We were at the mall anyway so decided to go in to check it out in person. Tyler or Taylor, crap I'm bad w names, but it was either Tyler or Taylor, really went above and beyond to help us with answering our millions of questions and trying to help us when we asked to get it going to try out. He was unable to get that key thing to work, but man, did that kid give it a valiant effort. We really appreciated his assistance and patience. The store is clean and well stocked. Will absolutely be back and highly recommend.

Large store with a good selection…read more Sportsman's Warehouse, in my opinion, is a discount Cabela's. They cater to the north valley outdoor enthusiast: hunting, fishing, shooting, camping, barbecuing, you'll find your items here. This store is fairly new and is located within North Valley Plaza in the building once occupied by Mervyn's. The plaza has a lot of free parking and is easy to access from both the Cohasset Road and East Avenue freeway exits. I enjoy coming here to stock up on pellets for my Traeger grill. Easily the lowest price in town here. There is always a good selection and a wide assortment of options. They seem to have sales often as well which makes shopping here all the more enticing. The staff have always been friendly and helpful, too. You won't get a true Cabela's experience here, but definitely come if you are in need of outdoor gear at a good price.

Overall, good!

The people who served me were pleasant enough. When I bought my Ryka shoes 2 weeks ago, I asked…read morethe salesperson if I could return them if necessary. She said I had 30 days. 2 weeks later the shoes started fraying at the lace holes. When I tried to return them they said I couldn't because they were not in good enough shape to resell. They were starting to tear! That's why I wanted to return them. So, make sure you don't plan on returning your shoes if you purchase them here. You will not be satisfied with their return policy.

It was also great that the employee didn't try to shove the most expensive item into a sale, but rather listened to what was needed. The product was so quality, that we didn't mind the prices, being there was only a minimal difference between their store, and your cheap box store prices. Should we ever need anything else for our outdoor life style, we will look no further than this great little store.

The prices are on the good side of fair. Shopped here regularly before. Busted a hump to get to the store for a quick purchase, only to get a disingenuous "sorry" as they closed up early and the door literally got locked in my face by the second employee - the first just stood in the doorway and stared blankly back at me tongue tied, physically blocking me at the entrance as I tried to go in. As if I was supposed to be psychic and just understand I wasn't welcome even though it wasn't closing time. It was weird.

It's not very visible from the road although it's in a fairly busy area adjacent to downtown. Due to this, I never felt that this spot was commercialized. Just a true mom-and-pop establishment. I enjoyed that this shop is also adjacent to the south campus neighborhood where all the Greek houses are. It was an easy two block walk from my fraternity house. The store, while small, is very clean and orderly. You'll find a multitude of Greek-related merchandise (cups, apparel, crafts, stickers, etc). The gentleman who runs the shop will also take custom orders for embroidering or ordering a particular product. A convenient little shop overall, and a true asset to the Chico State Greek community.
