A SALE FOR BY THE OTHER PERSON! I didn't say anything but you just sold it to me a month ago and he now starts shouting at me that he is positive as soon as a can comes in with any rust on top they discard it immediately and would never sell me that can. Literally tried to sell it me a few seconds before.... I said he can see my receipt under my membership and all frantic attempting to take my member number 3 times and kept messing up the number but wont slow down or listen. He finds the transaction and says nope no can't do it because it is from way too long ago and looks to tell me 7/13/2025, which is last month. I said it is obviously unopened and spoke to a store manager before coming in and if he could get Brian. And he tells me he is the store manager and Brian only manages inventory. I asked for a copy of my receipt And he said no and that he needed to ask me to leave the store immediately! He took the gallon of paint and pulled it toward himself and I said he was unbelievably rude and before I could finish he was shouting again... telling me he is not rude!! This was all after having to watch the prior cashier badger and belittled a customer rolling her eyes, and making other noises a 5 year old would make when exhausted at a customer already spending $300.00 because he was not simply agreeing with what she was incoherently mumbling about a gold member and refused to answer his questions or explain what she even saying to him until all the joy left his face and he just said yes do it to get away from her, it was my turn next.

The perfect place to either: 1 - donate nice women's clothing (as like-new as possible) to be…read morescored buy women who need something nicer than they are in a position to buy and might need for a job interview, etc., Or: 2 - if you need some clothing to look the way you'd like to be seen for that special opportunity, be sure to stop by and check out Bloom. It won't be a waste of your time. Drop off what is nice but not needed so that someone who really needs it can have it! Note the specific open hours and donations accepted times on their website. Tip re. Dropping off items: Donations are received at the rear of the building, down the immediately adjacent driveway. Back down it if you can. It's difficult to turn a car around at the bottom!

As you may know if you follow my reviews on Thrift stores, I am a reseller, so please remember that…read moreall my reviews of thrift stores are given from that perspective, which may differ from the ordinary shoppers perspective. Marin is the Mecca if you are either an ordinary shopper or a reseller in the high-end resale market this is a fabulous cause as well. They dress people who are looking for a new start and help them get professional clothes to go to interviews and such. The donations for the store come from very nice and wealthy donors in San Francisco and other areas of Marin County. The prices here are amazing. I mostly shop for myself but occasionally find something well enough price that I could resell it. They have a five dollar rack where they put everything that hasn't sold in two months. I found some amazing things on that rack today. I also bought myself some lovely things spent more than five dollars of course but not anywhere near the actual value of these designer pieces if you are anywhere near this place, you must stop by and support this wonderful cause.
