Columbia Employee Store

Find somebody who works here. Beg, steal, do whatever you need to do to get a pass to the store. Better yet, go with the employee for an additional 10% discount. And spend! 95 dollar jackets for 35 bucks? Got two. 55 dollar capris for 19 bucks? Only one in my size? It’s MINE. 12 dollar cargo shorts, 8 dollar hats, 6 dollars for a lunch sack, 7 dollars for a t shirt, 14 dollars for a long sleeve shirt… need I go on? They have shoes, sporting goods, and clothes, and even have dog bowls and harnesses and jackets. The selection is limited, it just depends on what they have on hand. I thought they would have mostly small or large stuff, but they have from XS and kids to 3X, and even larger for men. They sell Columbia and Mountain Hard Wear. I went with an employee and together we spent about $ 450, but without discounts it would have easily been over a thousand. I love my Omnitech waterproof breathable rain jacket, and yeah, they only had my size in brown, but as my husband tells me, brown is the new black.
Make nice to a Columbia employee and get your shop on. It’s worth whatever naughty, disgusting, or subversive things you have to do to get in the door.
