    Hmmm. I'm not used to such poor customer service. Girl at register about 5 feet from me. Doing nothing. Did not ask me if I needed help or wanted to see any of the watches I was looking at in counter. I won't be going there again..

    Overpriced considering the quality. You're better off ordering on Amazon. Not sure I would go back to this place .

    I bought a new treadmill and received excellent customer service from the store manager, Eric…read more When my delivery got delayed he jumped into action and made sure I received my treadmill as promised. He and Ray delivered and assembled the equipment in record time and their personal involvement in remedying the situation spoke volumes in terms of how much they care about their customers. Highly recommend this store and employees who make a difference!

    *Best Dick's in Town"…read more Dick's is a mega-corporate chain that's now the #1 sporting goods retailer in the U.S, with over 700 locations as of 2024. Dicks had an IPO back in 2002 and trades on the NYSE under the ticket symbol DKS. Their retail prices are standard. But also some very reasonable pricing and great discounts & sales too. I still miss Sport Chalet and Sports Authority that unfortunately filed for Bankruptcy back in 2016. I also prefer to shop local and support the Mom & Pop shops. But brick and mortar sporting goods stores have become dinosaurs...so I've grown to like Dick's. It's become one of my go-to's when I prefer to try something on or experience the product prior, opposed to online shopping. And Dick's has much better quality brands and inventory compared to Big 5. Been to this location a handful of times, and each time made a purchase. I've also ordered from their website once because the size of the item I wanted wasn't in stock. The layout here is decent but the store itself is always clean and pretty well-stocked. There's usually a fair amount of store team members wandering around either stocking or tidying the sleeves & racks. A few of the Team Members here are very helpful & kind and seem to care about customer service and experiences. Reason for knocking off a star? Some of the team members here, as well as the ones at the check-out register, appear as what I call "dialing-it-in and punching a time clock" because they act as tho they don't wanna be here...and are too cool for the room. I wonder if this stems from management here...or they haven't a clue and my reason for pointing this out. Because some of Dick's Team Members need to be better Team Players or go take a seat on the bench.

    I recently saw a social media post announcing that Runner's Warehouse was opening in La Quinta so I…read moredecided to go and check it out. Upon arriving at the store, I was initially confused since the signage says Sports Warehouse. Upon walking to up the store entrance, I saw logos on the door signifying that the store contains sports equipment for tennis, running, pickleball, and other racket sports. When the store opened, I was warmly greeted by store employees and asked if I need assistance. While walking around the store, I was impressed by the layout of the store as well as the clearly labels sports areas of for tee is, running, and pickleball. The store has a good balance of clothing as well as sports accessories including footwear, rackets, and Stanley tumblers. After walking around and looking at items for running, tennis, and pickleball as viewing the prices for numerous items in the store, I decided to purchase a pair of socks. I would have purchased a running tank tops from the store but it appeared that they didn't carry shirts for plus size runners in the store. After selecting my running socks, for purchase, I asked the employee if they accept Apple Pay and was happy when she replied yes. The employee who rung up my purchase was friendly and efficient. While my shopping experience was pleasant, I suggests that the addition of plus size clothing for bigger runner would open the store up to an bigger customer base as well as maybe adding a clearance section in the store for budget conscious shoppers.

For Tennis, there is a great selection of tennis rackets and shoes. There is also quite an assortment of accessories ranging from dampeners, over grips and a large selection of strings.

But this place ain't going to make it to the Finish Line if this is how they conduct business. Terrible inventory and customer service with a sterile unwelcoming vibe. Two young girls planted behind the counter couldn't care less about selling shoes and fell flat on their chin before the Finish Line. (more on this later) Wifey was looking for a pair of OnClouds. Went to Dick's and they suggested going to Shoe Palace because they didn't have the color she wanted. We went to Shoe Palace. The place was jumping & thumping with lots of people, nice music, and outstanding customer service. We were approached by 2 separate team members asked "do you need help with anything" and "if you have any other questions just let me know." They had 10 pairs of OnClouds but not the color wifey was looking for. We were told to "try Dick's or Finish Line." We said "just came from Dick's", showed her my shopping bag and told her how Dick's sent us here. She suggested to "check out Finish Line on the floor down below." I said "I appreciate your assistance, willingness and recommendation." And we thanked her. Fast-Forward to the Finish Line: We wondered around as the only customers inside, looking for OnClouds. It didn't take too long because there's none and not much inventory here. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. But we could hear the two young gals behind the register in the back, babbling & laughing away, more interested in their personal conversation. As we walked towards them & approached to ask if they had any OnClouds, they kept talking to each other even though they had seen us walking towards them. Then as I was standing in front of them, I even had to say "excuse me" because it was apparent we were disturbing them lol. I'm totally 100% serious and being truthful. I shouldn't even be wasting my time writing this. But truth be told? I'm trying to help because I don't like to see places go out of business when one of main reasons is due to awful customer service from teenagers or young adults, who don't get it nor care about anything other than themselves. It was then I realized why Shoe Palace was jammed packed on a Friday night...and why Dick's is the #1 Sporting Goods store in the U.S...and realized why this Finish Line belongs in the End Zone. And what did one of them respond to us when asked if they have any OnCloulds?" With a disturbed look on her face for not being able to talk to her colleague/friend and answer our question..."look on that rack over there" while pointing towards it with her chin lol then continued their conversation. It's funny but it's not. And "that rack" was simply a discounted display with some scattered shoes & sizes -- no OnClouds. At least at Dick's (where we purchased some Nike Slides) they suggested we check their website and mentioned checking out Shoe Palace. At least at Shoe Palace we were told "we get new inventory every 2 weeks if you want to check back...and you can also see if Finish Line has them" with a smile. True Story: one summer while still in high school, I had a job at a very popular shopping mall in the Westside of Los Angeles, at a store called The Complete Athlete. One of my best friend's was my co-worker. We became good friends with our other 2 co-workers, and all 4 of us became very friendly with the GM and his assistant manager. We all loved our jobs. We were grateful and thankful for being able to be employed here and earn money for the summer, because there was a waiting list to work here. We had pride in ourselves & team. We also loved to talk to each other while working -- especially about sports and food. We were usually busy with customers and when we weren't, we were making sure the store was always tidy, neat and clean. But the moment a customer walked in, we stopped talking and whatever we were doing (unless tidying) and one of us would kindly approach & greet the customers, like a good team player does. And if you're still here reading? This, Yelpers & Yelpees, is what customer service and respect is all about. No wonder online shopping is hurting so many businesses. Who wants to waste time dealing with such poor attitudes. Forgive me for expressing myself at length. I love seeing all people succeed & flourish and always root for the underdogs. If you follow my reviews, you see & read that I love to sing praise...but also not shy to criticize when necessary. And this is one of the few times I'd give a ZER-0 rating instead of the 1-star default Yelp requires. Unfortunately, some people still don't get it and probably never will. And it's very sad because either store managers & owners are unaware of what's going on when they're not there...or they're the bigger problem too for neglecting their staff and completely oblivious.

Very odd in a sense which didn't feel right. Then we found this place driving by. It's a massive store. Plenty of parking out front. Front the outside it just looks like your usual store but once inside, it's like a mega golf store. Theres literally everything and anything you needed. Right at the front was where the replacement section was. The gentleman's working were very sweet in explaining everything and helping us out with picking what we need. One was doing all the replacements while the other one was helping us out. From there, it just takes a couple minutes. It was fine which gave us time to walk around and check the store out. We literally only did half of the store as it was massive. There's sections along the sides where you can practice your swings electronically. A putting green right in the middle to practice. Besides all the clubs and accessories, half of the store had a big apparel department with loads to choose from. There was so many clubs to choose from as well as whatever you may or may not need. If you're a golfer, this is like Willy Wonka factory but golf. Worth checking out.
