I gave this location a second chance and it will end up being my last. I'll be biased. First on the good side. The store is conveniently located close to town on a main road. For being a corporate retail store they close a little early. The store is nicely laid out and has a high end look and feel to it. There are some extremely nice pieces of gear and clothing. I was pleasantly surprised to see an entomologist working there that was very knowledgeable about the bugs. Ok now for the bads. This location is not your first stop for tackle. Actual fishing tackle is scarce and the focus seems to be more clothing and gear vs tackle....(personal frustration). Everything is well over priced. Most employees either have arrogant attitudes, act like your not important coming in or lack knowledge. For being a "high end" fishing retailer, I go in expecting the same for an experience and I leave disappointed and frustrated. If I am going to pay a premium, the experience and knowledge should be at a premium. Experience trumps most everything when shopping at any location. I dont care how good any product is, if I dont have a good experience I dont need to go back. To say you went to an orvis, for exaggerated pricing or high end gear, it's worth stopping by. But I'll continue my search for a more local small business great interaction and educating experience.
