I sadly can't recommend shopping at the new location :( The old location was a bit dark, yes, but it was so well-stocked. The new location seems to have a heavy emphasis on aesthetics at the detriment of content. I went to buy a backpacking chair and not only was the selectionvery poor, but the covers were lying around in a pile in the aisle and there were no frames to be seen. Many of the other shelves nearby were empty as well. Even though I live nearby, I didn't think it was worth the trip to the physical store. You're probably better off just ordering from the website. PS - none of the EV charging spots work; they don't seem to be turned on yet.
