Kids toys Clothing for everyone Camping Gear Home decor Shoes Jewelry I mean seriously- they seem to carry way more than you'd think they could fit in there. I happened to walk by last week during a shoe sale where it was an extra 40% off of their sale shoes. It was end of day on the last day of this but I was still able to score Birkenstocks and two new balance sneakers for around $130. INSANE. The employee helping us was super helpful and kept going to the stock room to see if they had additional sizes. I appreciated the effort and the fact that he didn't seem annoyed. Will for sure be back

Guy in shoes was there by himself and never said anything to me. I was ready to make a purchase, but obviously that was not what he was there for. A second employee came by and they had a nice chat. I am done. I am happy to spend my money elsewhere where it will be appreciated.

Review from 2024: I cringe if I have to go to this store and…read moreneed help. I wanted to buy a mountain bike for my teenage grandson. After finding a bike I was interested in, I was thrilled to find a button on the shelf to press for help, alas, it was broken and didn't work. I waited a good 10 minutes on line to check out. There were 2 cashiers for about 15 people (most were behind me by the time I got to one. He told me he'd have someone meet me back there. I got back there, no one! Two women were folding clothing and ignored me. Finally someone got this great guy Bryan to help me. We got my bike (which was on sale) and he cut the long line at the cashiers and checked me out. He offered to help me put it in the car too. Very helpful. The store is severely understaffed. If you can find what you want and get it up front, you're OK. But it's very difficult to get help. Review from 2018: Academy doesn't have a very good selection of tennis gear, but I guess that's based on demand. They do have great deals on decent clothing, often reduced to excellent prices. Recently I bought decent baseball caps and t-shirts for $4.99 each! Needed a couple of bikes for young grandchildren. They had a sale. Had to search for a person to help, but finally got two brand new, fully assembled kids bikes for only $44 each. Truly a good place to shop, especially if you're looking to save a few bucks.

IME, it is best to get work done after the hunting rush. Wait times get worse the closer you get to fall. Apr through Jul is usually best. I had a pistol Cajunized in the busy season and it took a little over a month. I took one in during mid-Spring, dropped it off at 11, and had it done same day by 4:30. The DA/SA are so much lighter and crisper. I have Cajunized one myself, so I know what is involved. It is surprisingly hard to find gunsmiths with experience Cajunizing, or with CZs in general. I guess it makes sense, they are far less common than Glocks, M&Ps, etc. I have had smiths tell me they do not work on CZs, or they say "we can do that, we'll figure it out," which is not comforting. Each time I came in, the associate at the counter brought me to talk to a gunsmith. He knew the order the parts go back in, that some jobs like the mag release are easier when everything is already apart, and that you have to remove the front sight pin to replace the barrel bushing. The sear cage is a nightmare to get back together, so I'm happy to outsource it. It's clear they do a bunch of them here, so it takes less time than me installing it or a smith doing it for the first time.

The store has a nice layout, and you can easily find what you're looking for. I met Leslie, who was super helpful and patient. She recommended I spend a few minutes walking around the fitting area to get a good feel of the boot to determine the best fit. I'm in between sizes depending on shoes, brand and design (6-6.5 US Women) and typically wear lightweight socks with all year-round boots. To my surprise the Blundstone Original Chelsea # 510 in size 3 (AU/UK) = 36 EU fit just right. I wore my new boots to Vancouver, and they were comfortable right out of the box, no need to break them in. I signed up for their membership and can't wait go to back to pick up a few more things--overall solid experience.

Whole Earth Provision Co. has always been a great place to find outdoor gear, unique gifts, and adventure-inspired products, and events like this make the shopping experience even more enjoyable. It was a creative way to bring the community together and celebrate the outdoors.

They have a lot of potential to be great if they just had friendlier rapport with customers.

He checked his caller ID and called someone back. Who does that anymore? Someone who cares about customer service. I told him what I was looking for and he knew he had some.

I looked around and found something else I didn't realize I needed. He has so much gear, uniforms, etc. If you are looking for something particular I highly recommend calling him. He's now looking for an old unit patch for me. Ed was so nice, helpful, easy going, and funny. Mr. Romeo the shop dog was a cutie also. I'll definitely be back again.
