Now that this location is open, I wont have to drive to Slidell anymore just for a sporting goods store. I visited most recently to look for a specific Christmas gift. They did not have any on display so rather than buy the more expensive one, I asked one of the employees. This guy was great. He not only checked for me, be went to the back, got one and even brought it to my car. He went way above and beyond to help and was friendly the whole time. Even though the store was packed, they were well staffed and had all the registers going. While standing around I had at least four different employees ask if I needed help. Thanks Academy. This store is great. * the reason the type of gift isn't listed is because the person who the gift is for could read this review. I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.

Third Coast Soccer is a great place to buy anything that you could possibly need relating to the…read moresport of soccer. I signed up one of my kids to play soccer this year and figured I knew exactly what she would need. After all, I had played soccer growing up and figured not much had changed since then. Boy was I wrong. When signing up, I was directed to this store by the league as this was the place that sold the jerseys. When I walked inside I realized that today's soccer stuff was way different from when I played. The employees in the store were very helpful and had me outfitted with jerseys, shorts and socks in about two minutes flat. They also helped me understand what specific ball we needed, why the jerseys had no numbers, and the cleats that were appropriate for this age group. Even with all of this, I was in and out in under 15 minutes. There is no way I could have had a comparable experience at one of the giant chain stores, plus the prices were very reasonable. If you find yourself in need of soccer gear, I highly recommend you visit Third Coast.

The staff was super friendly and let my daughter try on Everything she wanted until we found the perfect cleats. She loved practicing her footwork on the grassy indoor area! It was Thomas's first day on the job and they were training him how to use the register. We got to help with that and it was a great time. Found some REALLY nice expensive cleats On Sale for only $23!!!! Skip the trip to Academy and just head straight here first. You won't be disappointed:)

West Marine has all things boating and water related. Today I went to look for a life jacket…read more Although they didn't have the size needed the staff was extremely helpful. They checked other stores and found what I need in stock at another store. I will be able to go tomorrow and pick it up. The store is extremely well stocked. Clothing, shoes, life jackets, ice chests, marine road and boat parts. This store has it all. Even if you don't have a boat you could stock up on marine themed accessories. In particular, I have my eye on a ship's bell for my patio.

After it was raised and before it was scraped, I was able to retrieve a few items off of the boat. One of the items was the Lowrance fish finder with the "extended" warrenty from west marine. I brought it back to the store hoping to get a store credit for the destroyed fish finder. Well as expected, they told me there was nothing they could do without the transducer and power cord. I told them that the boat was sunk and destroyed. Sorry, nothing we can do without the transducer and power cord. Just another way to get out of the "extended" warrenty. If I would have had all the parts, then it would have been that I was missing the box or something. First of all, don't buy anything at west marine. Second, don't waste money on the "extended" warrenty. West marine does not honor the warrenty and will find any excuse to get out of it. Never again Worst Marine.

I went to Club Champion for a long game fitting. Sean Blackwell was my club fitter and he was…read moreexceptional. We discussed all the issues I had with my bag and he really curtailed the whole experience to what I was hoping to improve. Not once did I ever feel pressured into buying something I didn't want. It was actually the opposite. Sean gave me confidence in my driver setup and let me try a bunch of different shafts see the differences on the trackman. We were able to find some real issues with my current hybrid. After trying all the latest technology he fitted me into a proper shaft with the right stiffness, kick point and weight along with a new Callaway elyte head that was very forgiving and worked perfectly for my swing. The club feels great and is 100 times better than anything I could've bought off the rack at a big box store. I can't recommend this experience enough. lf you're serious about your game and want clubs that are curtailed to you Club Champion is the way to go. Sean never rushed me, he listened to my concerns and really made me feel like he understood what I was looking for. I'll definitely be back next time in looking to upgrade my bag.
