“Decided to stop in to get some proper running shoes for an upcoming race, and I’m so glad I did! The place was pretty busy, but I was helped quickly. Lucy was amazing—she took the time to explain what I should be looking for in a running shoe and really knew her stuff. She made the whole process super easy (especially for a beginner runner like me) and helped me find the perfect pair. Highly recommend this spot if you want knowledgeable staff and a smooth experience!”
“Awesome place! My husband and I bring all of our equipment there to be inspected and filled! They have lots of options for additional diving gear. Julie is super great and helpful! Love it here! Also they offer dive certification for anyone who is interested in starting”

“A fav shop! Friendly, attentive staff and the best adventure schwag! I'm a wannabe adventurer and Nomads is a go to shop for gear that's practical and fashionable. Can't recommend enough!! Oooh and have fun seasonal events with great discounts food and bevies to boot!”
“Classic Army Store with New & Vintage products - fully stocked Airsoft products - edged products - apparal of all kinds - pleasent, professional staff - easy to get to and plenty of parking - a MUST visit store as you will be suprised at how much merchandise is in this cozy shop. AAA+++”
“We purchased 2 of these for our girls (black Lab puppies) last fall to protect them during the hunting season. They put a lot of miles on them out in the back 40, and except for them coming unbuckled once in awhile, we have had no issues with them. The girls accept them being put on, really get excited when we do, as that is a key that we are going for a woods walk, swim, etc. Even though hunting season is over, we still put them on. True, a black Lab stands out against the snow, but these blaze orange vests help us keep track of their whereabouts as they scout the frozen tundra. We love it when we can buy American, get good quality, and not send $ and jobs overseas.”
“I just wanted to say that I’ve never personally been to a Johnson’s Sporting Goods store, but a couple years ago I reached out over Facebook messenger to ask them to help out a friend who’s JSG hat was ruined, and it was a hat that they wore every single day(we also live in NY so driving to the store wasn’t super possible at the time) and Carrie Johnson immediately helped me out by finding the same hat, and next day shipping it for us. That alone has to show the kind of people that run it, so thank you again Carrie I still very much appreciate your help.”
“I love this store! Not only are they amazing and really take the time to help you with whatever you may need but they did such a good job with my goalie stick fixing it and making it perfect. They even let me test it out before I brought it home again. Very satisfied and will always come in to get my sticks tuned up and restrung.”

“Maine Surfers Union is a good smaller sized shop that I've been to over the years. Each time I've dropped by Charlie and other staff have been helpful and super friendly. In fact, one time I really needed some Futures fins during a swell and couldn't make it to the shop for a while so Charlie offered advice over the phone to decide on my best size and arranged to meet up with me near my local surf break one early morning-how can you beat that for customer service?! When I walk into MSU one thing that pops into my brain is "quality" - good brands and well made products that you may need to pay a little more for at times, but will last. Haven't bought a board here, but am always curious what they have for shapes-they don't offer a huge selection of multiple racks full of boards but I like that they stock USA made quality options and they update on social media board orders arriving to give you a sense of what's available. Also offer some surf books, local coffee and local craft beer to go.”
“The best shoe store I've ever shopped in. Staff were pleasant, but Aaron went above and beyond, trying to get running shoes that would fit my wide feet. A great salesman and a super guy. Shopping there was 1 of the 2 or 3 highlights of my Maine vacation. Too bad South Portland wasn't closer to my home in Nova Scotia.”
“Great staff, very helpful during the purchasing process of golf clubs. Not pushy at all during shopping. They even helped me make adjustments to my clubs post-purchase at no cost after playing with them and realizing I needed a change. Good experience all around”
“Customer service is always A+ had a return I took back because someone had taken back a fish finder that they broke and unfortunately the representative didn’t check the return throughly and I wound up with it. However upon me exchanging it customer service did not hesitate for a moment and gave me 25% off the item for the hassle. Brendan and all the guys in the fishing department make you feel valued and always giving you helpful advice. Those guys are very knowledgeable in their department! It would have been 5 star however it just feels like every time I’m in there I get harassed to sign up for the credit card or to put in an entry for a drawing. Other than that this place is EXCELLENT!”
“I recently went to FF and my experience was terrific!! Marissa was a HUUUGE help I was looking for a pair of taffy pink crocs so I called ahead and at first they said they didn’t have the crocs and 10 minutes later I get a call from Marissa telling me she found the crocs I was so excited and I really appreciate Marissa’s effort to helping me out finding my crocs!!! Thank you so much Marissa you made my day!!!”
“The team at Lululemon in the Maine mall is amazing!! Irelan went above and beyond and wrote a handwritten note congratulating me on my upcoming dental school journey and suggested some clothing material such as scrubs and gear. Thank you so much Irelan, you were amazing!”
“Eddie Bauer is becoming the only place I will purchase clothing. It is very difficult to find durable, comfortable, stylish, well fitting clothing for men of my size anywhere else.”

“I was shopping for my teen niece who is painfully shy. She was feeling a little out of the element and Madison, a store Manager saw us looking endlessly for clothes and thus approached us to see if we needed help. Madison made our day! She was kind, understanding, patient, friendly and anticipated the needs of my niece. She offered selections to try on and we felt valued! I would HGHLY recommend anyone to shop with Madison.
The store is clean, well stocked in various sizes. Really a fantastic store to find versatile clothing that goes from workouts to casual and business casual.”
“I've never had 1st class customer service as I have at the Maine mall store. Every time I stop in for custom hats for my business, Tom has helped me and I am honored to have his help. This guy knows his stuff and has helped me design my hats every time. I'd swear he's the owner because he is highly knowledgeable and believes in Customer service. Tom is top knotch. As an employer in the service industry, I'd say Lids is lucky to have him and he's the kind of employee I search hard for. Thanks Tom!”
“Best place by far to get the equipment needed for any type of sports. New or used everything I've gotten for my kids or I worked great. Also, really good customer service. My son had grabbed a bat that he wouldn't have been able to use in his league. They pointed it out and helped us get the right one. I recommend always going here first. ???”
“Felicia was fantastic and kind when I didn’t know my shoe size. She went above and beyond to help me feel welcome and taken care of. Thank you. I love my new shoes. Excellent service and true kindness. Grateful.”
“I love this place and not just because it's close. The staff are kind and always helpful and I have very rarely had a bad experience in the 10ish years Ive lived here”
“I shopped on May 25 this year and bought a stationary bike5.0 OUUPRIGH/N… the service I got was fantastic! 2 very helpful employees gave me 100% service? They are why I purchased bike Joshwa Cennte and Jacob Kulig, they are an asset to your store!!!”
“Jacob was very pleasant & helpful, I can't understand why they would move him to another store. The cashier who assisted with cashing out was very nice also. Unfortunately I forgot his name, But the staff needs to be more customer friendly, they never welcomed you to the store ask if you find what you're looking for etc. I see the manager Sam making the effort. And that's why I gave this store 4 stars.”
“Born & raised in Westbrook, now living Coastal, NC. Westbrook will always be home! Was overjoyed to see Westbrook High School take the State Football Championship, "Congratulations". Thankfully I saw pictures of Xtreme Screen & Sportswear displaying beautiful sweatshirts honoring the team. Telephoned and ordered two that arrived quickly. The quality was totally amazing, had to call this morning and order the wife a Navy blue hoodie! Customer relations are truly second to none! Could the quality and customer relations have something to do with that building? As a young boy I purchased a lot of car parts from Stultz Auto Parts, they too were fantastic! My sincere thanks and wishing all a wonderful Christmas. Larry”
