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.

These shoes can be very expensive "brand new". It was a breath of fresh air to see "last year's models" being sold at a tremendous discount... when Dicks was located on 15th Street. Having said that, the tennis shoes are the biggest selling point for me. When Dicks moved to Preston, they scaled back (TREMENDOUSLY) on their sneaker inventory. And that's quite disappointing to me. I had to drive to the Frisco location to get a feel for their vast options in what I needed. I don't see myself spending too much time at the Preston location.

We eventually found what we came in for but it was painful. The grip tape was $3.50, so the price was average. I found navigating this store to be irritating because it is just an odd shaped store to begin with and the layout is all over the place. This store needs more signage - even to find the escalators!

There were racks and racks of stuff, and I found the cutest workout gear, athleisure pieces, slides and more. The prices were so deeply discounted that I ended up calling a few friends with teenage kids and telling them they needed to get over there for some last-minute school clothes shopping. they showed me their hauls later that day and they cleaned up! so I take back all the things I've grumble about in my head during past visits. Turns out, I just hadn't been to the other side of the store! They have so many cute shoes, clothes, workout pieces and other fines. anyway, this trip was actually fun. If you haven't checked out the whole store lately go take a look. You might be surprised at what you find.

But they got the job done.

Great used gear, great service, and great skate sharpening!…read more I've been coming here regularly since I first started playing hockey last year. At the time I was just trying it out and wanted to get some cheap but serviceable used gear until I knew if I was going to stick with it. I was also a little nervous because I was an adult woman getting into a largely-male sport, and I know from experience with other traditionally male hobbies that that's not always the most friendly environment to go into. But these guys put all my worries to rest! (Side note, I did stick with it and now hockey is a huge and wonderful part of my life. The Dallas adult hockey community is fantastic and welcoming, so if you have ever considered it, definitely try it out! And get your starter gear from Play It Again, they're great!) They were very helpful, spent a lot of time with me finding gear my size (which was more difficult than I anticipated, since as a short woman it turns out I ride the line between juniors and seniors sizing), and gave me a lot of really useful advice about fit and style preferences. For under $100, I left with a full set of gear except a helmet, as I had to go elsewhere for that (the brand of new helmets they carry didn't have a size that fit me comfortably, sadly). I returned several times over the next few weeks as I figured out what worked for me and didn't and they were always great about helping me try different options and returning and exchanging gear with no hassle. And the gear selection they have is honestly great! In the last year I've upgraded most pieces to new ones bought elsewhere, but I still use the same shin guards and pants I got from them in the beginning--and the pants are because they are such a great pair that I can't buy a new pair that is better without spending $200. The MSRP for them new is $160....and I got them for I think $30-40! And they were in great condition apart from some messed up zippers--an easy fix! They also do great sharpening here. I get mine sharpened on a regular basis by them, and while you wouldn't think a used sports equipment store would beat out the two major hockey gear stores in the area, they definitely do. Have never had a bad sharpen from these guys, the only better you can get in the area is up in Farmers Branch. They also have a sharpening punch card, which is nice. Definitely recommend these guys!

I read the review by the person who brought in a jersey and the employees attitude about it... I (think I ) know who that employee is and I think that review is a little harsh. I'd blame an off day or a bad interaction, but that experience is certainly not the norm. We've purchased a complete uniform for a youth player (and it was less than $30). We have had 5 different jerseys custom printed with name and number while we waited($12). One of the Adidas jerseys I purchased was $45, which was a bit expensive for it's intended purpose (end of the year kickball game at school) but very reasonable for the shirt itself. They marked it down 50%-just to be nice! We walked out paying $32 for the Jersey, name, number and a pair of socks. We've purchased 3 pair of shoes (for less than the Amazon price). They have a great selection of International team jerseys, goalie gloves, shin guards and other soccer gear. This is our one stop soccer shop! I certainly don't expect to pay less than Amazon prices (we frequently do). There is certainly value in being able to fit an outfit or shoe, get a jersey printed while you wait or buy your favorite team jersey off the rack. We have been to all the stores in the area, multiple times- this is my favorite shop around-price, variety and certainly customer service! Give them a go, you won't be disappointed.
