I had a chance to visit ‘The Tech Shop” on Northland Drive today. I went inside, just to have a look around. It was a very nice store, that was uncluttered, but seemed to have everything a runner would need. I struck up a conversation with the young staff and found them to be surprisingly engaging and, even more surprisingly knowledgeable. I decided I wanted to see the New Balance 1064’s (I run in the 1063’s), and just my luck they had my size.
What I found most interesting ,was, the conversation I had with the sales girl while I was trying on the shoe was very smart and to the point. She spoke like she cared about my welfare, she asked great questions, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent there. Other people had streamed in while I was talking to the staff, and they simultaneously looked after everyone with ease and grace.
Great job ‘Tech Shop’ staff. If you happen to be in the area, please make a point of stopping there and shopping there. You won’t be disappointed, I am sure!

Thanks for the nice review, it was really nice. I enjoyed your thorough and thoughtful review of this nice store. Thank you sooo much. I think if I was to have a sales girls like that, I would hope my children would turn out as nice and helpful as her!

Why thank you Glaven, your words mean a lot to me!
ReplyDeleteNorthland drive! What's a southie like you doing so far north?
ReplyDeleteI know Keith. It was kind of an accident I ended up there. I saw it as I was driving by to a work appt. Thought I would scope the joint out, since I have been forever banner from the Running Room, I figured I'd look at other stores. My first choice is Gord's, but now the Tech Shop is a close second.
