Well I have been coming here since I was little for mountain biking equipment and Skiing equipment and everything in between and have always loved it. Everyone working here is always really really nice and just so polite. They seem to know everything about everything and are always eager to help. If they don't know the answer to something, they will find out for you and if they don't have something in stock they will find it for you. Now this was when I was younger and now? It's no different and NOW THEY HAVE REMODELED!!
REI's West Towne location is now massive beacon of your outdooring needs. As many people probably know that REI is aimed a little more toward the more serious and extreme outdoorsman. Including things such as winter camping and mountain climbing. They have a lot of other stuff for everyone though. The new building is gorgeous and one of my favorite features of it is the massive front doors and Ice picks for door handles. You get an immediate feeling that you are about to embark on an outdoor adventure and don't know when you may return. I feel that the combination of the new store and the relaxed personalities of the employees excite you to buy everything and go out into the wilderness and see where you end up. It is fantastic. I have never had a bad experience here and I really hope not to. Everything here is very well separated and categorized you know exactly "what department" you are in without knowing you have ever transitioned into another area of expertise.
This store does extremely well and I only hope more success for it. That'll do REI.... That'll do....
