“I’ve always had a positive experience shopping here. Today, Chris (manager or owner?) and his team went above and beyond in sorting out an obscure gift card request I had. Great products and great customer service.”
“The kindest guy I've ever met, we had a nice conversation and he friendly introduced me the whole store. Being very patient and comprehensive, he gave a 70% discount on a $110 TFC jersey that I was buying for my brother in Brazil!!”
“Amazing pricing and deals at this outlet store. Selection is sometimes limited (kids section is quite small), but it is an outlet after all so should be expected.”
“I had an amazing experience at the Columbia Factory Store in Kingston. They have a wide variety of product models, so it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for.
But what truly sets this store apart is their exceptional customer service — honestly the best I’ve ever experienced.
We accidentally left our bag in the store, which contained cash and gold. When I called, Ben handled the situation with great professionalism. He asked the right questions to make sure I was the owner, and then went above and beyond by shipping the bags to Toronto at their own expense.
This level of honesty, responsibility, and care is rare. This was one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!”
“Great experience at this store, Ben was so helpful in selecting a fitness tracker watch--he was friendly, knowledgable and energetic even with the craze of boxing day and post-Christmas madness. I really appreciate the fantastic service, thank you Ben!!”
“Had a wonderful , kind and insightful interaction with Laura when I was in Lululemon last week . Good people are everywhere in our community … just quietly doing their best . Thanks Laura !”
“I’ve been in this store twice and both times had a great experience. The first time was to get my 3yo some hockey skates. He wasn’t with me so we took our best guess at what might fit him best. A few months later, went back as we decided we needed to go a size up in his skates.
They bought the old ones back as well as my rec skates and I bought a new pair of figure skates.
I didn’t get their names but the staff members (both times) were super knowledgeable and helpful and found us exactly what we were looking for. So 2 pairs of skates, 2 pairs of skate guards with the 2 older pair of skates they bought plus sharpening… it was less than $100. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommended!”
“Today I went into the Kingston location looking at the Cleveland XL Halo irons. I spoke to Matt Rocci who spent a lot of time with me. He is extremely professional and extremely knowledgeable. After quite a bit of time Matt was able to get me the perfect shaft for my swing. I really appreciate all what Matt did for me and I look forward to dealing with him in the future. Thanks SO MUCH Matt.”
“I have narrow feet and dread shopping for footwear. Stores carrying "narrow" running shoes is a challenge. Service and choice was excellent. Staff took the time to fully measure/assess my feet to recommend the type that would suit best and I actually had a 'choice'! of narrow ones to choose from. Happily drive from to Kingston (from Ottawa) again when I need new ones! Thank You!”
