Love this store for the great deals and help from very knowledgeable employees with a great attitude. The online has had a few hiccups, but they still get it done for you and are amazing at fixing any issues and honest. I placed an order on Black Friday and for some reason the order wouldnt process and said it was pending until today. So I phoned and someone said phone back Monday, but I chose to go back online to reorder the product as it was still at sale price and I left a comment about the previous order number and why I was reordering. Not long after I got a call from Denise to inform

If there has ever been a "kid in a candy store" moment for a fisherman, it has to be in this shop. I was extremely impressed with the selection and the staff know their stuff. Check it out!

I live in Victoria, I somehow came across this store because it was close to my hotel. They always have a clearance or sale items which are really good and cheap as compared to the bigger outlets out there. I always drop by here whenever I drive north

I love this store, it's amazing and so are the staff that work there. You definitely won't be hollering for help in this store! They must have enough staff to cater to each and every shopper individually. The staff couldn't be more helpful. If your looking to find something out of the ordinary they'll find it and order it in. They definitely have this business figured out! Today we had Austin help us and he, just like the rest of the staff couldn't be more helpful!
