REI 6424 Sawmill Road, Columbus, OH 43235

"Buy into the membership. It's well worth it. If you've ever left a bike shop feeling cheated and angry at the hipster bike snob techs that only Try to sell you something rather than fix what you have, this is the place for you. I've never had a negative experience getting work done here. Professional and courteous, the techs here both know their craft and are not just glorified salesman. Overall a great service in a sea of disappointment."

"REI is my favorite gear store by far. They only sell the highest quality products. The perks are pretty good if you join the Co-op benefits rewards program. It’s a onetime fee of $30. It is well worth it if you shop for this type of gear even occasionally. You get coupons and rei-cash back."

"First time here! Loved it! The staff was the most helpful, cheerful and happy people of any store I have ever went into. I will definitely be visiting them on a regular. Huge selection of products for any outdoor activity you can think of."

"Today we stopped into the Sawmill Road location to simply browse. Nick came up asking if we needed help while looking at backpacks. His knowledge is exactly why we are loyal REI customers. We were not rushed at all. He had us try several packs while explaining features of each. Our browse resulted in a buy. Excellent customer service as always. Prices are very competitive. Thank you Nick we look forward to hiking soon!"

"Spoke with Matt at the Sawmill Rd. REI, this early evening. I have a new to me car with no roof racks and want to haul my sit up on kayak and paddle board There's still some summer left here in central Ohio!! We talked about two of the best competitors and landed on one that I think I'll be happy with. He knew what he was talking about and it was easy to decide. In the end, I'm glad I stayed with REI and bet I'll have this set up till I'm too old to float the river❗❗"
