Testimonials from Our Valued Clients
"I... continue to be amazed by your exceptional Web site. I particularly like the personal Canfield's touch exemplified not only by your Web site but also by your newsletter and advertising mailers. That personal approach certainly serves you well in differentiating Canfields in your highly competitive Omaha area market."
- David D.
"I would like to continue to receive your newsletter. It's very interesting and informative! Thanks for putting me on the mailing list! I love the store! When I was a little boy, my dad would take my brothers and myself to the store on Cuming street. For me, it was like going to Disneyland, since hunting and fishing was such a large part of my life at that time. I always felt it was an adventure unlike any other store I have ever been to. It's good to know the tradition continues. My father owned the Lothrop Drug for 42 years at 3232 North 24th Street, so it didn't take long for us to get to your store and I am glad I live fairly close today."
- John M., Omaha, Nebraska
"I have been a frequent customer of Canfield's for over three years. Living over 150 miles away from the store, I really appreciate what you and all the staff do for your customers. The customer service that your staff provides goes way beyond the expected. The specials that you provide for your customers really make my trips to Canfield's a pleasure, especially when I can pick up the hard-to-find items that I search for to help make my fishing tournaments more of a success. Not only do I get greeted by pleasant employees and find the items I need, but I save money doing it. Thank you again for all that you do."
- Russ V., Grand Island, Nebraska

- Raymond F.
There is nothing quite like Canfield's anywhere in eastern Nebraska or anywhere I know of in Iowa. A great combination of camping, hunting, outdoor, work, surplus, and scouting gear. I started shopping at Canfield's when my son was a Cub Scout. My Cub Scout is in his 20s now so I don't shop so much in the Scout department, but it is still number one for work clothing and outdoor gear. I was able to get a good backpack that was exactly what I wanted because Canfield's had such a wide selection for comparison. The military surplus clothing and equipment is tough stuff and usually at an unbeatable price."

"Canfield's is the only metro sporting store where I know I will be dealing with people who are experts in their field."
- Jerry B., Fremont, Nebraska, Canfield's client for over 21 years
"Great place. Keep doing and improving what you do. You like what you do and it shows. No-hassle returns, selection keeps updating, stocks hard-to-find items. Scouting merchandise available. Friendly people."
- Bob O., Canfield's client for over 16 years
"Small-town feeling in the big city. Family-owned and very interested in their customers - their needs and concerns. Friendly and informative employees."
- Denny U.
"Thanks so much for the great customer service. Being a business owner myself and also being in retail, I know how most companies treat their customers. What you guys have done for me now and in the past will always make us come to Omaha to do our shopping with Canfield's. Thanks again."

"My husband and I moved back to Nebraska about five years ago but had never heard of or visited your store until last summer. We were preparing for our first trip to hike a small portion of the Appalachian Trail. Various members of Canfield's staff gave us excellent advice and service as we gathered our gear. He and /or we will be heading back out east to complete a little more each year, as at this time my husband does not have the time to do a thru-hike. We are also a Scouting family - husband, Scoutmaster, oldest son reached Star, youngest son: Eagle, and me, the woman behind the Scoutmaster, the mom behind the kids, the driver of Cub and Boy Scouts, and all-around "know-where-it-is" go-to person! So when we realized that you carried all of our Scouting, camping, and backpacking needs you have become our favorite store!"
- Merrie H.
"With all the big super stores popping up everywhere, Canfield's is like a breath of fresh air. I enjoy the great customer service. I always feel like any questions I have get answered. I like Canfield's willingness to help me with gear choices, ensuring I'm properly equipped."
- Jerry Bennett, Fremont, Canfield's client for over 21 years
- Davey J.
"I like the fact that Canfield's is locally owned and has a good selection of the things that help me enjoy the sports I participate in. The staff is knowledgeable in the areas they are responsible for and eager to help the customer. I have never had any problems if I had to return an item that didn't quite work for me."
- Kevin F., Council Bluffs, IA, Canfield's client for over 25 years
"I think it is a great store. It has everything you need for a great time in the outdoors. I like the friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have saved time and money, because I have not had to run all over town to find any of my supplies."
- Kevin H., Omaha, Nebraska
"I especially like the experienced staff at Canfield's. If I have any doubt in my mind as to any little problem, I know Canfield's will be there to answer it for me - that is what makes my shopping experience worthwhile. Knowing I'm getting the right answer so it will enable me to select the proper equipment or clothing makes me come back again."
- Steve L., Valley, Nebraska
"I enjoy gong to Canfield's, even when it's just a look-and-hope trip. I get so many ideas and my wish list keeps growing. Your salespeople know their products, as many of them use them. What I always like is that they aren't pushy to make a sale. They are always around to answer my questions, but they aren't 'hovering' around me. It's this kind of relaxed atmosphere in which I enjoy shopping."
- Katrina O., Bellevue, Nebraska
"Your salesperson took the time to help us figure out exactly what type/size/etc. of canoe would be the most useful for our family. Another time, we were looking for camping equipment as a gift for experienced campers, and the salesperson gave us advice for what turned out to be excellent choices."
- Jerry F., Ashland, Nebraska, Canfield's client for over 30 years
"I was in Canfield's last summer and wanted to thank you for all your help and expertise. I, an amateur backpacker, was able to truly enjoy an incredible experience backpacking Snowmass Lake Trail, Colorado. Your knowledge guided me to select the best of everything for the long weekend, from the right shoes to hike over 30 miles, including Buckskin Pass, to a backpack, tent, and sleeping bag that kept me warm and dry. Even the professionals on the trip commended me for being so well prepared for the journey. One guy's gear got so wet he had to leave the next day. I, on the other hand, wasn't fazed a bit. This was my first ever backpacking trip, the best trip, and I-can't-wait-to-do-it-again trip. Thanks again!"
