“Great shop, folks, bikes and gear. Have bought three bikes over the last few years for me and my two kids. Each was a different bike, brand, situation... and every purchase experience was a pleasure. They make it easy and comfortable and go out of the way to assure you're happy and content, during and after the sale. They have your back with no judgement...with an at your service attitude. And they know their stuff. Highly recommend!”
“I recently picked up my new kayak from Great Outdoor Provision Co. (GOP), though the seamless process actually started months ago. Since the exact model I wanted wasn't initially in stock, I worked with both the manufacturer and the fantastic team at GOP to have it shipped to the store. Drew made sure the entire special-order process was streamlined and kept me updated with excellent communication the entire way.
When I arrived for pickup, Tim gave me a thorough, detailed overview of the kayak and even helped secure it to my truck. Everyone I encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. This was easily one of the best overall customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time!”
“So much merch, it's beautifully layed out. We asked staff for breakfast food recommendations and they were so friendly and helpful. I scored a magnet and coffee cup - the price was friendly toward my limited budget.”
“I’ve been fly-fishing for over 40 years and have fished the world and seen hundreds of fishing shops…Albermarle angler is THE greatest fishing store I’ve ever been to. It’s not large but everything in it is everything you’d want from top notch waders, boots, an entire spectrum of rods and reels - from very affordable entry level pieces to top of the line heirloom worthy rods/reels. The collection of clothing is top notch with Tom Becke, Filson, Orvis, to name a few. Luggage, fishing packs, flies, lines, leaders….its endless.
The BEST part of this store is the staff and the personalized attention you get. There is no sale pressure just genuine help wanting to make sure you are comfortably geared up to enjoy this wonderful sport.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this store. I shopped there from out of town while visiting my daughter and will absolutely stop back and load up every time I’m in Charlottesville!”
“I was looking for a sweat band to wear at work so the sweat would stop pouring into my eyes and blinding me (I work outdoors). The gentleman there showed me all the options, and I picked up two - they're working great. 👍”
“Bought some snow boarding boots for 45 bucks went down one hill at the ski resort and both soles were gone, guess they were pretty old. I did get some snow pants those worked great!

“A small and knowledgeable dance store. My daughter has gotten two pairs of pointe shoes here this year and the employees are very knowledgeable in helping dancers select the correct shoes for them. I had my toddler with me at our last visit and had to step outside so he wouldn’t put his hands on everything. My daughter said the lady helping her made her feel safe and comfortable while I tended to her brother. They worked on picking out her new pair of pointe shoes and some others. When I came back in they were finished and I got info on where to order shoes they didn’t carry. Pricing is decent as dance shoes are expensive everywhere. Shop is small and cozy. They have an employee that is immunocompromised and they ask that everyone entering to wear a mask. They do provide one if you don’t have one on you.”
“Wonderful team and so friendly! Donna helped me with some sizing and a making a return. The overall energy of the place was so upbeat and everything felt so clean.”

“Great store to find outdoor stuff or come cute gifts. Great prices, the store is large and lots to look around. The employees are always very kind. Parking is always easy.”
“Excellent service--they went out of their way to help my son pick the perfect Christmas gifts for his riding instructor and her horses! They're also extremely knowledgeable about all things riding, English or Western. Their store has a great selection of clothing, accessories, horse and human riding needs. I don't know if they're the only game in town, but they're definitely the one I'll be returning to!”
“Great environment, very clean and organized! What makes this store GREAT is the staff, so welcoming and kind, always willing to help. Always excited to shop here?”
“Stop by for sale on shower shoes. Love to walk in and being ask if need help. Used were flip flops where found what I wanted & was even given Military Discount. Big Thank you”
“It's a fantastic store that has been around for ages. They have everything you could possibly want including shirts for every single athletic team. Great service as well. However, the prices are steep.”
“I bought a pair of shoes in this store on March 6, 2026. Kojo is the most knowledgeable shoe expert I have ever encountered in my adult life. Very friendly , professional. He would tell me the ups AND downsides of each type of shoe, and for example, why a certain shoe would have the feel it does to walk or jog in. Highly recommended.”
“This shop is the absolute BEST!! Their expertise is through the roof, and their customer service is legendary! The staff analyzes your walk, inspects your old shoes to determine the patterns of wear and tear--and they ALWAYS take as much time as is necessary to figure out the perfect shoe for your particular needs. I give Ragged Mountain my HIGHEST recommendation!”
