The next morning I was at the store and it had to be one of the best shopping experiences I have ever had. I arrived before they opened and while I was waiting I got an email stating my order was ready. I went in and went to the specific counter and they quickly processed some information I needed to fill out and I was done. I was in and out in 15 mins. The only reason it even took that long was I was looking at a few things. They have a great selection of sporting goods. Camping gear, clothing, firearms, even knives are plentiful. All the associates were very friendly and helpful. Store is super clean and well organized. Scheels blows sporting good stores like Bass Pro/Cabelas out of the water. Highly recommend this store.

Because I cannot find the Academy Sports and Outdoors in Celina, TX which just opened I am leaaving…read moremy review here because I will never be back to another Academy Sports+Outdoors store every again. I had one of the worst experiences in this store on Tuesday evening August 25th that I have ever encountered as a shopper. I spent over 500.00 for this store to sit there and try and sell me on there credit card promising 30.00 off plus and additional 20% with not strings attatched. I hesitated and finally decided for nearly 100.00 off I thought it would be worth it. They came back to me only to tell me I would have to wait 14 days to see if I was approved and couldn't sell me what I bought and would have to come back in 14 days. I didn't want to do that. I asked them to just cancel the credit application and let me pay for it with my credit card. They wouldn't allow me to do that either telling me I would have to come in 14 days later to purchase my stuff. The management was too lazy to work with me and devise a way for me to purchase my stuff after spending an hour and a half in their store. Never shop at the Celina, TX store. I wouldn't advise it. That was the most embarrassing situation I have ever been put in. Lowes did the same thing to me except they accepted by credit application in 30 seconds and allowed me to purchase the stuff as credit on their credit card. I could care less if I was approved or not but they could at least been upfront with me about it. They questioned my 350,000 household income, which I make. I own a home in the community, I have great credit, I work a great job, I'm an accredited investor so there should be no questions of my financial background. Even if they had a question they don't have to go around the store and hounding those of us shopping to get in on their specials and those specials are only good for people applying for their stupid credit card. The store manager had no interest in working with me. I told them they could keep their merchandise, I didn't want it to spend a dime in their store to be treated like that. Again, they would not even allow me to pay for the merchandise with a different method because they would have to back all the sales out of the PLS system, the registers they use. It was going to be too much work with them. I hope it;s worth losing a customer over. Probably not but I'll never be back. This was the Celina, TX store. As soon as it is on Yelp I will make another post about Academy.

I bought a bike for my son's birthday online for in-store pick up. It said it would be ready…read morewithin an hour so we went to pick up the bike at this location. Here we met Serenity, who was rude, unhelpful and unempathetic. First I asked if someone can help me to put the bike into my car. She said no because it was not a curbside pick up. I told her I'm a woman with a child, I need help with putting the bike to the car. She said let her ask someone. This would be the very first store who would not help a customer upload a large item! She later reluctantly said someone may help me upload but they are not required. When I showed her my order number on my phone and she said, "Can you read the number to me?" Then she told me because I just placed the order, the bike was not assembled. I asked why the website said it would be ready within an hour. She said she didn't know. So I said to her I would be back tomorrow to pick up the bike. She said our bike won't be ready until Wednesday (today is Friday, so it turned from a "Ready within an hour" to 5 days in store pick up.) Finally I told her to cancel my order as my son and myself were just disappointed from this experience. She said you can do that yourself online. This is the worst customer service representative I have ever met!

Matthew has been one of the greatest people to talk to regarding just about anything on a bike. He's very thorough and explaining what would best work for me and suit me specifically while being very inviting into the sport. I would highly recommend anybody come out here and talk to Matthew as he's extremely knowledgeable and really knows what he's doing when it comes to cycling. I didn't expect to be met with such positivity, especially in a place where I would be worried about sales being pushed down my throat and met with the complete opposite. Their level of customer service is beyond exceptional, and I know that I'll be shopping with them indefinitely.
