You can usually get what you need in Sequim or in Port Angeles. But if you want a lot of choices or need a specialty something it’s time for Internet browsing or an hour’s trip to Silverdale or beyond. But travel time’s been cut down with the arrival of a new Coastal Farm and Ranch store. It’s got a lot of stuff. I’ve never seen an entire wall of mens’ jeans.
There’s plenty of guy stuff. Fishing gear. Barbecues. Guns. Plus animal supplies. Saddles. Fencing. It’s almost overwhelming at first. Really. An entire isle of canning supplies?
It occupies the site of two former stores, Staples and Del’s Feed. It’s nice to see a revival of some local retail. The QFC shopping center was looking sort of quiet.
Americans are ingenious when it comes to selling goods. That’s my personal opinion.
I have mixed feelings about places like this. Like you say it’s overwhelming. I’d like to go back to the days when Levis were Levis – you just decided on what size you needed. There are so many choices with regard to everything that it becomes difficult to decide what’s the best deal for you! 🙂
Lots of choices in the store!
Did they save a few bucks and keep the Staples colours?
“But if you want a lot of choices or need a specialty something it’s time for Internet” – same thing here, pretty much.
Usually one doesn’t see an entire wall of jeans!
Wow — that looks like quite a store! I can see how it could be overwhelming. Glad to see the location being re-purposed. (The facade is reminiscent of the previous Staples.)
Indeed lots to choose from – one could get lost in there.
