What's been your most memorable trip/outdoors experience?
Visiting the Palawan and Boracay in the Philippines!
What first brought you to GOPC and what do you love about working there?
I was looking for a part-time gig and since I love the outdoors and love supporting local establishments, I thought "why not?!”
The amazing staff and coworkers were an additional bonus!

What has been your most special customer moment?
Not quite a “customer” moment but it goes to show how we (GOPC) will go out of the way to always help when we can. In this moment, an elderly gentleman with a walker came in thinking we sold tennis balls (to replace the two he had on feet of his walker to help it glide easier). Thanks to GOPC being dog friendly, we were able to give him 2 tennis balls (sorry, Bella!) which made his day. He was so grateful that we could help him.
