We don't get to come out here a lot, but I absolutely love this bass pro shop. They have the best…read moreSanta Claus in all of Ca-Sacramento Northern area. I beg you to disagree with me. The options of boats and everything that they have out is many many I could get lost in the store It could overstimulate you a little bit because there's just so much however, the aisles are so big and everything that it kind of makes up for it Everything is immaculate clean it's the first time I use the restroom. The restroom is huge. The staff is always very nice. They greet you when you come in they greet you when you leave. The only problem I have is that I don't have a $10,000 credit card for this place. Or maybe that's a good thing They have so many lures to choose from I could get lost looking at them, but love that for me for fishing. I love that they have a variety of fishing poles and they also have cookware there. If you did not know that if you need to go camping this is a great place to go value wise. I would say great prices great material clothes wise. I have sweatshirts that I've had for over 3+ years and they've never got ruined in the washer and dryer and I got these ones on sale for like five to $10. I've been waiting for that sale again. I think I miss it. However, I must say hands-down they have the best quality clothes. They have a lot of options of stuff. If you know somebody that's having a baby. You're going to a baby shower you could come here and find some cool stuff for them and get out and get to see stuff you want to see as well.

Went to the range today to test my 1911, then after a while, Oly ( the manager) came in and told me…read morethe following, he said I had too much muzzle flip from my 1911 and 1917 .45, well I don't know about that, he treated me like a child, and I had been buying guns from him for 10 years at the old mosquito store, I will never go back there again. He doesn't know I am getting over an elbow and shoulder injury, he said he would stop me from shooting if he saw muzzle flip again on the camera he was watching me from on his computer, well well Oly, muzzle flip, what a farse, of course guns have muzzle flip or rise when shooting, The range fee is too high as well. see here, this is how shot my 1911 https://youtube.com/shorts/fI-BQ3VqmQk?si=gqNAbmF7hpIK2HUN https://youtube.com/shorts/vgi_1s5eZmA?si=pC2-4PoP8lpNqjsb 10 years of knowing him and he treated me like red headed step child.

I'm in desperate need of of a downrigger terminator kit. Likely the only place in the whole county…read moreis going to be this shop, so I called them today, 6/7/2025 from 2pm to 2:45pm. No one answers the phone. Eventually, it falls out to a generic voicemail box that does not identify who the owner is. Am I calling the right number? I don't know. I do know I'm not going to waste time driving up there if there's no way to confirm they are either open or not. Customer service starts at the beginning, such as answering the dang phone, and if you can't answer the phone, a message of who it is I called, AKA, business name, your hours of operation and who to dial next since you can't be bothered to answer the line you have listed. People wonder why so many businesses fail, especially up here on the hill. I can tell you why; because they disrespect their customers, can't even answer a phone or have an answering machine inform the caller of the basics, such as who they reached, what the hours of operation are, etc. Amazon it is then, I'll just have to wing it until my idem arrives. MCO's loss.

I had an oar problem while on the S. fork.

This owner told me that there's nothing to do about it and it's normal. Many people in my group had a similar experience, which was comforting because I wasn't the only person who had such a negative experience, but I think it's unfortunate that this business owner has such a bad rep. The woman Penny was kind and helpful though. I just feel bad she has to work for such a Scrooge. You would think someone who is outfitting people for the river would be more go with the flow and pleasant.

This used to be an OfficeMax. It's a large space and they have a broad selection of stuff but at…read morethe end of the day, there is no specific area in which they specialize. It feels like it's a surplus store. They bought too much of a certain item so it lands here at discount. Is that the case? No idea. It also feels like it's what is needed in this town. Instead of running off to San Francisco or Sacramento, you can find clothes here. There are going to be plenty of other retail outlets doing similar things like Nordstrom Rack over at the old U-Mall. Would have been nice to have had this here in previous years though. It was also a lot of different specialties under one roof. A bit of the jack of all trades, master of none style. Buy shoes, dog food and a bicycle? This is your place. No one is going to want to do that though. Or surprise me...I'd like to see something land in this retail space and thrive for more than a few years at a time.
