"I have always shopped online with City Supply, but today I finally made it to NWA for an in-store visit. WOW! It is such a cool store. They did a fantastic job with the design/ decor. I spent several minutes looking up at all of the displays… lots of vintage razorback, and camping gear. Super cool. I found several gifts for my sweet husband, including… a really cool sec fish shirt, trout hat, and an Arkansas cutting board. The CS website is nicely done, but the store… you must see the store! I am so glad I stopped in. The associates had great customer service, and rounded out my purchase with some neat razorback pins. Worth the drive from LR!"– KATIE PAZDERA
