Andrew has always been phenomenal and knowledgeable with all of the different products they carry!…read more He works to make things happen when its convenient for the buyer! I have purchased two high end kayaks and one remote control boat. I have watched them grow because of their detail to customers needs without being pushy! It's just awesome to have a place like this locally. If your needs aren't being met it's on you, because they go above and beyond! They get it and want your business! I would 100 recommend and buy from them again!

Great selection and prices are really competitive. Ditch the box stores and shop local!read more

Campus Emporium is one of the more well-known Hokie spots in Blacksburg. They're popular enough to…read morehave two locations, both on Main St. This particular location is the one on N. Main, just off campus. This venue is small, but it boasts a LOT of Hokie stuff. Going back to its size - this place is packed on football gamedays, so be ready to squeeze your way through the aisles. Also, since it's downtown, parking isn't readily available. You'll have to park at a nearby garage (or maybe be lucky enough to find street parking) and walk. Emporium's employees are nice. From what I can tell, their staff is mostly adults (i.e, non-students) - I didn't see any students working during my most recent visit. But all the employees I've encountered are friendly, helpful and professional. Their prices are competitive, based on like items (items that I also saw at Rally House), and Emporium boasts products that are bit more exclusive (locally made t-shirts, VT-specific shirts, things of that variety) and unique. Thank you, Campus Emporium! You're awesome! JV

We have been going to both locations for years. The variety of Virginia Tech merchandise is…read moreamazing, and new stuff comes in all the time. They even have Corps of Cadet gear! The prices are reasonable, and the people are nice. Once when I ordered something around Christmastime, they called me to tell me that the package would be one day late. Who does that!?

4848 is the flagship clothing and sporting good store for Snowshoe Mountain and it bears the name…read moreof the altitude of the highest point in the mountain (actually the Village is about 4,700 feet above sea level). The store carries some high-end clothing for both men and women, such as Spyder and Obermeyer, as well as a full stock of ski gear, helmets and goggles. It can indeed be a shopping dream. Three years ago, my family spent close to $20K in one sitting at the place. I would have rated the store a "4" star but Snowshoe's management can't seem to get its mind settled about the place's stock and as a result, the customer is totally confused from one season to the next. For example, last year they awarded exclusivity to Head Skis. Neither myself nor my family is interested in Heads, so the Red Barn got our money. They also used to have an expert ski boot fitter who then moved to Asheville NC. The best times to visit are in Spring and Fall, when discounts of up to 50 percent are designed to clear the shelves.

After realizing I had forgotten to pack my pants I was scared I was going to have to pay close to…read more$200 for a pair I may not even like at the resort. In the end I ended up with a hot new pair of pants closer to LESS than $100. I love them more than the pair I forgot at home! Woohoo. Also on a sidenote another person in our group had broke a binding strap the second day but got someone at this shop to fix it for free. That's service! Do not rip off the "tourists" - we'll keep coming back if you treat us right.

This is the place to get your class, team or business attire…read more Barboursville High School Class of 1978 just had our 45th reunion and by chance went to Hometown for merchandise and price comparison. I will say here and now that I absolutely will not shop any other place. The people are friendly, they will work with you to get you what you want, and if they are steadfast against a white shirt and you prove you can sell them, they will line up behind you and make them. If you are fundraising... this is the place to go... they set up and online store and take care of selling the clothing online, collecting the money, offer shipping to out-of-town buyers.... and here is the best part.... Hometown divides the orders so the fundraising committee collects a check and can offer pick up to locals. No fuss, no sweat, no headaches! sdee some of the things we sold.

Great friendly staff. Has all the best Marshall gear for all ages from Nike to regular prints.read more

Went to the Christiansburg location to buy an in-stock bike. I was told they could not sell it to…read moreme in the box. I explained I was from out of town. Didn't matter. I explained that my wife bought a bike in the box in the Roanoke store the previous week. Didn't matter. It's listed in stock and available for pick up. Didn't matter. It's right there. Didn't matter. Is this the policy because Roanoke did it. Not a policy... it's our "preference". Great, please sell me the bike. Didn't matter. Manager intimated that I wasn't being "professional" (not cursing or yelling on my part... just flabbergasted that it's this hard to hand Dicks money), and threw his staff under the bus -"I thought my employee could handle this" (I wasn't looking to be "handled" just wanted to buy a bike). He also said " I was going to offer you a discount". I explained I do not want a discount... I just want the bike so I can go riding with my wife this weekend. Didn't matter. I asked if it could be transferred to Roanoke in the box. He said that if Roanoke "wanted to get in trouble they could" and announced he had to go pick up his brother. Told him to drive safely. OK, is there another manager? 2nd manager refused to sell me the bike. Can you transfer to Roanoke? 2nd Manager (Ryan... although I don't believe this is how he spells it) said he would if it was OK with the Roanoke manager and even offered to drive it down in his personal vehicle after his shift (well done Ryan). Didn't matter because the manager in Roanoke would only do this if I picked it up at closing time. Can't I pick it up tomorrow? Only if it's "9AM sharp". But I'm out of town. Didn't matter. Roanoke manager "didn't want it on their floor". So I have to pick it up by appointment at your convenience rather than tomorrow afternoon? Didn't matter. What gives? Obviously not a liability thing- they were happy to sell me the bike in the box as long as I was willing to wait a day, go to a different city, and show up precisely when they preferred (when I was out of town). As they had told me the regional manager was coming into town and the communication seemed to oddly revolve around winning rather than selling me the bike I told the 2nd manager to give my number to the regional manager and that we could either work the issue out (wherein I simply hand someone a credit card and receive a bike) or I would just return the items purchased last week (incl. helmet, gloves, chain, vehicle rack, etc ). If I could have returned the first bike I would have (although it wasn't ridden it had been purchased over 24 hours ago). Interestingly, I was told that 24 hours was the policy but the store manager could override the policy. So the manager can override policy? Uh... OK. Having spent an hour and a half of my life attempting to buy an in-stock item, my desire to attempt to assist a third manager in a second store to understand this incredibly flawed internal logic had vanished. No call from the district manager yet so in the end I returned the above items to the Roanoke store as bike accessories do me no good without a bike. Despite my best efforts, and an hour and a half of my life, I could not hand anyone at Dicks my money today. Weird.
