one of the worst skateboard shops out here in OC the worker smelled like alcohol and the shops never open when it says it's open open sign in the front of the shop and closed to sign make up ur minds needs to be more professional great deals but never opened is crazy i always come here looking to get a board for my sesh but ALWAYS closed maps says open 1pm-6pm come always between that time and still closed all the time so sad a great business like this isn't taken seriously read more

Bought some bearings today. Found this place through Facebook. The bell on the door didn't even work lol. Place was dark and hella messy. He had some ándale bearings I was inquiring for and he went to go get em and I said I didn't know this was a whole skate shop. To which there was No reply at all I had to ask if I could look around he sighed and said sure. Like if I was bothering him. Turned on the lights and he just hovered near me literally like 3 feet away just standing around. It was so awkward like bruh back off ended up buying some bronsons raw for $35 which was hella cheap but bro it's blatantly unconcerned. Judging from previous comments it's been the same experience for others; I don't think bro knows that he comes off that way or he just doesn't care lol. Nonetheless, score on awesome bearings for cheap but customer service is poor and a little uncomfortable read more

They sell decks that aren't the brand displayed on them, same with the wheels and trucks. They just buy cheaper blank decks and use the same design prints, but the boards are pure garbage, no doubt about it. read more

The guy was very helpful and nice helped me select my board and such also was willing to do things for free

This store has a lot of goods at a lower price. I saw a lot of boards for only $30. I got my items at a lower price and I recommend checking out this spot. The owner seemed chill overall a good experience read more

The person who worked there was extremely rude and not helpful. I asked where are the skateboard wheels are and he just rudely said over there I don't know what you looking for and we only accept cash... So much for helping small shops I will take my business elsewhere. Anytime businesses accept cash only makes you wonder if are scamming the city/sales tax. read more

My daughter wanted her first board. They are reasonably priced, as I've gotten others for my sons at higher price. They do not take cards and is cash only. I'm assuming that since they are near a H.S. the reason they have the doorbell is to prevent any theft. Customer service could be better. My daughter is happy with her board, and that's what matters. read more

Quick visit for a board for my young son, who is a first time-er. No issues and great deal. Recommended.

If I could label this place ZERO stars I would. The owner was rude and bothered that we showed up to buy a board. He acted like it was a burden to him to unlock the door. He said read the sign ring the bell. There was no customers and it was dark and dirty. I decided to leave because Of his piss poor attitude. I called after leaving and asked if he was the owner or if he worked there he said he was the owner. I told him he has an awful attitude and I was willing to spend the money for my son to support small businesses. But he will never make it with his poor customer service skills and bothered attitude. I also let him know I would be writing this review. Don't spend your money here!! read more

The shop is dark so it might look like it's not open but if that signs flipped open, ring the bell and he'll show up. Dude is chill with me, he's just annoyed of people trying to haggle him. I'm a quick shopper, I know what board I want, what size and what shape. The boards are priced very well and doesn't seem to have any issues with warping or delaminating. He's got many different brands and sizes to accommodate everyone's needs. If you're comfortable with being locked in, have an idea of what you need, and are looking for prices lower than any other shops then come through and get hooked up. Have gone back multiple times and will be back again. Oh and it's cash only. read more

I've been to this shop a hand full of times due to the fair prices they have for their inventory. However the idiot running the show seems like he hates his job and is unenthusiastic about answering phones or even attending to a customer at the shop. For that reason I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

DO NOT COME! Owner has very poor attitude and made smart remarks. He was making me wait for the door to open and when he finally got the door for me he claimed I couldn't read. I took this offensively because my left eye had a patch on it. I continued to go inside to buy a board and I was asking for the prices of some skateboards and he said "You have a smart phone right? Look it up." The lights in the store were off, he had the door locked 3 different times, and he was overall being an asshole. Honestly I think they're covering up something bigger with the skate shop because they only accept cash. I truly do believe this skate shop should just be overall shut down. EXTREMELY POOR EXPERIENCE! read more

This dump has the worst customer service ever, my boyfriend and I were probably their only customers for the day, and they were just down right dense. Do not come to this shop unless you want to be ignored. The fat dude doesn't know the difference between his ass hole and a hole in the ground. Not to mention, they're overpriced and don't know what they're talking about. read more

Yikes. Saw a huge bones poster on the window and thought I scored. Shop looked closed, cruised up and tried the door, locked. Some dude said you have to ring the bell. Uh ok I said. Can I come in now, he looks me up and down and says, "do you know what you want?" "Stickers," I say as I peek behind his globular frame at the dismal selection. "We only have Primitive cartoon stickers" I just left. No goodbye. This isn't a skate shop. I came here to get stickers for my nephews helmet and bearings, hardware and a new deck. Negative ghostrider read more

I got my first board from here when I started skating years ago and have kept coming years later and man the service absolutely sucks. There's a big guy working there and it is the most awkward thing in the world when you're the only one there since he just stands in one spot and stares at you. The boards however are great and a lot cheaper than any other skate shop you will ever go to that I can guarantee you, which is why I continue going. read more

Horrible customer service. Came in for some hardware and the dude was the worst. Not helpful at all. Headed toward another skate shop in Downtown Fullerton to get what I needed. read more

The quality you get for the prices you pay at Aljek are incomparable to any other skate shop I've been to. If you want to get the best deals from a legit source then Aljek is for you. Not to mention the owner is a super chill dude and he patiently answered all my questions related to the products I bought. read more

I went here to get a board because my old one lost its pop , to get in you have to ring the door bell which is kind of odd , but the guy was chill and he griped my board and did a good job , the boards are pretty good for the price , I plan on coming here now for all my skate stuff read more

I am going there to go buy a flavored deck and can u please help to find good wheels to thanks read more

Aljek - Sporting Goods Near Me - Anaheim, California

This place is...well...bizarre. First of all, they keep the store locked during business hours (I know...what the hell, right?!?). You have to ring a doorbell and some guy who looks like he wants to be ANYWHERE but there comes and lets you in. As soon as you're in, they lock the door behind you. So, right off the bat, it's weird. My recent visit to this place went like this: the SECOND I'm through the door (before I even had a chance to see the place or look around) the guy who works there blurts out: "What are you looking for?" with a tone that made it sound more like "What the hell do YOU want?!" I replied: "New shoes." He asks: "What kind?" Me: "Umm...I don't know. I haven't even seen what you carry yet. Something that looks good and is comfortable, I guess." Him: "What size?" Me: "Well, I usually wear size 13." Him: "Well, we don't have ANYTHING in 13!" Apparently he knew, right off the top of his head, that their ENTIRE inventory contains no size 13s in ANY brand. Weird, right? Me: "OK then...guess I'll be going." So I did an about-face, waited for the guy to unlock the door (WEIRD!), and left. I never did get to look around the store! And the clerk seemed only too happy to see me leave; he came across as a total prick. It was like they didn't WANT customers and just wanted to get rid of us! It was one of the strangest shopping experiences I've ever had. I won't be going back considering there are a bunch of other skate shops in the area that DON'T suck like this place does. read more

Bought a complete blank deck with their logo all over it today. Customer service was not good. The bigger guy who was sent to help me spoke to me monotone like he hated his job and was not very informative. He didn't look or sound like he knew anything about skating (I personally have been skating a decade). I asked if it was a 31" by 8" board. He said "something like that"... Once I just decided to grab one that felt good and go, his last words to me as I walked out were "cheapest complete we have.." In a sarcastic *why didn't you spend more* tone. Bad experience. But I love my new deck for the price. read more

A really good selection of everything needed to skateboard. Name brand decks from $20 and up. Blank Deck special with grip tape $10 (has store logo spray painted all over, but really cool). Bought 2 decks, 1 set up (Royal Trucks, Misfits wheels, ABEC 5 Bearings, and bolts; also 2 sets of blank wheels. Pretty stoked on the boards. Not sure about the blank wheels, will update later. Roy helped us out and is totally chill. All in all, check it out, they have everything you need for skateboarding. read more

Please don't come here, go to United boardshop! The guy was a dick and no help whatsoever! No wonder why they don't have any customers!

This place is horrible, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. First of all, they opened until 11:30. Thirty minutes AFTER the set opening time. Second, some big guy was hovering around me the WHOLE time while I was in there. Like, dude, I'm not going to steal anything. Also, after I had picked out a deck and some wheels, I was heading towards the counter and he snatched the deck out of my hands. Then he said, "you have cash right?" I told him I had my card, and he rudely responded, " Nah, cash only." To which I replied, " well on the yelp it says you guys accept card. You guys should change that if you don't accept cards." Then he replied, " too bad, cash only." Overall, HORRIBLE customer service. Not to mention you have to ring a door bell to even get into the store. read more

This is still my favorite shop around, at first it was weird having to wait for the door to be unlocked but the owner is cool, I believe it's his parents working there also ? They're nice and cool too, prices are low on literally everything and they have a wide selection read more

Ive been going to this shop for years they are a cool shop located in anaheim. They make skateboarding affordable for me. For example they have baker and deathwish boards for 35$ where can you find a deal like that???? No where!!! I would suggest if you are on a budget and want to skate!!! read more

If you need some one to kiss your ass when you walk in the door and help you find a deck or wheels or trucks WHEN EVERYTHING ABOUT SKATING IS PERSONAL PREFERENCE then you need to go some where else. if you love skating know what youre looking for and want some one thats been in the business longer than all the other shops this is your place. yes hes a bit crass and rude but this is a SKATE SHOP not a kmart or big 5. Know your shit and get what you want. the prices are ridiculously low and the stock is unbelievable.. as far as the guy complaining about him knowing they dont carry size 13s... The guy working the counter is the owner he knows EXACTLY what he has in stock he knows what size decks he carries what size wheels and what ever else might be in the store. He has no reason to lie to you about anything.. why would he pass the chance at selling you shoes or anything else for that matter.. stop complaining about service when service does not matter, you are not owed a smile, a handshake, a greeting by anyone least of all in a skate shop. The 5 stars are purely for stock pricing and things that matter... if youre not at a restaurant, service does not matter. read more

Best skate shop in town, good selection, definitely the lowest prices of any. The big guy is really cool in his own way, it must be hard dealing with people and their dumb questions all day. I used to be in the business and people want you to cater to them for an hour on a sale where you might make $5. If you want to be smiled at and treated like a prince, go tell your mother you love her. Go do that anyway. read more

Best skate shop in Anaheim, been coming here since I first started skating which was 3 years ago and to this day still come whenever I need a new board or looking for something I need #supportyourlocalshop read more

I read a review about this place stating that customer service does not matter when you come to a skate shop because its personal preference when it comes to skateboarding. While this is a true its still a business and someone acknowledging you in a friendly matter goes a long way. Ive been to this shop about 3 times and yes its true you have to ring a doorbell to be let inside and i guess the reason behind that is because when they didn't use this method they were being robbed during the day when the guy behind the counter would go to the back to check on something. I guess thats understandable but every time ive been here this guy just stares me down and just gives me a bad vibe the store is really quiet and it just doesn't feel comfortable like other skate shops. Ive never bought anything from here and probably never will just for lack of comfort. I would not recommend this shop to anyone check out programme skate and sound in fullerton not only do they sell skate stuff they also sell records if you are music savy. Oh and Jokers skate shop in HB is bad ass shop and worth the drive if ur from anaheim read more

I'm actually really surprised to see all the bad reviews on the shop. Me and my boyfriend went in to get him two new decks, with literally no issues! Yes he has to unlock and lock the door, that's the choice of security they use. He welcomed us and asked what we were looking for, once we answered he was very informative. He let us know prices on everything. He had a full 10 minute conversation with us laughing and making jokes!! My boyfriend says he'll be going back, the prices are cheap suck it up! read more

The prices here are crazy good! Less than half the price of places of like zumies and identity. I could care less if anyone's nice to me. If you're actually good at skating and know good prices when you see it, then this is the place for you. I come here all the time and always hear the ridiculous questions these poseur kids ask. like, they think the difference between a 7.8 and an 8 matters. If you actually know how to skate, then it doesn't matter. This is my new place for good, inexpensive gear. read more

This skateboard shop has cheap and nice boards the selection of boards are nice and a very good price. The completes are very nice and good completes not like other stores where the board is good but the wheels and trucks are bad. read more

I don't know why there are so many haters on this place. What do you want the guy behind the counter to do? You want him to follow you around the shop? Now that would be awkward. My experience there was actually really good. I went in needing a board from start to finish with long board wheels on it. I went in looking for the cheapest options for deck, trucks, spacers, wheels, and hardware. I bought my red bone bearings online... i forgot how much they were at the shop. However, my wheels were gel like, the deck was the house deck and they put grip on it, and the guy behind the counter answered all my questions. I really don't understand what people were expecting from the guy. He answers questions and helped me get out the door with everything I needed. Best of all the prices were surprisingly cheap. I would definitely go back and do it again. I was very happy to find this hole in the wall skate shop. I am just glad its still around. read more

I like this place because it's cheap but the guy is suck a Ass hole and why does he keep that door locked during business hours aren't doors supposed to be unlocked during business hours like wtf people barely shop there because he is a Ass hole if he wasn't a Ass hole more people will like him and more people will shop there and why is that store always close if that dude if lazy to be that his store why doesn't he hire people like wtf he should hire people and if he thinks people are going to rob him that's why before invented cameras and stop closing to much or no one is going to buy there anymore but if you want to get a cheap board and a cheap deck all are complete you should go there just try to stand that douchebag I still go there because it's cheap and they have really good decks I could buy two decks there with the money that I could buy one at other stores read more

One star was the lowest option I had If it was for me I'd put -5stars. It's pretty clear that I'm not the only one that has an issue with this rude prick behind the counter. Its the closest skate shop to my house and after today's experience I will most definitely be driving an extra 5-10miles to another shop. That has to be the most mediocre, most pathetic coustomer service I have ever had. For starters I did have to ring the door bell to be allowed in. I understand the extra precaution for the thefts however why is it that I feel I'm not welcomed. For those ignorant people who say customer service is not an obligation, you're just as pathetic as that pricks attitude. This guy obviously hates his life and neglects his customers. If thats the case, don't run the shop, go wipe toilets for a living. I was spoken to like I was a complete moron. I wasn't attended until I asked a question and even then he was dull and an asshole about it. He had no interest in helping me. I came in looking for grip tape, he didn't even show me them. He simply gave me two grip tape brands, when I asked to see them, his response was the price of each one as if I couldn't afford it or if I was gonna run with it. Everyday skaters go into shops, passionate about the sport of skating and the last thing we expect is a scum that ruins your shopping. I will highly recommend anyone and everyone who is interested in coming to this shop for boards and parts to drive the extra 5 miles to your next shop. Trust me your saving yourself time And won't have to deal with that guy. I wouldn't introduce this guy to my enemies. He's a sad guy and somehow feels his lack of great customer service won't be the deal breaker. Do yourself and all of us a favor pass on the shop to someone more passionate about the sport. Fullerton shop it is. F#%! This shop read more
