The staff in the fishing department were amazing. They helped me find the perfect set up and had me in and out fast. I could not be happier thank you guys.

My husband and I came here specifically for Hoka shoes. Both Richard and the other employee that worked in the Public Lands side (I didn't get his name) were very helpful and professional. We will definitely come back.

Excellent customer service and work quality for my first ski tune up. They hired all the talent from Freestyle after it closed which is a win-win

Very helpful.. knowledgeable...and professionally courteous! All my questions were answered and even recommended some online channels to watch for further research!

Hilarious that past reviews think the store is “missing” hunting gear. I guess they don’t understand why the store was opened in the first place. Giving a 2 star rating as the average size woman in the US is a 14/16 but they don’t sell apparel for them. Yes! Bigger bodied people spend time outside and are active. Try selling sizes that people can actually wear. You’re throwing money out the window. Bike dept service was great

Needed some binoculars for a trip and with the assistance of Jerret, I came out with a great product and with Lucas' help, I got through the best options of using a promo code I received in the mail. Great store in Charlottesville, Va and will spending a lot more time there in the coming months. Great prices and selections and they support many local and national park efforts.

Bought a Lew’s Combo at Public Lands and Kevin helped me thru the whole process. He even lined my reel which was a HUGE help. I know when I come back again I’m gonna ask for Kevin. Thanks for all the help.

Huge and clean store. Good selection of various things you may need. Friendly service telling us where we can find certain items (like a specific hat we came in for).

Helpful employees in the fishing section. They made sure I had the right equipment!Unfortunately the guns, ammo, and hunting equipment are missing, so I'll spend a lot less time and money at this new store.

Went into buy a paddle for my Kayak. Caleb helped me with which was right one for my height and level, even went above and beyond to go find a screw driver to tighten the adjustable clasp. Thanks Caleb!

Let me get this straight, I went in looking for camo crocs for my kid, couldn’t find them so I asked and the employee said camo isn’t a color we sell here..but I could find toddler sized sports bras?? Gross.

stopped in to view the layout; impressed with the outdoor name brands and the inside rock climbing wall; in the camping area, the sales rep, Mike, was most helpful

Incredible improvement upon the old Field & Stream brand. Fantastic gear for ski, hike, bike, paddle, and more.

I understand customer service, but I didn’t enjoy having people following behind me chasing me down as though I was doing something wrong.

Fine for fishing, basically nothing for hunting and shooting sports.
