Well, the crank broke and the hoops stayed at 6 1/2 feet.. I went to Dicks and Andrew was so helpful. He not only made phone calls for me but he also sent emails and CC me so I could see the communication. Long story, short version is I received my replacement crank and fixed the hoop. I also took off the crank and stored it so no more 6 1/2FT hoop. Thanks again Dicks and especially Andrew. He is truly an awesome employee.

So, much to my surprise, an associate was ready to help me immediately as I walked in. He showed me the current version of the sneaker I was looking for, however I wanted last year's version and they did not have it. I am not a fan of Olympia and this epic failure just adds to my current feelings. I do however think their store is neat and I find their employees friendly.

Walked in Saturday November 19, 2016 to buy my son a pair of basketball sneakers. I decided I could…read moreuse a pair of running shoes. According to the flyers displayed on the sneakers, if you purchase one pair you get the second pair 25% off. Once we decided, I approached the check out counter to pay. The assistant manager told us the sneakers did not qualify for the sale discount. We also had a sale coupon that he rejected. The total for both pairs was over $200.00. My wife and I decided that they were up to something so we abruptly handed back the sneakers and left. Crooked outfit stay away from this store....very under handed business tactics. Buy online and save your self money and aggravation.

I saw a Japanese license plate in the window one day and finally went in to buy it. I walked around…read morethe store first. It is more than just a skate store. They have great footwear, clothing, skateboards, accessories and more. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and the prices are very reasonable.

I like the eclectic artistic graphic design of the product, that is neuveax contemporary angst, yet fresh and stylish. Not necessarily mainstream, and yet not "dirty grunge," kid stuff either. Just a quick glance won't reveal the treasures you might miss judging the book by its cover; it's worth the time to delve in to investigate a more diverse wardrobe selection.

If you're wondering how a small fitness store like this can stay in business versus all the big box…read moresports equipment stores, it's all about the customer service, the actual equipment service, and stocking great products, not lemons that will break after a year. After many failed attempts at getting to the gym (getting up and getting to the gym in the dark of winter with 10 degree temps takes some willpower!), we went to check out what the WFS had. They had a used Life Fitness elliptical, which was still somewhat pricey compared to some other brands you can find online, but Charlie told me, in an honest, not slimy sales guy way, that these machines last a long time with very little maintenance and they rarely got them used. I trusted him and now over 2 years later and through a move where it had to be broken down and set back up, it's still running amazing. Chris in the service department is also fantastic. I think the only reason someone wouldn't go here for exercise equipment is if you're just not in the know. Otherwise, it's a no-brainer. Support a local company staffed by friendly people, and top of that you don't have to go through all the annoyances of trying to deal with the big box stores and all their outsourcing of delivery, maintenance, etc. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!!

Going to another store in the area brought us to Cabela's to waste some time. If you have ever been…read moreto a Cabela's it's kinda what you'd expect just not quite as over the top as some of the extremely large locations. Anything outdoors wise and hunting/fishing it is a solid option. Likely paying more than some other avenues of buying the items, but maybe you can get lucky with a sale. They have staff as soon as you enter trying to sell you on being a member and what not, annoying but can walk past them. It was nice enough to browse for awhile and waste time. Despite not being the largest Cabela's it is still very large. Also for yourself or if you have young ones seeing the animal displays is a great reason to stop by as well. I suspect the quality here has gone down in some part back when Bass Pro Shops acquired Cabela's considering they were the biggest competition of each other. Leading to a worse deal for us the consumers. Potential to be a favorite store for some!

I was shopping for my other 1/2 who loves Hawaiian style shirts. One of the staff was in the area, he assisted in my finding the perfect shirts & I bought him shorts plus a few other ditties. The gentleman in glass wear assisted in tightening my sunglasses & kindly cleaned them. The guy in menswear was more than helpful. The checkout pro heard a big crash when I was pulling gear out of my cart at his register. Those big candles make a thunderous noise. Oops. He was super cool & I was checked out quickly. I will return to add their names. All 3 deserve kudos for their professionalism & kind temperament. They are a +plus+ for Cabela's!! I'm sure they've some doozies which in fact happened to me at a 2nd visit. I saw a very young female in an outfit made more for "street-walking" opposed to Cabela's outfitters. Wearing a barely there outfit leaving too much hanging around with a pair of 4" pumps teetering through the aisles wasn't working. If the fit was more fitting all the more power. Some parts are better left unseen. With that being said I've likely dealt with variable situations in my youth. (My mother would call this unbecoming rip ) Cabela's is great!! Ty!!!

Walked in looking for a pair of cycling shoes after a local store didn't have my size (and where…read morethe staff was just meh). Left with the shoes, a lifetime membership ($35 and they threw in a $20 gift card?!), and a newfound love for REI. My first time ever at an REI and I am now like... where have you been all my life? I sadly forget the name of the gentleman who helped me, but buying shoes for something as niche as cycling can be a little intimidating when you're not a pro. He not only helped me find the perfect pair but also shared so much valuable knowledge about clipped-in shoes, techniques, all the different types. It was such a great interaction that I decided to become a member on the spot. I won't go too deep into the membership since it's not specific to this store, but it basically pays for itself after a few purchases thanks to the 10% back and free shipping on everything online. I then browsed around and was impressed by everything they carry, from well-known outdoor brands to local ones. They also have this really cool section in the back where members can buy previously returned items at a heavily discounted price. LOVE.
