One of the few (or maybe only) store that carries equipment that you find at REI…read more They carry a lot of specialized equipment that has a different focus than other camping stores in the area (i.e., this store has no hunting gear). They carry treking poles, portable stoves, compression sacks, tents, etc. Lots of different brands that is made light weight and functional. IIRC, they also have mountain climbing equipment, very similar to REI that you see in california. The sales people are courteous and knowledgeable. Really recommend this if you're looking for specialized outdoor equipment for outdoor activities.

Firstly, this is quality gear. If you live in the state, I think you should support local stores…read morethat carry equipment like this, or you would have to order it online blindly. Also, it's good to be able to get gear when you need it. While in the store today, I heard the staff joking about flatus of some other customer. The staff concluded the person with flatus had serious health issues. It wasn't I who passed gas, but I was thinking that customer could still be in the store (a 2 story old house). They don't know how much business they just lost by insulting customers. I decided not to buy any gear here. As a spot check, I compared a Camelback that sells here for $150 to online prices. Online it was $90. Again, it is worth supporting local outfitters. In this case, the markups were too high & the service was lacking. I had been in the store for some time without being greeted or offered shopping assistance (came in to look at Hobie catamaran gear & possible gifts for a group of teenagers). The staff took time to discuss flatus, but didn't have time to say hello.

I love Bass Pro Shop and always like to visit one when I travel…read more All Bass Pro Shops are dog friendly but what surprised me about this particular location was that I saw a little pet waste station that provided plastic bags, disposable gloves. paper towels and disinfectant wipes towards the back of the store. That is a very thoughtful little station and greatly appreciated that for pets that have accidents. But the only thing that would be missing is a trash can nearby. Anyways, I thought this Bass Pro Shop location seemed a little smaller than some of the other locations that I have visited on my travels. But they still have the core items that you would want to purchase at this store that you can find at the other locations. Employees were friendly and the ladies restroom was clean upon my visit. Had a positive shopping experience and would come back if I lived here.

My wife an I occasionally…read morebuy shoes for our kids here, and we've purchased some camping, swimming, and BBQ gear on a couple occasions. Overall, the prices are "okay" but the staff is typically not very helpful. However, I did have one over-the-top experience that I would like to share. My wife and I bought a new, rather expensive BBQ grill for Memorial Day weekend in 2011. We were expecting to buy a grill that we had to assemble, but the model we wanted was out of stock, except for the already-assembled floor model. The manager offered us the floor model for a small discount, and we decided to take it. Two staff members helped me load it in my pickup truck, but didn't have anything to help me tie it down with. I didn't bring any tie-down straps when I came to the store, because I was expecting to buy an unassembled grill in a box. I was a little nervous, as the grill was very top-heavy. I'm not exactly sure HOW it happened, but on the drive home we had to swerve to avoid something in the road, and the grill tipped over, fell out of the truck, and smashed into the roadway. It was badly mangled and completely ruined. We assumed that we were completely out of luck. When we got home, my wife called up the store manager to tell him that we wanted to order another grill. She explained what happened, and the manager said he would replace the grill at no cost to us. We weren't expecting that, but he insisted that his employees should have tied down the grill in the back of the truck before we left. It took about a week for the new grill to arrive (in a box this time), and as promised, the store replaced it without any problems. Now that's what I call customer service!

Absolutely will never shop here again. Was lied to, then mislead into buying a giftcard. Then when…read moreI tried to call either of my local stores all throughout the day. I kept getting hung up on. Rather than they actually pick it up, & say, "Academy Sports, how can I help?" I have only tried to call because the internet you have is full of lies. There's absolutely zero boxes of .40S&W ammo on your shelves at all. I looked myself yesterday. Only reason, I was trying to call either store. Is to see if either, actually have a single box or two in stock & on the shelves. In JHP, so I can actually purchase it. However, because I was lied to. Then hung up in so many times. I'm going to boycott buying anything else from you. Not that you care, but your employees need to learn good customer service, as well as not. Just straight up lying to a customer's face

This place is ok. I typically don't do reviews because life is too short to stress over anything…read moreminor, but this sort of bothered me. I was never greeted,and I felt like I was being watched and followed. I even left, and came back with my purchase (almost exchanged it), and the same people who I felt were watching me, literally raced outside the door before I even came in. When I went inside the store, those people came in the store. The store is fine, but I think everyone needs to know that not everyone is trying to or wanting to steal the merchandise. Especially not every black person. But overall I love what I purchased, and I'll continue to shop here...just not at this one in particular.

I am not a dancer, but I came here for shoes for a dance-exercise class because my running shoes…read moreweren't exactly right. Everyone was quite helpful, though the shoes didn't really do the trick in the end. I went in and explained that because I have a high arch, I needed a a supportive shoe for my class, because often my arches end up hurting. When I went in, one woman began helping me, and then she was called away (?), and another woman finished helping me select a shoe. This felt a little strange. The first woman to assist me suggested a really "cute" shoe that is almost completely flat and has very little support. The second woman said it will not do the trick, even though it is very cute. I ended up with a very reasonably priced Capezio shoe that has soles on the heel and balls of the feet/toes only, with a flexible arch. Since buying these shoes, I've gone back to my running shoes because the Capezio soles are so hard, they don't offer enough cushion for all the hopping/jumping/high impact of my classes. I will wear them again because they are smooth and slide on the carpet, which is handy, but they aren't exactly right. I wished the women (either one of them) knew enough about the exercise classes and my feet to suggest the right shoe to me. A third woman checked me out and told me about their affinity programs, etc. They have a lot of cute clothes in here, and they may just be more suited to dancer-dancers than dance exercisers.

Sadly, I get frustrated every time I go. Last time they insisted they "couldn't find me in the computer" and kept looking for my personal info...which was frustrating because I was in a hurry, and I just needed to GO. Why do you need my personal info?? My money is still green no matter what my name, address, and bra size is!! Then this time I walked in and was greeted kindly. The associate was helpful...but I saw signs EVERYWHERE saying leotards were buy one get one 50 percent off...these signs did not indicate an end date. There were literally signs in each room saying this. So I took extra time and picked out six leotards...and mentioned the good sale as I headed to checkout and was told "oh I'm sorry, that ended yesterday." Another person walked by and said "sorry about that". But are you really sorry? Three employees in the store and while I checked out NOT ONE moved to remove the signs. This is false advertising and its RUDE. The associate told me "we just haven't had time to remove those signs"...yet when I walked in she was straightening racks and business had been open for HOURS. I think this is my last time in footlights...I can find most everything they sell online and not get mixed messages/blatant lies about sales and Spanish Inquisition to make a purchase. The customer shouldn't have to pay full price when dozens of signs have been accidentally left up. I think I'll report them to the BBB for false advertising.
