This local store is like a neighborhood version of Vans. It has a lot of Vans merchandise like…read moresneakers, clothing, hats, etc....as well as other name brand sporting goods. They have a nice selection of skateboards for sale and they also do local maintenance on them. Civil was created by Guido Silvestri and Rob Asselin in 2006. After many years of working in retail, the two founders imagined a store concept outside the realm of the traditional skate/snowboard/surf shop. The vision was realized in 2007 when the first Civil location opened in East Greenwich Rhode Island. Since then they added stores in Providence and Westerly Rhode Island.....this particular one is on Westminster St, Providence downtown. Their product mix at each one of their stores varies to suite the three distinct locations: in the city (Providence), on main street (EG), and by the beach (Westerly). Civil also has a private label collection and they have been honored to collaborate on projects with elite brands including Nike SB and SLVDR. They support local ripping skateboarders and snowboarders, including the notorious Yawgoons. Since they opened, Civil has been involved in the local skateboard and snowboard community by hosting and sponsoring contests, demos, park cleanups, video premiers, and other cultural events. The staff is young and very hip. Mostly guys in their 20s that love skateboarding, so they know their stuff when asked questions. I went to check the prices of a few sneakers and they were very helpful in regards to the differences among them.

Not once did I feel like I was being upsold, nor did I feel pressure to just buy whatever and leave. I swear my kid tried on 50 different pairs of pants, and Kailey was there with us every step of the way, asking about how the pants fit, and if we needed a different size. To the bosses at Zumiez: KAILEY DESERVES A RAISE!!! I also appreciated the friendliness and assistance of the other sales associates, particularly with clueing me in on how the kids are styling their "90s" style clothes (apparently they aren't into wicked long pants that drag on the ground like we used to have... such prima donnas!). Anyway, all together we had an awesome sales experience, and in three months when my kid had outgrown the 8 pairs of pants we purchased today, we will return to this store for more.
