Dick’s Sporting Goods

I’m more of an Academy girl, since they carry the same name brand sports gear at a fraction of the price… BUT last week’s trip to Dick’s saved the day. I was in search of some obscure sports gear that Academy didn’t carry. Dick’s had an extensive collection of pretty much everything at fairly reasonable prices. The store floor is well organized and maintained and the selection was impressive. Major shortcoming: the staff is only at the registers and it can be extremely difficult trying to get assistance while shopping and trying to navigate their massive store floor.

I had an unpleasant experience online and in stores; horrible customer service, not to mention over priced.

Terrible service. They stand around, know nothing about the product or inventory. Unacceptable. Do your job!

Although Dick’s prices seem to be a bit higher than some, they do have a good selection of various sporting goods. It is a big store, after all. My main connection has been with their camping equipment. Excellent selection of tents and sundries. Name brand products including Coleman. If you’re going camping on the spur of the moment they should have everything you need. We recently purchased a 10×10 foot canopy and discovered that it was way too big for our purposes. They took it back, no questions asked. Located in the Park Lane center, there is bountiful parking with an entrance from within the garage. You can do your shopping without having to deal with the weather. Save that for your camping trip.

If u want Customer Service don’t go here. The store manager, I will call him «Jim Bob» is very rude. They had an in store sale of 50% off and had the price listed incorrectly on the tag in the store. On
they had the price listed for less and he wouldn’t honor that price. He kept putting words into my own mouth and telling me that I was wrong and that the register was right, completely ignoring the fact that his own company’s website showed a different price. There was no resolve and I walk out of the store. I’m a loyal customer to anyone who provides good customer service. I will not be going back to this store.

Had to buy soccer gear for the squid. Last year I went cheap and got some crap at The Sports Authority; it was her first year and I wasn’t sure she would even like it. This year, I know she likes it, so I went here. I spent less than I did last year and got good gear. I miss Oshmans.

I’ve always said that working at Dick’s would be my dream job. It wouldn’t pay the bills, of course, so it will have to just remain a dream. And from reading the reviews about bad customer service, it looks like they could use me!
In addition to providing customer service, I’d like to be a buyer for Dick’s.
I was very disappointed to come across some cute tops and see that the sizes they had were medium and extra small. That seemed to be a common theme, even in the men’s department. They sure are missing a huge portion of the market by not stocking any larger sizes, and even plus sizes.
I still love the variety of sports equipment they have, but it just doesn’t quite give real customers what they need.

Best selection of women’s soccer cleats I’ve seen at a non-​soccer specific store. Customer service is lacking but good selection of sporting goods and clothes if you know what your looking for.
In terms of bikes, their selection is minimal for petite women. Also, for this larger purchase would recommend going to a bike store which will have better options for a bit more.

If you like overpriced items with rude service this place is for you! Worst service ever, the staff just does not care. You can tell it’s a management issue because it does seem like there is any accountability.

As a hunter this store sucks! They keep their little stock of ammo locked behind the counter. You can’t even see it. If you can’t put ammo out for hunters to shop for it then take it out of your store!!! Academy sports and outdoor here I come.

I’m used to shop at academy, this store is a little bit better than academy and little bit higher prices as well… overall i like it

I came here looking for some gym chalk and weight belts.
The cool thing about Dick’s is that they have a huge selection of fitness equipment. Do you wanna look cool and do weighted dips at the gym? They got those. I rarely buy workout clothes from dicks since it’s pretty expensive, but they do have a nice selection.
Whenever i need fitness equipment, i go to Dicks, no homo.

Great selection of work out clothes. I found shorts on sale which was great. Checking out was very fast.
The only thing I think they could work on is customer service. I was looking for about 30 Minutes and no one offered to help me and the store wasn’t busy at all.

Large selection of items. Service wasn’t super helpful (passed about 6 different people, and only one (seemed to be a manager) asked if they could help direct us to a certain item). Was disappointed they only carried 108″ boxing wraps, and not the 180″ as well.

The problem I am having with this store is that the last three times I have shopped here, and four of the last five times, I have either been overcharged or the register price does not match the shelf price. I have learned that I have to check the receipt before I leave the store because by the time I get home it is too late. This is a management problem and frankly, it is getting old. Plus, I would say that their prices are quite a bit higher than at Walmart where I can get the exact same camping item for about 60% of what Dick’s charges.

I was blown away by the size and variety of things they had here. Everyone was laid out well and it was easy to spot most of the things we were looking for. There appeared to be a good amount of sales items, but most regular priced items were a bit pricey. Based on inventory alone, I’d give this place at least four stars… but service was taken into account.
Although we were greeted upon arrival, it was hard to find someone to help us look for badminton rackets (something that is a bit more obscure). The first attendant said they had them in stock but after looking in vain and tracking down a second opinion, we were told that they didn’t have any. As a side note this person also said they probably didn’t hold badminton rackets because the sport sucked.
It’s not like we bought anything there anyway since they didn’t have exactly what we were looking for, but it’s probably best not to offend a potential customer by telling them that their choice of recreational sport blows. I know the name of the place is Dick’s… but I didn’t think the staff would take it so literal!

When you need to shop for something sports related, Dick’s Sporting Goods store is definitely the 1^st place I go to. I also really like this shopping center because there’s plenty of parking and it’s not crowded.
The store is 2 stories and they have a LOT of stuff.. .good stuff that is! They always have a clearance rack for each section in case you’re looking for something inexpensive and sometimes you can find a really good deal. Staff is very friendly and greets you when you come in and when you leave.

I can spend hours upon hours in a sporting goods depot just like Dick’s. This two-​story sports supply mecca was filled with everything I could ever need — or want: awesome workout clothes, gnarly skateboards, adorable little cheer costumes … and guns (for the outlaw in me).
The only thing lacking was a visible STAFF. There was no one (wo)manning the floor; they were only at the registers and with one greeter to be found at the entrance. Time well-​wasted, I think. We spent far too long zipping through the aisles in a rush and in search for penalty flags and bandannas.

There are not many things men are truly gullible about, however it seems softball bats may be one of them.
My kiddo is 12. I’m not sure why in heaven’s name she would require an $ 80 softball bat. But the store clerk said she did. And the ex jumped on that horse and rode it until it fell over dead.
«This is the bat she will use all the way into college.»
«Bought it a little big so she can grow into it.»
«$ 80 was the SALE price.»
Ummmmmm…she’s 12. Her attention span is about 15 seconds past the new Jonas Bros. song. Wait, they aren’t cool any more. Whatever.
Anyway I now have a girlie tween in cleats carrying around an $ 80 bat. She’s just gonna use it to womp giant inflatable Christmas yard decorations.
The store is nice, clean, new and yes it has everything a sportster could imagine wanting, and many practical things that me – the nonsportster would like to own. It’s a little pricier on some items but the store is pretty swank as far as sporting goods stores go.

Today was my first time visiting this Dick’s Sporting Goods location. In talking with one of the associates I learned they’ve been open for about a month and a half.
The place was empty.
Seriously. Overfllowing with merchandise but only maybe 5 customers. It was wierd. But here’s the skinny on what they have:
–For general sporting goods, they have it all.
–The bicycle selection had some nice rides, but was small. And full-​size offerings were only mountain bikes and hybrids. No street or racing style «10-​speeds».
–If you’re looking for camping gear/​hiking/​trekking etc… they have a cursory stock supply, but are no match for REI.
–Seemed to have a decent amount of stock for boating/​skiing enthusiasts, a rather large golfing area and a number of kayaks/​canoes. (Still REI has more on this count…)
For most items I’m looking for – I’ll head here. But there will still be a number of things I’ll need to go to REI for.
