Great place has so many different things that you could ever need from Guns,Bows,Fishing stuff, Camping stuff and more it almost endless you can go in and spend a hour or two and still come back the next week and see something you missed its crazy but I love it.
Love the place. Everything you need there in outdoor sports.
Had a perfectly normal experience. Went here for a fishing pole while staying nearby at a lake. They had what we needed, we bought it, & left.Not a lot of diversity & we stood out 😅, but you know, thats not their fault. Didnt give the fifth star bc it wasnt exceptional.
I only go if I cant find what I need elsewhere i feel like the prices are just ridiculous but that doesnt stop people from going usually its jammed pack on weekends I suggest going on a weekday if possible they really do have all your outdoor/hunting/sporting gear just could lower prices a bit awesome store though friendly helpful staff lots of knowledge and experience
Every year we go upnorth for memorial day weekend we make a point to stop in here. I have been coming here ever since I was young and now I bring my children here.my kids live target shooting with the bb guns rifles and shotguns.
Great people eager to answer any questions you might have. Very friendly atmosphere great place for hunting and fishing gear.
The best place for all your outdoor needs. I stop in every time I head north to my in-laws in Boyne. I purchased a Smith and Wesson J frame a bit ago. The staff at the gun counter and archery department are very knowledgeable and helpful. Gun prices are a smig higher than other gun shops, however, you cant beat the vast selection and educated staff.
Came here to purchase a suppressor, waited in line for a while, was told by the lady that she could show me them but knows nothing. Not their fault with staffing but they have a sign at the counter listing all their fees and it says if you order online you dont have to pay the fees of something around 160$ I think. Why do you have suppressors if you are directing people to order online? I ordered online but went through great guns in TC and they were very helpful and offered to order for me or I could order myself and I used the kiosk after setting up my account online.
Great place great selection, prices are a little high, but sometimes thats worth it!
Such an awesome store. They have a better fishing selection that your local tackle store, a better hinting section than your local hunting store and a better hiking section than your local moosejaw. Such a great place!
Great place to shop. Corey did a great job in helping make a successful sale. I would definitely buy there and from him again.
Far superior to Cabelas, Jays is the best place for any of your outdoor needs! Friendly and helpful staff, warm environment. If you havent been here at all you really need to be.
Jays is Jays. If you havent been, you need to go. They have huge fishing and hunting sections. Great gear to keep you comfortable in all kinds of weather and pretty decent pricing too.
Arrogant. Period. They treat you like buying a gun is such a hassle for them. Also the gun dept. help acts like they invented firearms - all knowing gods of physics. Stay away. Franks, mom and pop shops, actually want your money. I walked in with $2500 in hand, knew what gun i wanted. Easy sale right? Well I’ll spend my money where people actually seem appreciative of a sale.Edit follow up: I appreciate the response. My review was not intended to be a negative reflection of your entire store. In fact that same day my wife bought a couple hundred dollars worth of clothes. But your gun dept. is terrible. Not the products - the people. I’ve purchased 5 guns over the last 4 years. I went to Jays ever time 1st because it is closer to my home. Every time Ive been assisted by an arrogant associate who appears to have better things to do. So why do i go back? The products are good, you have what I need. I tell myself ‘no way every person in gun dept. is an Ahole’…then I find out otherwise. Selling guns is a huge hassle. Now if your a woman inquiring about a gun, you’ll have three salesmen huddle around her for 30 mins, even though shes not buying one, just asking if she were to buy one which is best. 3 salesmen who were previously too busy to help a paying customer. In 2019 I asked about ordering an Xbolt white gold .300wm and a Swarovski Z6. Big hassle, told me not to bother, could take over a year. Went to competitor, they ordered them. Got scope in a couple weeks and rifle in less than 3 months. This time I wanted a Benelli 12 gauge. Flexible on model. Salesman, very rude, says hes busy and will help me as soon as hes done. I didnt move my feet for 15 mins. While hes standing 3 feet away at computer. I stood there quietly patient. A woman walks up, asks about a pistol, not only did he drop everything he was supposedly doing but two other salesman jumped right into the 23 minute conversation with her as well. Could’ve been longer, i dont know. I went and found my wife. Paid for clothes then drove right to franks. Which was and is always such a pleasant experience. They actually ask THE CUSTOMER questions. And rave about what a great choice I made - which could all be BS. Who cares. They sold me what I wanted, not what they think I should be shooting.
Jays is a great place to shop for sporting goods of any kind.Their gun selection is fabulous! Very reasonably priced also.
Went to Jays to have some work done on my bow, had the pleasure of working with Jacob M who was very knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process. Highly recommend for any archer wanting to maximize there equipments performance.
They changed everything around and I dont like it. I used to know where everything was. It was the one store that was easy shopping, and now I dont even want to go in because I dont want to scavenger hunt for my whole shopping list!
It is dog friendly, but you HAVE to put the dog in a shopping cart or they are not allowed in. Not very ideal for people with larger dogs. Besides that, its a good sporting goods store.
First time here and it was amazing. Definitely a huge slection of gun and all other out door itmes. Everything seemed to be fair priced.
Awesome selection of sporting goods, locally owned business. Been a customer since I was a kid. Great employees and service
Love this store! Firearm staff is very knowledgeable. Helped me find just the right 380 Walther.
Such great customer service every time Im in this store Ruth and also Mary from the gun department are beyond helpful and always so eager to assist me with anything I may need.
Great place! They have pretty much everything you need. Always worth the trip!
Always a favorite place. Staff go above and beyond with emphasis on customer service. Thank you Jays for making my quick stops at Jays always a pleasure in my travels!!
I LOVE JAYS!!!!! They always have what I am looking for, and often times I find things I wasnt looking for. Lol. Great customer service. The store is always clean and staff always have a smile.
Stopped on a trip home. Nice sizes place to shop and plenty for the kids to see and enjoy!
First time there & this place is pretty cool, will definitely be going back!
Really good selection of high end name brands, yeti, trijicon, nightforce, benchmade, etc, a little pricey but thats normal nowadays.
Love this place! They have always been really helpful and friendly to me..and a very good selection.
Some prices are decent but some are high. Service is always good.
This is the BIG,TOY STORE R US!!!!! This place STILL has GREAT service as it did when that store opened in the 80s..If theres anything you need for hunting, fishing, camping or ANYTHING outdoors, they have it or they will order it, Ive been going there since 1988, that place got me HOOKED ON BOW HUNTING, and the guy that sold me my bow, STILL works there.. With that, you go there and the SERVICE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!!!
This is one of our favorite places to stop on the way up north! Always great customer service and lots to look at for everyone!
Many items can be purchased online much cheaper, but if you dont have time to wait......
Every time we head up north for fishing or hunting, Jays is definitely our go-to for supplies.
Ill admit, its been a long time since Ive visited Jays after a bad experience (measured in years). Decided to check them out again and Id give them 5 stars for this visit. More than one employee actively reached out to ask if we needed help or if we could not find some thing we were looking for. Kind of rare these days in retail actually. Ill revisit them next time Im in the area.
Took my son here to purchase his first bow. Jordan in archery was EXCEPTIONAL! He was patient and incredibly knowledgable. Took the extra time to explain many things to my son. We will absolutely be back for this amazing customer service!
Was looking at get a new ice shanty found a Frabill HQ 300 works perfectly for my familys need it was cheaper than going on line.
I am mind-blown at some of the negative comments written here. I have been in business my whole life and have a very high standard of service. This store is an example of great customer service and pricing. I have done thousands of dollars of business here and every experience I have is above average/great. I could not be more thankful for the services, selection, and prices offered. Keep up the great work (especially during these hard times) as the majority of us real sportsman/sportswoman appreciate what you offer!
Could have only been better if they had ammo for any of the calibers I was looking for...6.5 creedmor, .270 win and 7mm-08... :-(
Good assortment and selection throughout the whole store, however their gun counter does lack some expertise, at least at the Clare location.
Great place will shop there again.
Didn’t really have a good experience when I got my 1895 Marlin .45-70 Govt. back in the summer of 2019 with the staff. I will say this I am satisfied with the gun, I ended up getting a Buck with it using Hornady’s 325 grain. Also bought ammo at Jay’s! Thank you guys so much! Will ignore the fact you thought I was a kid purchasing a gun 😁
Staff seems uninterested or even bothered to help customers. Same service mentally as the other big box stores.
Jays is amazing. It has come to represent everything outdoors in Northern Michigan.
Went in got what I wanted and didnt have to search would definitely recommend
Everyone was very polite and the cashier was nice and professional we shop there alot
Staff was very helpful because the store is huge with lots of cool stuff!
Northern Michigans best outdoor retailer. Great place to buy guns and if theres something youre looking for that they dont have they can order it for you. Great customer service and good prices.
Would recommend this store to everyone.Great customer service. Employees very knowledgeable about the store.
Fun place. I was the only mask wearer in the place. Got pistol rounds at a great price. Prices on fleece wear were pretty darned high and the sales rack stuff still seems expensive. Place was packed! Very popular
Mostly hunting, overpriced boots (buy them straight from manufacturer, its cheaper), pretty good fishing department. Camping section is subpar and no backpacking equipment. They also dont price match
Went in for reloading supplies. They dont have much of anything in that department. Their clothing prices are ridiculously high.
I have grown up going to Jays, I understand that many items are hard to find and Good Employees Even Harder. Service is Poor, Over Priced Items.
That was my first time inside Jays of Clare in probably 15 years. I wish I had more time to look around. It never ceases to amaze me how much they can fit into that small store. The selection is always great and the staff is more than helpful. If youve never been to Jays in Clare, I strongly recommend you give it a try. It doesnt matter whether you are into decorating, fly fishing, trapping or anything in between they have it
I recently had issues with my crossbow my own fault and it was 2 days before bow season opener and seeings I bought the bow from them they gave a loaner bow so could hunt. Now thats a awesome store and I thank them very much
Great variety of items and friendly employees.
Outstanding service! I travel a lot for work.I can tell you the service here is unmatched. Not pushy but very willing to assist you.The selection of products in every range and color is also outstanding.Great job Jays management team.I will be making the drive back up there. Im actually going to pass many places to buy the products I want just to do business with this business.
Ive been here three times now and walked behind my cousin, who looks white. He got greeted by everyone through out the store and got helped at the knife counter. I didnt get greeted one time. ( Actually i did once on my way out by a cashier) I stood at the knife and gun area for about five minutes, literally everyone around me kept getting help while I just stood there... So I didnt buy anything. I really wanted a knife too but the workers at this place discriminate and made me feel akward so I left with nothing in my hands. I hate to leave a review like this but its the third time it happened. The store is awesome with lots of cool toys but they need to brief their staff and tell them to treat people equally. Ya never know whos ready to spend money. .
Best store ever. Great tackle selection, stuff is always in stock. Employees are very knowledgeable in every aspect such as fishing, hunting etc. Would highly recommend anyone to go there while driving through the town.
Got Columbia hiking boots for a great deal! Love shopping here. Great selection for all hunting, fishing, etc. They have great clothes and even toys for kids.
Jays was very busy when I went there. Staff was very knowledgeable, but like most places understaffed during covid. One item I purchased was defective and had to be returned. It was recommended by an employee, so that was disappointing. The checkout lines were very long and not enough registers. I would shop there again, but not just aisle shop, Ill do my research on what I need.
Went to Jays in Clare to purchase a new compound bow. Had everything I could ever need in stock. The correct bow in stock down to the color. The correct rest, sight, quiver case. I had picked out around $2000 dollars in merchandise and could not get one archery employee to give me the time of day. 2 hours later I get oh we cant help you, we close in 15 minutes. Great selection but the archery sales staff is horrible.
Good store. You gotta be prepared to spend a little more compared to some other stores but its always a good store to go to. Have all your outdoor needs.
Large sporting goods tourist attraction in Clare. Great showcase of all different types of outdoors sporting and recreation goods and a large fishing Dept, but no specific specialty comes to mind.Check out General Jims next door
Havent shop there since father day of 94 ,wanted to buy a beretta model. 21 in 22lr, was up north working on my cabin, ( didnt have running water yet) call them they had it,and at a good price, told them Im on my way there, get there with permit in hand before (ccw). Employee looks at me (dirty from working) proceed to wait on wait on 4 people as I watch them walk up to counter, finally old boy come out of back tells emp.hes next, he said it twice to him for he was going to wait on the next walk up, bought the pistol that day ,still got it but looking back Id should just walked out than and there ,i can spend my money else were where they dont judge you on appearance only, they have lost 20 persons business for 28 years and going.....
Has about anything you want but the prices are very high save alot of money shopping elsewhere
Jays sporting goods has great deal and a great variety of items for outdoor adventures.
Went to go buy a gun and the people waiting on customers were all in the back room guess I will just look at Cabelas
Great place for hunting and camping supplies. Nice variety of shoes and slippers.
Great northern Michigan sporting goods store. Theyve got one of everything and actually have ammo and firearms now. Though some of their prices can be a bit higher, specifically ammo, they are a trip to be made for any outdoors person in the area
It was good Except for all the people we saw NOT wearing masks which were a lot and the fact they arent enforcing it. 😷 Got what we wanted and then some. ☺️
You may pay a little more but you get way more ...excellent staff !!! And Jims is something else
They have tons of sporting equipment, but just a tad over priced
I live in Alabama, and was in search of a particular broadhead for deer hunting. I called the manufacturer and they gave me Jay’s sporting goods number. I was able to call them, order my broadheads, and received them a day earlier than expected! Do not hesitate to do business with them. If they were nice to somebody that wasn’t even local, they will take care of anyone. Highly recommend!
I love Jays. The always have the shooting stuff I m looking for.
LOVE!!! This place. They have it all. Camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, some nice home items, even some great, pre-bagged, bulk candy for snacks! Bring your walking shoes... this place really does cover it all. Clothing too!Another trip today! Found a really cool telescoping fishing rod for my go bag! 🎣
Very helpful and friendly staff like what is there not to love and buy everything you need and more for your outdoor adventures
Best Sports store in the State of Michigan. Jays has it all!
My bow tech here was awesome, very knowledgeable and helpful. He completely set my bow up in 20-30 minutes. I will definitely be back to Jays for all of my hunting needs.
Im not really sure what happened but the employees used to be super friendly. Now its hit or miss on the floor and the cashiers are snots. You dont even get have a good day or evening or thank you when checking out.
Why on your website 90% of stuff for sale dont show Images??How can I buy something online if I dont no what it even looks like.Makes no sense why its this way.
Nice selection of a variety of high end items. Just not willing to pay $135 for sandals. As everyone else ammo is slim. Good selection of fishing gear
Very friendly and informative staff. Took time to get me several sizes of clothing to try and figure out which ones would work best for layering. Super happy for their input.
Horrible service rude management and cashier had attitude done shopping there.
Love jays only had a gander mt. To go to they never had what I was looking for in stock. Either had to order or take the 45 min. Trip to cabelas and to be honest they werent much better. Now I live 160 mi. From jays so I always stopped on my way up from Detroit to kalkaska I really looked forward to the stop. Over the last few years I havent got to make this stop very disappointing for whatever reason jays changed there hrs. I mean come on your a sporting goods store most of your customers hunt or fish or just enjoy the outdoors. We get out early and do our thing sometimes we need things early in the morning that we might have lost, broke or just forgot to get us through our adventure. Now your just like all the rest of the big stores opening later and forcing customers to buy on line thanks for loosing touch with the outdoor enthusiasts. Now I buy direct from the co. Not the third-party like you,cabelas, sportsman warehouse. I support the little guy or the mom and pop stores. I might pay a couple dollars more here or there but I always get what I need no hassle. Just for example when was the last time you carried buckstop apple musk?? Bet you forgot about that great product from the past. I still use it buy right from buckstop in Stanton mi. Oh well I guess times are a changing....
Always a great time at Jays. Long wait for service at the gun counter though.
Great place to shop for outdoor merchandise. Fishing, hunting, hiking they have you covered. Lots of employees. We were ask plenty of times if we needed help finding anything.
Jays has amazing staff, a big and very nice selection, just over all best quality sporting goods store Ive been too.
Love this place! Just for paying on my layaway I got a chance to win a prize for spending 100 bucks and I won a box of 50 9mm ammo! Awesome store!
They are always so helpful and friendly up there
They had a lot of good information there as well as choices.
The store has decorated nicely, the workers were helpful and the prices were expensive.
I just love Jays Sporting Goods store in Clare. I got my 380 there and I get all my ammo there.The employees are so helpful and polite, they dont make you feel rushed. I recommend them to all my family and friends!!!! Its an amazing store!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Refuse to sell items as they were marked manager was rude and unwilling to sell at price they where marked
Always good service and theres always someone to answer your qurstions
Prices are insane, but the selection and lay a way will offset the pricing. Staff is moderate, some what helpful.
Nice well organized store. Easy to find what you are looking for. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Well worth the time to stop In and shoo.
This place is awesome. If you want to find out how awesome you need to come out and see what they have. Great people and great prices.👍Hit the like if u been there. 🛣️ 👍
Its a fun store to visit. The guns are overpriced though.
I have always been a fan of fly tying, going into Jays I can spend hours just looking at what I need and the choices I have to choose for that next beautiful fly. Not to mention the classes and workshops they have and the puppies on the weekends.
My boyfriend almost cried tears of joy in this place seeing it for the first time (dont tell him I told you that) I like it too! Everything is so organized and everyone is incredibly nice. :)
Has everything you need and very knowledgeable, broke a limb on my bow & fixed it without any problems.went to Jays in Clare looking for a gun and holster got the worst service ever, Ive spent a lot of time and money over the years and dont know if Ill go back, thanks Ricky the guy behind the ammo counter maybe you should learn how to treat people.
Its like the Walmart of outdoor stores, picked up a paracord sling from cold steel tactical, and some targets.
The best outdoors sporting good store in Michigan.
The old guy selling ammo was very rude about the simple question I asked. I was very polite as I always am. I am a very new gun owner. Definitely didnt feel welcomed and dont plan on buying from there again.
I got everything I was looking for. They have more then just sporting goods, including house decor and clothing. The store is layed out and easy to find things, clean, and has very helpful and polite employees. Awesome place to go and find what you are looking for!
Nice selection of knives for hunting, fishing, or tactical purposes.
Staff extremely helpful. Prices are a on the high side
Very disappointed. we were ready to buy a pistol and stood at the counter for 40-45 minutes waiting for someone to help us. while the sales people helped other customer who walked right up. at one point a customer told the sales person that we been standing there awhile before them. and the sales person just shook her head and continued to help that customer. we had other things we were going to buy as well but i guess they did not need our money. So we left the store without purchasing anything.
Jays has great outdoor items! Theyre quite a bit pricier than some other stores, but the store is clean, has a great organization to it, and has a lot of awesome products. I would have given five stars if it wasnt for the prices of a lot of their items.
Best jays around!! Very helpful people!! Tom Simmons the air gun specialist is the BEST Around for air rifles advice and supplies!
I called Jays looking for a part to my meat grinder/stuffer. They looked and one the size I needed wasnt available. I said thank you and hung up. About 5 minutes later I received a call from Jays and they found one. I really appreciate the fact that even after our call that they took the time to try to find it. Everyone at Jays was very friendly! I enjoy doing business with them! Thank you Jays!
Actually changing my review.. Had bad thoughts about the place. Had a mishap with my bow and building arrows. Kevin and the gentleman back in the bow department set me up and fixed all the issues I had. Purely changing my review based off the few guys in the archery department that really try and help. I appreciate it! Held true to my word of changing my review. 👊
Jays is always a great place to stop for your sporting good needs. We always make it a point to stop here on our way north to stock up on fishing supplies!
Jays is more personable than Northwoods but you may pay a dollar or two more and they dont have everything but I suggest stopping at Jays first
Helpful staff got everything I needed and some
They have everything you need to get outdoors and hunt, fish, hike, camp, whatever...
Very nice but a little on the expensive side. Anything you want for fishing, hunting, and camping.
Always a great place to visit!!! Lots of sporting goods available! The staff is very professional and helpful! They truly know their merchandise
Hunting and fishing departments are top notch.Very good selection of outdoor apparel and camping accessories.Worth the visit
Went there for first time the other day. What a great place great prices. Thats all I have to say very friendly employees. Look out Cabelas
I go to Jays for 95% of my sporting goods. They may be a little more on their prices but, I can always find what Im looking for and very rarely have issues with their products. The workers are great!
Good selection. Electric bike too much.
Always have what I want and great customer service.
Its hard not to go in this store without buying something
I love the customer service I get here. Every time I visit the archery section Paul remembers my name and they have been more than helpful with the purchase of a new compound bow , they set it up and have made sure everything is correct and ready for hunting season . I have definitely been treated as a local which I am not since I grew up in KS , but it has the local feel and not commercial. They have really tried theyre hardest to keep up with all the demands during covid and still have many items in stock and are replenishing as soon as they become available also .
Bought a new sweet 16 came home it didnt eject shells after 75 rounds. The extractor finger was broken. Browning was unable to help, but Jays went ths extram mile and took the part out of a gun on the shelf to get me all set up for pheasant season!
I love locally owned, regional sporting goods suppliers. All the brands and supplies you could need for hunting, fishing, camping, outdoors clothing, footware, and, best of all, knowledgeable, helpful, kind sales staff. Oh, and firearms, they have a great selection. Stop on your way North or back home. Not a big box store, a big store that fills your needs.
I Always make a trip to jays when im in town. They have an excellent selection of firearms,ammo (under normal circumstances),targets, black powder supplies, boats, smokers, you name it. The staff is always ready and willing to help. You wont be looking around for an employee like other large stores. A staple everytime im in northern Michigan!
We had a very specific question to ask about our ice fishing auger. There was an employee waiting for us with the part we needed in his hand. He said he saw us coming, and could tell what we needed. That was the best shopping experience Ive had with needing to find something.
Wish it wasnt a 3 hr drive. But when I head out that way this is always a stop I make
I took my daughter there because we are looking for a youth sized bow for her. Jays has an excellent selection and very nice and knowledgeable staff.
Best sporting good store Ive been to in my life and Im 71. Superb and knowledgeable service. Geared for the hunter and fishing person.
Wow, I use to live in Mt Pleasant, just to be in jays a lot, live in Tennessee now and still like to come into the store. Always great place, but today after a rocky start to my birthday weekend we stopped in. The manger helping us was awesome, think his name was Paul. Got a awesome new bow, turned our trip around. Even got the triplets a drink. Thank you to the jays team
Didnt have the ammo which is very common..243 rifle. But I guess there is a Nationwide shortage. Staff personnel were helpful.
I brought my dog in and they have Canine Carts that are padded at the bottom for my dogs paws. The racks are nicely spaces so you can get your carts through and the store was very clean!
The employees staffing the checkouts need an attitude adjustment. When I put my purchase on the checkout counter, the guy turned away without a word to me and went to a phone at another checkout about 10 feet away. He kept his back to me as a I waited for more than 5 minutes. When I finally asked an employee at another checkout what was going on, he told me that I was suspected of switching price tags. After several more minutes, the guy working my checkout returned and rang up the sale, again without a word to me. No apology, no nothing. God help you if they make a mistake and mismark something. Theyre going to assume you switched the price tag.Thanks to Jays for responding to my review. Apology accepted. You have a great store and I will continue to shop there. Regards, Greg
Got it all. Fishing, hunting, camping. Good help as well.
I dont think the cloths available for woman are for anyone under the age of 60. As a petite woman there was nothing there for me. Sizes seemed to start at 4. If you are less then 130 lbs this is not good.Great shoe selectionGreat fishing, guns, and bow sections. Covid has the shelves a little emptier in the gun area but still a great place.
The friendly staff members were incredibly helpful. Store was clean and well stocked. We were even able to find the rounds we were looking for.
Love the animals around the store. Like how they have African animals as well as ones you find in America.
I ask if my dog could enter. They said he had to be in a cart. He weighs 110#.I said, I guess well shop elsewhere.She replied good then.
Huge place, just wish I would have had more time !
Super helpful and knowledgeable people with tremendous inventory.
Excellent and professional service. Knowledgeable staff!
This place has struck an odd balance of standoffish customer service, and tense salespeople, although not intrusive. Overly.I stood at the gun counter for 10 minutes and was never even greeted or acknowledged, only to find out their pistol inventory is almost empty, at least in the higher calibers, .45, .380, 9mm. People must be getting nervous. Almost no ammo either.Hardly any masks, except employees(mostly) and a few other customers. Bad Air, in a pandemic!
I have happily shopped at Jays for many years finding their selection, quality, and customer service always excellent. However, this past July 4th, 2020 weekend changed my opinion. First, I was made to wait outside in the blistering sun and heat over mandated corona occupancy restrictions. This was not their fault, but some sort of shade/cooling shelter would be more welcoming. Second, only one employee was observed wearing a mask. This seems disrespectful to customers and unfair to the employees, some who appeared to be in a high risk age group. Does this store care about their staff or customers? Third, one of the advantages of shopping at Jays is the ability to shoot bows/crossbows before buying. When I asked to trial a crossbow, I was instructed to wait...and wait...and wait until the one employee working on the busy day satisfied the one customer he was with. I never did get to try the crossbow I intend to buy in the near future. This is not the service that I have grown to expect from this store. I love supporting my local brick and mortar companies, but overall, I am very disappointed and will not be back anytime soon to this one.
Wonderful service. I ordered items online and though they did not have what I wanted they did have a suitable replacement. Even pointed out the scope I picked out was wrong, and helped me pick out a replacement. Great service.
Jays is a staple for the outdoor Michigander. The store offers a range of goods for hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing, camping, etc. Staff are knowledgeable and usually avid outdoorsmen as well to offer personal insight.*Note: While the staff at Jays all seem to take preventive measures during this pandemic, its customers not so much. Just my perspective, if that is a concern.
Greg from archery department was super nice and helpful, getting my bow fixed and going out of his way to make sure I had everything i needed to be ready.
Great store, walked right over to the insulated Carhartts and found my size! Boots, oh yeah! Had everything I needed. Unfortunately only 90% of the customers had masks on, the 10% can make the rest of us sick. Just a shame!
Great costumer service.. from Zach helping me over the phone from 100 miles away get the gun I wanted.. then get to Jays and the girls at gun counter were really busy but they held their own and showed positive attitude and willing to the extra miles. Believe her name was Ruth?..she was such a great multitasker and never lost peoples place in line..hats of Zach and Ruth..(I sure hope thats her name)!
Whats not to love about a clean, well stocked place, full of helpful people? Its all good until the credit card statements arrive...lol
Clare store. Staff always helpful. Ammo and powder slowly returning. They have no control over what theyre able to get for those two items. Theyll talk to you on the phone and let you know what is available.
Used to love it as a kid, now it just comes off as pretensious and over priced..... And way too busy
I love this place! Ive bought ammo, guns, archery equipment, boots, and fishing gear. The layaway is awesome! Always seem to have what Im after, and I always seem to find something I just cant live without. My wife knows when we get off the highway in Clare, we are heading to Jays!
Amazing store! They have everything and there staff are so friendly and helpful! I highly recommend this store for all youre outdoor needs!
Great place to go for your outdoor needs, friendly staff there to help.I enjoy going there especially on a rainy or cold day.
I dont write reviews often but I feel like it is really due this time. With the limited capacity in the gun section, we had to wait in line and be told when we could go back. The man who was standing there, Paul, could not have been kinder!! He was so great with my kids and with us and it was so refreshing to meet such a kind stranger. Then Vicki, who helped us with our purchase was very helpful and patient as I had no experience buying a weapon. Thank you both for such a great experience and for all your understanding as we tried to keep our kids occupied! God bless you both!!
Jays is my favorite sporting, gun and hunting store. They have a great variety of items that tend to run to the higher end quality wise. They arent the least expensive place to shop but they usually have what I am looking for.
Amazing selection. Great staff. This place is definitely one of the best places around for sporting goods. Would definitely recommend a visit here if youre into that kind of thing..
They have an enormous selection of good quality merchandise and the entire staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable but if they didnt have an answer they found a staff member who could answer your question. Even though the store was extremely busy the staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. This is the place I will be happy to spend my hard earned money.
Had a great experience here I bought a duck call and am very satisfied with it.
Great selections of gear for just about every outdoor adventure you could be looking for! Prices are decent
One stop shop for everything outdoorsy youll need. Also very friendly and helpful employees. Store is clean and organized :)
Always enjoy going to Jays. An excellent selection of everything needed for hunting, camping, and basically everything outdoor. I was there today and spent quite a bit of time and money but as I was checking out the owner of Jays approached me and gave me a free hat and some other small gifts without my asking and without knowledge of the fact that he was the owner. He was super helpful when I had questions and helped me find everything I needed. Prices are a bit high but fair, which is to be expected. Dont hesitate to do business here!
Great service, bought some boots
One of my favorite stores to stop at
Business as usual, great selection of quality merchandise. Friendly staff. The allow well behaved pets inside the store. A must stop if in the area.
Great variety of all outdoor supplies and cheap prices
Wonderful source for all things outdoor adventure and hunting. Helpful staff. Fun to just browse if you are not in need of anything specific.
This place is AWESOME. They have everything that a sportsman would want. At least take the time to check it out. You will find everything you need for your sporting needs.
My buddy and I went to the fishing section where there was an awesome dude named cody, he helped us a ton and had a whole bunch of information, if it were up to me he would get a raise because he was a great dude.
Awesome sporting goods store! Very big and they have pretty much everything for fishing, hunting, sporting, boating and camping.
I was so disgusted with the lack of virus protection and their lack of concern for other customers and fellow shoppers.Forty per cent of the customers were not wearing masks at all. I have never seen a store show such lack of concern.It was not a healthy situation during a pandemic.
Jays is the place to go in michigan for any outdoor sports equipment. Friendly, polite and very knowledgeable staff. They go above and beyond to help your shopping experience aenjoyable.
More geared for impulse buyers heading north from the city. Nice place to be able to see or handle a product you might be interested in. If not in a hurry or need right then, buy elsewhere from a true proshop, where youll receive more one on one customer service and most likely a better price. Was quoted an archery product today 3x the price it actually is. They may have a few employees that actually know the department. The rest...warm bodies who are not by any means well versed in the products they sell.
Always love visiting Jays and giving my credit card a workout.
Always a fun time at Jays. We have a small group of guys that go 1 day every other week. The people behind the counter are great. Of course theres always 1 rotten apple but the others out weight the bad. Costumer service is great and knowledge about, if they are not sure they find someone who is. Prices are so so, sometimes you find a great deal and other times you take a step back. Even with everything going on recently the employees were still super friendly and made sure everyone was getting help.
I’m from a major city and traveled quite a bit and have seen many type of stores. This store is something different, not in its products, which are hard to find if your don’t shop online, but in it customer support. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and plentiful. Fair prices, you might find a better deal online, but not the customer support.
Went on 10/24/2020 to the hand gun department, but unfortunately the sales rep was rude and didnt have time to speak with us. His attitude was business is booming, and was unwilling to answer any questions. I asked him a simple question, which he refused to answer, when I decided to leave, a different sales person, answered my question. Must be nice to be independently wealthy.
One of the best sporting good stores ive been too. The selection is amazing.
They have everything. Annabelle back in hunting was great....went in for a trail cam, but 3 cams and a new ladder stand....
I like guns, bullets, and knives and they have them all. So if youve not crossed over to the cumunist leftist side and still believe in your 2nd amendment right to keep an bear arms you should go to Jays and buy a gun. Also get a shirt, fising pole, duck decoy, Filson wool coat, black rifle Coffee, Benchmade knife, waiders, recurve bow, muskrat trap, gun powder, flame thrower, beard oil, coyote pelt, hults bruks axe, and a gumball while your there.
Always love Jays, except for the prices. Also it seems to be moving more and more toward being a gift shop. Of course they still have a good selection of sporting goods.
Personally, I love this store! I think they are a little bit on the expensive side but they have an awesome selection and an enjoyable experience walking around the facility. Staff seems really knowledgeable and as always helped me with anything I needed. It is nice to be able to walk around and look at the animals with the kids as well
Big, prices seemed ok but nothing great, a certian muzzle loader was 100 more than my lgs which is nothing special
Anything you need for hunting, archery, ice fishing, ammo, guns and safes this place has it all!
I put a Excalibur crossbow in layaway a few months ago. I went to get it out of layaway and they put it together for me when I got to the store . when I went back to the archery department counter after they put it together it was the wrong camo color then what I test shot and wanted. A sales person grabbed the wrong box and put the sales receipt on it and after talking to the manager and another sales person we finally got it straightened out. I want to send a big thank u to sales person Jessica and the manager Paul for going above and beyond to working with me and making another very happy consumer. I definitely will be back.

2022-06-23The entrance was full of large merchandise and this made it hard to navigate into the store. The store was great as usual. Clean, friendly, beautiful womens clothing and with plenty of staff to assist the customer.

2022-03-13I am very impressed by the associate Corey that helped my purchase my first firearm. I went in not knowing much and he was absolutely wonderful explaining everything. He helped me pick out the perfect hand gun for my first one and walked me through everything I needed to know. There was a mix up when I came to pick up the gun he had set aside for me, but regardless, I will only be recommending Jay’s sporting goods and Corey specifically to anyone I know interested in purchasing a fire arm. Thanks so much for all your help Corey!

2022-05-12Amazing outdoor store. Great selection of firearms, ammo, bows, fishing rods and reels, etc. Basically if its outdoors they have it. Great employees, very helpful and friendly. The mounts of semi exotic animals adds a nice touch. Nice camping section as well.

2022-03-14Purchased a firearm online. They were great. Had a follow up email to sort out the details of my FFL and a few days later it was in my hands. Great staff. They care about making the sell happen.

2020-08-23This is an absolutely enormous sporting goods store! Hunting, camping, fishing-guns, guns what appears to be annsmmo tower. Bows, accessories, kayaks, shoes boots.While they do have a huge selection of everything outdoor, they’re also the only big sporting good store in the area. That being said, I think their prices tend to be mostly in line with other sporting goods stores & slightly higher on some merchandise.The store is very clean, I was asked several times if I was finding things ok. Easy to find your way around. From the outside, it’s easy to see from the road. The parking spots seem to be a bit snug for full sized vehicles.

2022-06-17Not one to leave reviews but lately a lot of companies have been pretty terrible to work with. Called and ordered a fish finder/GPS that was out of stock everywhere else but they had one. The graph was shipped the same day I ordered and received it the next day. Pleasure working with Jays and will get more of my business in the future.

2022-03-06Not my choice to shop, the prices are too high. Nice products, just priced too rich for my blood. Most ammunition is not available. Gun counter is not very good to get help to see about purchasing a certain shotgun or pistol.
