One of the best stocked rei’s I’ve been in - great selection, well stocked, incredibly knowledgeable sales people, not huge waits at checkout, all in all a great outdoor store. Membership gets about a 10% discount in the form of a dividend. Their online shopping is excellent as well. Always beats the delivery timing.
I am from San Francisco, but I usually come here because this REI has alot more product than the city and it easier to find parking. The staff is helpful and prices for the most part is pretty good especially REI products.
Amazing REI. Was helped by a lady at the bike service, who went above and beyond to find someone to assist us on a non-bike question, and to help me resolve my bike question with a solution I didn't imagine! She was so professional.
I am British and the prices in this store compared to what we pay in the UK / Europe are high. But they have a bargains section of used or returns which is really. It is well stocked and easy parking. I find some staff are knowledgeable.
Very well staffed. People who work there will run down information if they don't know the answer to your question(s). Feels like a smaller store but it's densely packed in most gear areas. Standard REI prices are more expensive than many stores in the area and especially online, but sales prices are very competitive. I regularly shop here and would return.
Always great to visit our local REI and dream of possibilities.
Also grateful to not have to worry about dogs around my kids, and it’s nice to know I’m not going to have allergy issues there too.
This is a very large store with knowledgeable staff. They have everything for the outdoor enthusiast! I enjoyed my visit there and purchased the things that I was looking for.
Alberto was a calm, helpful, poised, and very intuitive sales representative in the shoe department. Took my 71 year old Mom to buy her 1st pair of Hoka Bondi 8's. He was helpful in our slight indecisiveness with choice between Brooks or On's. He brought out various shoes according to her needs before we pulled the trigger on the bondis. Stay kind, Alberto!
I still love REI as an outdoor store. Just be prepared to wait in longer lines. Today took me almost 20 minutes to return an item because there was only 1 cashier who was capable of handling returns.
Great store - spacious and clean, there’s always parking, and service is good. There’s staff floating about to help you, and Angela at check out was emanating the most positive vibes!
This place has fantastic and friendly service. Don't expect a lot of inventory in this place like other REI locations. However you can order things online and if it doesn't work out you can return them to the store.
We picked up a sleeping bag that was on sale during Memorial Day.
We stopped in a few weeks ago looking to get fitted for a pack. Dan was super helpful and getting me measured and suggesting different options. Lots of product knowledge and education from his own experience and just in general for a beginning backpacker. We came back today for the sale and he was again really friendly and helpful in getting my dad fitted for a pack. Overall great experience
