West Marine was

open on Friday before 8AM. I went down to get our boat to haul it inland (it was stored to close to some trees) and went by the West Marine store near Cherry Grove to see what time they opened. It was just before 8 AM, I saw the sign said they opened at 9, so I started to leave. There was a gentleman inside who motioned for me to come on in. He said he came in early in case anyone might need dock lines, etc. I’m just mentioning it because I know alot of people do not care for West Marine; however, I thought it was nice they opened early in case someone needed to purchase something. They might not always have the best prices, but we’ve found the customer service at that store to be top notch.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge…Proverbs 1:7

I stopped in during lunch on Friday. The guy running the store was very helpful as he was the last time I was in there. Said they had sold a lot of dock lines.

I agree that the prices are a bit steep. But says a lot when you can go somewhere to get what you need.

The newest Manager in CR is a pretty nice guy. My problem with West Marine is their Prices. I know they have to make a profit to stay in business but 300% mark up is Steep (in today’s World).
