I'm sorta disappointed I came in here looking for dicks and ended up buying some fishing gear…read more I guess Dicks Sporting goods sounded like a different kinda shop to me. While I didn't find a 3 foot dildo I managed to find an array of baseball bats that should work the same way. I asked one of their staff if they could help me with my pitching and catching and ended up just getting baseball tips. I'm sure someones bound to get offended by this joke, but I will tell you what's not a joke their friendly staff that will help you find whatever you need. So let's say your not all into sports like I am they helped me find the right gift and I gotta say they have a selection. Follow me on snap @Gibro1997

Had very poor experience in the shoe department on Wednesday March 12. The associate was very rude…read moretelling us not to touch the displays because he was tired of having to put them back in order. He basically ended up telling us to get out of "his store". We told another associate about it and was told it wasn't the first complaint that day. They definitely lost at least one sale from us that day.

Finally an update after my last review. Overall, they've kind of gotten a lot better with service…read more They helped out very quickly when we requested shoes and were able to search for sizes if they were not available. The online ordering is also very easy if you don't want to deal with the in-store hassle, you can just order it. Come in check in and they'll have your item at the register. Prices are still high unless things are discounted, but that's to be expected

You are going to pay a little more for running shoes here, but what you get will be the correct…read morething for you. There are less choices here than at Dick's, but that is not a bad thing. These are shoes for RUNNING (or walking), and they don't have the crap that the other big box stores carry. Go in during the weekday (if you can) because they are super busy on the weekends. Take some time and do a foot analysis with one of the staff, listen to their suggestions, and try on a few pairs. Your feet will love you if you do. (and your ankles, knees & hips!)

I was incredibly disappointed in the service they provided. I guess if you're a middle aged man…read morethat doesn't look like an elite runner, they don't think you need any help. I had money to spend, and I did....only after having to ASK to be helped. Even after explaining that my goal was to ease back into running, they didn't offer any gait analysis or additional help. I did buy a pair of shoes because i really needed them, but turned around and returned them the same day because I don't want to support a store that doesn't provide quality customer service....especially for something as important as footwear for running. At my age, especially, quality footwear is so important. I chose another local establishment and was very happy with the immediate attention I received upon entering. It wasn't convenient to return and go somewhere else, but it felt good to me.

I was under the assumption that if you put something on the floor to sell, it has been checked for damage, so I didn't give it a thorough look over. Worker was rude as hell.

Finish Line-- the great silence - a narrative!…read more Why I'm giving 3 stars - they carry a wonderfully diverse line of shoes, clothing, etc.. However, the staff needs some additional training. I came in like a storm, blew in and was ready to breeze on out after my purchase. My sons, the big fellas, like athletic gear and this is one of their favorite stores. I knew that the sale was awesome even if the customer service left much to be desired. I received no assistance on my quest for shorts, but none was really needed. I headed to the counter after eyeballing and securing my items only to be greeted by a young man who surely believes he belongs on the cover of Vogue magazine. He made absolutely no attempt to greet me, like zero, none, not a one, zip, zilcho, goose egg- not even a hello! I was subjected to a slight head nod- which in the new teen/young adult vernacular appears to mean "how can I help, may I assist you". Having 2 teens myself, I am familiar with the language, but don't allow it in my presence. I waited to hear a verbal affirmation that he was ready to ring me up, I can assure you, none ever came. I made my purchase in silence, like an off beat Charlie Chan movie -- I really deserved an Oscar, Emmy, at least a Razzy. I managed to be silent and pleasant concurrently. While my sales associate just came off as the guy you hate to see in the club, the one that thinks he's super hip, while being a total jerk at the same time. I left without ever really saying 2 words. Customer service is becoming such a lost art that we are thrown off when we actually receive it. My sneakerologist should be as kind and accommodating as my dentist! Nothing says "hello" better than a great smile and nice proper fitting shoe. Do better Finish Line, do better!!

Went in here over the weekend with my daughter because we've driven by several times and always…read morethought it looked so cute from the road. There is parking off of wells street but the main entrance is on a very busy road. I don't recommend parking in front as it's a corner building and there was heavy traffic. The parking lot is much easier to get in and out of. It's a private parking g lot with about 10 spaces. Now when a place says boutique you have to realize it'll be pricey. Keep this in mind. Walking in we were greeted by the employee who was sweet and answered our questions and my 16 yo was perusing the merch without me by her side and I noticed the employee glued to my daughter like superglue. So Inched closer to my young and employee seemed to back away a bit. When I backed off, employee got closer to my young. Ok I get it she's a kid and could be a thief. Wrong. Not all kids are like that. This irritated me right away. It also made my young very uncomfortable. They had some adorable trinkets and gifts from kitchen to baby to bridal to housewarming. You name it they had. Infact there was so much merch that it was hard to concentrate on one section. Between the merch, clothes and decorations it was hard to focus on what you were looking at. There were so many colors too. Like a rainbow exploded in the showroom and left a trail of glitter and glam. Ok let's talk about prices. Rompers $180, sweaters $100-on sale, shirts and shorts and skirts $79-100. Wow behind my realm of pocket book money. And Knick knacks starting at $20 for a spoon moving upward to $100 or more for plates and purses, shoes and jewelry. Need a candle $40. Need a greeting card $6 for a 2x4 size piece of paper. Very cute dressing area with a bed for a sitting area while a person waits. Then there is a pedastool for the person to stand upon that is trying on clothes with bright lights aimed all around them. Sort of like when you're trying on wedding dresses. It's very New York'ish. Adorable bows act as fillers with large flowers in vases adorn every corner that the owner thinks needs a decoration. I don't think there is one inch of space that isn't decorated. All fancied in pink and creams. Even the wares they sell seem to be links creams and pastel colors. I'd recommend going just to take a look and see if it's what you like and can afford and of course you're supporting local.

I found out quickly- yoga, pilates, any type of workout clothes. I was super excited! This is the only little boutique in town I have found that has some of these higher end brands in store. There is also little knick knack, cute gift items as well. It was decorated to perfection. Very modern/chic. I was even more surprised when I noticed the small studio in the back. After talking with the owner I found out they have pilates and barre classes. SCORE! Who doesn't want to sweat it out and then shop a little...all within the same place. Sounds like perfection.

I had the pleasure of stopping by Fancy & Staple the other day!…read moreThis is the most organized and quaint shop I've seen in a while. It's very eclectic and spacious. The staff member I encountered was both gracious and courteous. They carry a wide range of merchandise with no particular rhyme or reason, but it all flows, seamlessly. I loved the energy and vibe of the store. There is street parking on either side of the street. I purchased a tshirt on this visit and declared I'd be back to look around and shop again. Perhaps the most notable thing about the boutique store, there is a food pantry donation center located just outside the front entrance. Stop in, if you can, and bring a canned good or 2 if you can spare it.
