finally wandered into this store out of boredom. never felt compelled to do so because 1. i dont think i have even touched a skateboard in my life lol and feel that being a skater is in a realm as far as it can be from my tribe and 2. i feel like their branding and window display just don't represent my style and aesthetic. that said, the store has a wide selection of super cute clothes. it definitely has lots of well known brands like vans and other sports brand but i am the most interested in learning about other brands that i have not heard of. as a select shop that bring you a variety of off-beat, urban streetwear, they do a good jobs in merchandising. the employee was friendly and helpful and not pushy, i tried on this v-neck dropped shoulder poly tee and subtle reptile print and absolutely love it. it's not the cutting that i usually go for and it is $70 so i have to go home and do some thinking and make some planning on how to coordinate something like that. also tries on a tee with green and purple pattern knitted into it. it's also in the $70 range but the colors were amazing. i noticed a rip n dip chair tucked at a dirty corner near the fitting room. it looks worn and sad but it's rip n' dip! i feel that the store, if interested in getting more customers like myself who just enjoy the fashion and less about skateboarding gears, they should consider doing a whole rebranding. the store is way too clustered, you have to dig hard to find the items that are actually very chic. they can either go with a more urban outfitter, no-bs, dystopian approach in their store design or add in more objects of curiosity like sculptures or decor to play off on the existing maximalism but to add characters. like that chair near the dressing room will sure draw attention at the window display with some cool color stories. a raw wood fixtures, rugs, painted chandelier, flea market ironically-old-world vibe type of deal can work well instead of the outdated and boring current design that does not match the edge that their clothes carry. nice selection of clothes, relatively affordable prices, can use a bit tlc in updating and clean up the interior. will come back to grab that tee.

I came here to check out roller skates. The whole time I was looking at the skates, the employees made themselves scarce.

They'll do anything to not let you return your item in store. Seriously annoying how refunds aren't allowed in store but are online.

First time building a deck and needed parts to complete the build. Brought the trucks and wheels with me. Terrick went above and beyond by presenting bearing options and did the install within minutes. Also purchased tape and truck screws. Shop had a lot of cool decks n stuff, definitely recommend Boarders for the friendly service and vast selection.

All the employees be very helpful and always making sure the customers are taken care of. They got a good selection of clothes and skate gear. Make sure to come through and grab your essentials.

Don't shop here. They don't give refunds, only store credit, even for unused merchandise with all the tags still on, and they don't tell you when you buy it. It's on the receipt, so they will point to that when you are trying to return it, but it's kind of useless at that point, no? Better just buy online or go down the hall to Zumiez which is pretty much the same stuff anyway lol.

I've taken my daughter shopping for school clothes at a few different Boarders in the last few weeks. This one at the Santa Anita Mall is the best by far. There's a better selection here and the employees are always super helpful and friendly. This is our go-to spot now.

It's expensive. I saw a couple of items I saw in Macy's for a much cheaper price. I ended up going to Eagle Rock for a board for my son. Even that was a better price. Also getting help here was like asking for their liver.
