On the last day of this store being open, closing Tuesday 12-30-25 and liquidating inventory…read moreincluding the $57.50 Shaun White book which was reduced to only $5 Granted I looked on eBay in the secondary collector's market and it could be found for $15-25 used and new... but it's like over 90% off the original cover retail price! I wager a reseller could have negotiated to buy the remaining inventory for even less to make a profit. Parking at the Grove and Farmer's Market is horrendous to the degree that their policy, validation and rates they charge customers to shop there is very counterintuitive to supporting their retailers to generate foot traffic and business. I wonder if the shopping center's mismanagement was cause of the Backcountry downfall to close this store and liquidate inventory and sell fixtures. The shopping center's parking system is disingenuous to supporting retailers and customers. You park, you eat, you shop and buy, hang out for maybe 2-3 hours, spend money and even with a merchant parking validation you pay $17 to park and support the center's businesses.

I demo'ed an expensive new racket here which I decided to buy afterward. I told the owner that I loved the settings on the demo racket. The owner then told me that the string tension on the demo is 52lbs, so i said "perfect, that sounds good, the demo felt great" I picked up my brand new, restrung racket yesterday. What he failed to mention is that the demo was strung months ago and now has a tension of 40lbs. My racket played so differently from the demo that I called to check if this was the case. Upon confirming that it indeed was, the owner, rather than admitting he'd made a mistake, told me it was my fault and said it'd be full price of materials and labor to string it again to match the demo, which is what I'd asked for originally. So my experience with Xisle is leaving totally dissatisfied after having spent $350. I would recommend going somewhere more knowledgeable or at least to someone willing to admit they've wronged a customer. It's really a poor way to conduct business.

Hopefully the information gets updated so others don't make the same trip unnecessarily.

You dumb dumbs, you have your thumbs up your asses and have no idea what to do with a broken zipper at the store on La Brea. Yes, I went into the store myself to try and sort this out only to be met with sales staff had no clue how to handle a broken zipper on a jacket. I'll tell you how you handle it, you fix it on your dime where you replace it on the spot. He don't send a customer away with a broken zipper. That was the last opportunity you'll ever have to send us away. This review will probably remind other people just to shop at Patagonia.

Older kids were taking over the place and my son had minimum time to play and he had almost 0 attention from the counselor ( because they are focused on the older kids) just the last 2 rooms he was able to play JUST A LITTLE before you guys told us that was time to leave!!!. The place it is amazing, but could be better, if you give each one a specific experience according the age. You should say the truth and inform parents that the place it is not right for 2 years old to Play ( even if you pay full price), because they are not even able to understand what's going on and you guys give attentionto the older kids most of the time. You should have times special for little ones, like DIG IT does.

I've owned a number of outdoor patio mats (rugs) over the years and the issues were all the same - sand, dirt and debris were a constant maintenance concern and if a rain shower came through the heartache just increased. I must admit I was a little skeptic prior to making this purchase (8' x 20' RV sand free mat), there are lots of options in the market place and most that I've experienced were disappointing in some way or another, CGEAR's proprietary sand-free technology erased all the concerns I had. The soft yet durable material has consistently performed over a number of outings and this mat still looks like the day I removed it from the packaging. It's takes mere minutes to get it set up and it's just as easy to prepare it for storage. I think the most impressive feature besides its appearance is it's ability to filter out sand and dirt, it definitely works like magic and most importantly performs as advertised. I have a battery powered leaf blower that I use to remove leaf's and debris that the winds blows around, this is no more than a two minute exercise it's almost as if it's self-cleaning. I have also rolled it out at home in my driveway and power-washed it several times any dirt that may have temporarily stained it washes off and take only a few hours to completely dry and ready to be stored for our next adventure. I love the Mold-Free and Military-Grade Construction materials that is used to manufacture this mat and the fact that it is UV Resistant ensures no fading over time or at least up to this point. I'm confident I've found the last mat I'll ever need, my expectation is that this mat will last and perform for years to come...

Why is your store open for business if 75% of your product isn't on the shelf? I got my finger stabbed by an opened lure while going through a box of unassorted fishing items.

Thanks for the heads up afterwards, that makes sense. I absolutely would not recommend coming here, there are so many other great fishing stores to go to.

The people in front of me were asking the sales guy super simple questions like "is this double braid?" and sales guy couldn't answer it. Then when I got my rope, it was ringing up at a different price at the counter than what it was labeled on the shelf. They had the labels switched and wanted to charge me $10 extra for their mistake. When you do specialty retail, you should be able to answer basic product questions. When YOU make a mistake in labeling, you as the business should own up to it, and you take the hit and then go fix the label on the shelf so it doesn't help. The 3 star rating makes sense now.

There is a large hallway when you enter, then a bar to the left side in a separate room, and I think the women's restroom is across the way. If you kept straight, you enter the large ballroom where there are bars on either side and a stage in front where the dj was. For our particular event, there was a long table set up on the right side for a minimal offering of food while there was random furniture set up throughout the venue along with a couple of photo booths. Considering the previous years party was actually AT work, Candela was a nice upgrade!
