While shopping in the middle of suburbia, Mountain High Outfitters was a breath of fresh air…read more(terrible pun intended.) They managed to cram a massive amount of outdoor gear in a seemingly tiny parcel of real estate in an uppity retail plaza. Their selection of gear was surprisingly diverse, but I didn't get the sense most of the staff was knowledgeable in outdoor recreation through their own extracurricular activities, this was coupled with a hint of pretentiousness. Prices were a little steep on several items that I've compared to other retailers - and I'm not talking about big box stores, either. I'm talking other small businesses and outfitters. If you're in the area and are serious about quality gear, by all means, stop in and support small(er) businesses. But it's noted: There can be better deals to be found on the same items for sale.

I called and talked to Luke on the phone and described what my 11-year-old daughter was looking for in a bike - I had a make and model in mind. They didn't carry that specific one, but he spent 15+ minutes looking online and making suggestions of similar options. We decided on one (a Haro) and even though it was above what I was looking to spend, the customer service on a cold call from someone random was top-notch. They even went out of their way to special order a white basket for the front of the bike and mounted it. My daughter has been riding it every day since we got it. Their bike tech Stephen was great on the phone when I described what she wanted in a basket. It's not cheap, but it's not outrageous, and the customer service I experienced was on another level. If you're looking for something that will last your kids many years, I highly recommend coming here.

The people at Blue Ridge really know their stuff. I don't claim to be a big outdoorsy type or a…read morehuge hiker, but you don't have to be to go here. They first introduced me to a winter obsession of mine - Smartwool socks. If you've never worn them, they are so wonderful and warm and addictive. They are meant for hiking, and that's what I originally bought them for, but I wear them all the time in winter now. The people at Blue Ridge will find you just what you need for your level of outdoorsiness. They are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Hate it. I've shopped at Blue Ridge stores in Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, Williamsburg,…read moreRichmond, Wintergreen and the one that used to be in Cool Springs, and this is the worst of them all hands down. I've never had staff help here that seemed anything other than them trying to make a sale. I went there today with a pair of Vasque boots whose sole cushioning had dry rotted after 3 years. The manager said there was nothing that Vasque would do, and recommended a cobbler on the West Coast who would repair them for $60. Instead I took the boots to Cumberland Transit, and 15 minutes after I had walked out of BRMS, Cumberland said no problem. All I had to do was pay $10 shipping to have them sent back to Vasque to get new soles. It also ticked me off that the lady at BRMS repeatedly said the soles had delaminated, when in fact they had dry-rotted, something I had to point out to her multiple times. In short, this is the worst BRMS store I have ever been in, and one of the worst outdoor stores in the Nashville area, which is consistent with the reviews I have heard from other outdoor buffs. I guess they stay in business catering to the Belle Meade label conscious crowd.

This Academy Sports sits near the intersection of Mallory and Nichol Mill, not far from Cool…read moreSprings Galleria, and is your standard Academy location for the most part. My office is not too far from here, so when I am after something specific, in my most recent case, a weighted vest, I swing by this location. Of course, even though I am after something specific, I always browse their gym clothes and shoe wall. The store is well lit, well kept and clean. Service is standard. I am acknowledged on the floor and the cashiers are friendly and helpful when needed. Overall, while I did not find the type of vest I was after, I enjoy this location for what it is, and surely will be back when the need arises again!

I don't know if the tragically low ratings are warranted. But I do agree that there are several…read moredisappointments here. My wife was in search of the famed Bombas socks, size large. Good luck with that because all we found were small and medium. Have you not noticed the plethora of tall, athletic women in Williamson County? Note, Bombas socks are not with the socks near the shoe section because they find the need to have two sock sections. She also found an unusually low stock of leggings (compared to other Dick's) outside of the Calia brand that she doesn't prefer. Again, see comments about athletic females in this county. On the bright side, they're definitely keeping up with the Williamson County lacrosse craze and offer a tremendous variety of equipment in all popular sports for young people (except maybe ice hockey). So at least somebody there is paying attention to what they're selling.

Situated in the large shopping plaza on Mallory Lane anchored by Kroger, this Dick's is your…read morestandard location. I pop in on occasion and have shopped for clothes, shoes, grills and coolers. As with most Dick's, they have a solid selection of sportswear and you can usually get a solid deal on good quality athletic and athleisure wear. My only gripe with this location is the service, or lack thereof. On my last two trips in I was looking for something specific and needed assistance locating. Finding an associate that wasn't on the registers was nearly impossible, and when I did spot one, they seemed to scatter when they felt I was going to approach with a question. On both trips, I ultimately just looked, didn't find and left. And oddly on my way out, both cashiers who were not assisting other customers didn't even interact. The store is kept in good condition and is clean on each visit. Always stocked well and easy to navigate. Overall, not the best Dick's experiences.

While Outpost Armory Franklin isn't as new or shiny as some other gun stores, they have plenty of brands and inventory (including firearms on consignment). Personally, we liked the clean, somewhat rustic, humble, down-to-earth feel of the place. (If you want super fancy tactical vibes, that's cool too, but probably not the ideal place for you.) Most importantly, we received kind, approachable, and prompt assistance from the staff who exemplified customer service by listening attentively and offering helpful feedback/suggestions. We also saw how they all worked well together as a team. At the end, we decided to make our purchase with them and will continue to rely first on Outpost Armory for future purchases/assistance.
