Several decades ago I did a fair amount of recreational skating, but then took many years off…read more Last year I went up to Ottawa to skate on the canal (highly recommended) and developed a wicked case of "lace bite". A friend recommended Front Row Sports as a place to talk to about solutions to this painful issue. Now, almost a year later I finally made it over to Union Road. I took my old skates (like 40+ years old) and really expected that I'd have to buy new ones. The two young guys at the tech counter (born well after my skates first were out on the ice) were incredibly understanding and it turned out that the issue was most likely just having really stiff laces and not skipping one lace hole over the top of my foot. The guys were actually really complimentary of my old skates (which were high end back in the day) and said they'd never recommend I get a new pair if they could help it. I got a sharpening too and my total bill was under $20.00. The whole experience was great, and I am not, and do not look like, some cool hockey kid. I'd worried that they'd ignore me when they realized I wasn't in the market for lots of gear, but I really felt like a valued customer. If I every need anything hockey related I'll definitely go back to Front Row on Union Road.

I had previously tried getting fitted at several other shops in my home state without success, so I was hopeful, but skeptical going into this visit. My experience here could not have been better. Despite the store being extremely busy, Rob took an incredible amount of time with me and fit me into eight different pairs of skates. And when I say "fit," I mean thoroughly, every single pair was baked, and I walked in each one while trying different lacing techniques to ensure the best possible fit. This process took several hours, and he had me try every major brand and price point out to find the perfect combination. Rob then stayed 45 minutes past closing time to finish the fitting and even spent additional time after I left punching out a few hot spots on the boots. When I returned to pick up my skates the next day he again took the time to ask detailed questions about my skating style and to explain skate profiling and what would work best for me. The level of knowledge, patience, and dedication shown to me was honestly incredible. If I could give 10 stars, I would. If you need skates or any hockey equipment, do yourself a favor and come here, you will not be disappointed.

Stumbled upon this shop by accident when roaming Hertel and eating ice cream with yelp friend Teresa. We were lured in by their ad outside for masks as we are both teachers who will need them for the upcoming school year! If you need a birthday gift, housewarming gift, Christmas gift, or just want to spoil yourself come on in to experience a wide variety of gifts. From jewelry, to coasters, to clothes to pictures on the walls there is something for everyone and every style. I loved all the buffalo themed masks, and ended up choosing a zubaz mask for myself! They did cost $14.99 each, but I liked that they had the metal piece to make them fit good at the nose, a longer strap to hang around your neck for easily keeping them with you even if you take it off, and a ear straps that were elastic but also had a bead to help tighten them if the elastic starts to wear out. Also machine washable! Take a trip out to Hertel and check out this awesome store, you are sure to find something for yourself or a friend!

They offer special gifts made from local artists like jewelry, coasters, one of a kind art, pillows, magnets, beautiful masks that we could all use at this time, and the list goes on from there... The owner Jeff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome right away! The mask sign outside the store really got my yelp buddy Sara and myself attention because we're teachers. We need to stock up for the new school year! The masks are locally made, have cool Buffalo themed patterns like buffalo's with hearts, bills, chicken wings, etc. They are also machine washable. I love the ear straps and the longer strap to keep around your neck when taken off! It's my favorite mask so far! Reasonably priced for only $14.99 and for a little less $12.99 they have children sized masks! Very comfortable and stylish. They have many eye catching Buffalo themed t-shirts but you can bring in your own design and they can put it on a shirt as well! Also offer hats, socks, bow ties, etc. I also noticed all the cool art made from local artists! These would make awesome birthday, holiday, or shower gifts! I also purchased a cool buffalo print t-shirt and Buffalo necklace. It's important to support local and I promise once you stop in this Buffalo Apparel Co. store on Hertel you will be back!

My parents and I have been loyal customers of this store for years (I'm reclining against a pillow…read morefrom the store as I write this) and I always make a point to visit whenever I'm back in Buffalo, even though I now live in Las Vegas. This winter break, I found a gorgeous sequined Bills jacket (blue base, red sleeves) priced at $217. They were offering 25% off Bills gear at the time, but I wanted to think it over before making the purchase. Laux had the same with colors reversed for $115 but I prefer the jacket to be more of the blue than red. *The one pictured is the Laux one. Unfortunately, due to a flight issue, I wasn't able to return to the store as planned before leaving town. On January 2nd, I emailed the store explaining the situation and inquiring about having the jacket shipped. I received no response. I sent a follow-up email and again got no reply. I finally called the store to explain what happened and asked if they would honor the sale price since I had tried contacting them earlier. The woman said that they don't ship if it's not listed in the website, which is fair.I even mentioned I have a relative who could pick it up for me. The response? They wouldn't honor the sale price as the sale is over. I understand policies, but the lack of response to my emails and unwillingness to assist a repeat customer felt like poor customer service as I attempted to get in contact with them during the sale. I've always enjoyed shopping here, but this experience has left questioning if I will be back or recommend it to others.

I bought the item and a day or two later they list another one at a higher price and won't honor the old price. Then I buy the item and a day or two later list another raising the price again. They claimed to only have 1 yet in the past 30 days I've ordered 7 of them and there's currently another one listed on their website. Of course they raised the price 10% after waiting 25 hours to post it on the site. And of course they can't price match it because it's not within 24 hours. (The fact that they took more than 24 hours to post it on their site doesn't matter) My account rep said they'd price match a price within the last 24 hours. They take 25-26 hours to post another item in stock to get around that price matching. Very sketchy and slimy sales team. Reflects poorly on the owners and the company as a whole. I gave them 2 stars simply because the shipping has been quick.

I first went to Roy several years ago, and I ended up buying a significant amount of tackle from him for one simple reason: he's honest and sincere. There's no sales pitch, no gimmicks, and no pressure. He tells you what works, what doesn't, and why. That kind of integrity is rare these days, and it keeps people coming back. The inventory isn't massive, but that's actually part of the strength of the store. If you fish for walleye or troll for salmon, you'll find some very good, unique gear that you won't see everywhere else. Everything on the shelves has a purpose. Prices are reasonable, and the service is truly exceptional. When you ask for advice, you're not getting guesses--you're getting experience. Where Nick's Sporting Goods truly stands apart is archery. If you're an archer or into archery hunting, it's hard to imagine a better shop. Roy is an expert and a genuine archery enthusiast, and it shows in the quality of guidance and setup he provides. If you're passionate about fishing--especially walleye and salmon trolling--or serious about archery and bowhunting, this store is absolutely worth your time. Highly recommended.
