REI

We’ve been here many times and always had such great experiences.. the associates are super helpful and kind. They’ve helped my boyfriend find new running shoes and a headlamp.. if you ever have questions about a product they’re always more than happy to give advice and talk thru options. We also needed to get our skis sharpened and waxed and Jeremy/Sam/Mike hooked us up the same day- they were done within 20 mins. Planning to come back again for a full tune up. Feel lucky to have an REI so close by and the people who work there are awesome

Just went in to look at camping gear and I couldn’t believe the experience and expertise of someone so young, Mike was so passionate and patient, He fitting me for multiple packs and answered all my questions. The store has a great selection of quality gear. Certainly plenty of professional level products to choose from.

If I could give this store a 0-star I would. 1st off walking in the store is a mess. I had to find someone to ask where the particular items vicinity I came in on was. Then as I was checking out with a pair of gloves, the lady had told me that it was a “members only” which is $30 because it was discounted $14. I then asked if I could pay full price and they had said no. Make that make sense, never heard of a business that didn’t want my money. The lady then went and checked with the manager who was not friendly at all and she had certainly said no. I will never be returning to this place or any REI for that matter because of how unbelievably inefficient the whole process to get gloves was, but also with the snobby behaviors of the employees and manager.

Great customer service and nicely laid out. The staff was friendly and the selection was nice also. The employees went out of their way to let me know about the membership and to help me with anything I needed. Glad there is a location closer to Ontario.

Store is nice, limited products, customer service ok. At the register I felt like I was being called out because my husband is a member and you are not allowed to share membership, totally understand. One person said yes I was given the rewards, great. Then the person who was cashing me out proceeds to ask her manger after the transaction completed. They had a conversation with me about it, like I was the one who was the issue when in fact I was not. I was not offered a bag for my items so I walked across the parking lot looking like I stole merchandise. Not a great experience and I will just stick to buying items online.

Tried on hiking boots, and Hoka and Brooks sneakers. Didn’t have every shoe in every size I wanted to try but I imagine they’ll be getting them in within the next few weeks. Rachel was very one-on-one helpful for the first hour we were there (10-11am); as it got busier she was less available (as expected) but still very on top of it and helpful!

This is a new store, I get it. But come on man. I walked in and meandered through almost every department (I've got bad hips, I move slow), made my way back to the shoes, found one Keen I wanted to try on out of the very limited selection, took it off the wall, looked around, saw a few employees a ways off talking, then walking away to do different things. One of them passed the shoe area but not close enough for me to ask for help, then I held the shoe above my head like "Yo, anyone want me to give them $160 for this shoe?" I guess they didn't want me to give them $160 so I put the shoe back on the wall, and slowly walked back to the front of the store all the while trying to make eye contact with someone, anyone, and then made it to the front door without a single person ever saying a word to me. I've been a Co-op member for more than 20 years too. Not saying that like a snoot, just saying I've been to REI's all over the country, I love the brand and going in there is always like a little play-cation. I've outfitted for cross country bike trips and all of my cold weather/bike/outerwear has come from REI for 2 decades. Unfortunately today was just a disappointment. 3 stars only because I don't want to kill the average too much. I want this store to succeed but get better, please.

My first impressions are very organized! Outstanding customer service. Very large selection. I get the feeling the bike shop in the store will be very popular. Looks like a great selection. Nice easy to read info board. Workers sounded sharp. The selection of binoculars didn't knock me out. They need MORE. Hopefully the kayak selection will get bigger. Not a huge variety of ballcaps. Top of the line footwear section. My favorites were in stock. Hoka, Brooks, Solomon. Possibly Keen. Not sure if I saw New Balance 1080s. Clothing in general is very good quality. There is nothing cheap or half baked about this new store. Phenomenal parking! Nice restrooms. Gonna be a great addition to the area!
