Went in to grab some shirts for father in law. Michael was extremely helpful and nice. Even went to…read morethe back to grab extra shirts that were similar and on clearance so I bought even more. Not sure what all the bad reviews are from this place is actually very fair priced and the people were kind so must be under new management.

Horrible customer service, then I got the pants back and one leg was way tighter. Terrible jobread more

just now NEW I bought…read morea pair of sunglasses for my three year old that were advertised for ages three to seven and also advertised as indestructible. The hinge broke before we were out of the parking lot. The Coastal Outfitters refused to stand behind the falsely advertised product and exchange for same item. My three year old left crying all the way to the car. Do not buy anything from Coastal Outfitters!

I ventured into Coastal Outfitters last week to find my hubby a pair of sunglasses for his…read morebirthday. They don't sell Costas, but they do have a couple of other brands with polarized lenses, including a brand called Reflekt which has a great warranty. They also float. I opted to get those instead of going elsewhere for Costas. If he breaks or scratches them, we can pay $35 and send them in to be replaced as many times as necessary. If he loses them, they will replace them one time for $35. Not to mention, these sunglasses were about $50 less than the Costas that looked almost exactly the same. The store employees were very friendly and helpful. I was in and out of there within about 20 minutes. I noticed a large variety of clothing, coolers, and such. This would be a great place to shop for any man in your life.

I recently purchased and picked up a Christmas gift at this Dick's. It's only the second time I've…read morebeen here, and first in years. While the store is well stocked with helpful and professional folks it's just a personal decision that I choose not to patronize the Dick's stores due to, in my opinion, bad corporate decision making. Again, a personal belief that public companies should maintain political neutrality and avoid the adoption of woke policies, and focus instead on their primary objective of providing valuable products and services to customers. It appears that I'm far from the only one who feels this way but it shouldn't come as a surprise because at company adopting controversial and divisive policies should know that they likely run the risk of alienating a significant portion of their customer base. It's probably the case since Dick's continues to drop in profitability due to the nature of policies the company either directly or indirectly supported. Don't get me wrong, free speech is vital regardless, and free trade and business should always be protected. I'm just personally ticked at any company, regardless of politics or beliefs, who feel it necessary to implement, in my opinion, stupid policies on their customers and employees. Common sense dictates that maintaining political neutrality best allows companies to focus on serving all customers, regardless of their personal beliefs, and ensures that they do not lose business due to divisive politics. Bottom line: If companies are truly committed to addressing social issues, they should focus on substantive actions, such as improving working conditions, investing in education and training programs, or contributing to local community initiatives.

I love DICK'S Sporting Goods, but this location isn't AS big as the one I'm used to shopping at in…read moreColorado. They don't carry many of the same brands, or as many options of them, in store. Their selection for The North Face, Patagonia, etc. is minimal. However, every time I come to this location, staff are friendly and the store is clean. If I happen to need assistance, someone is willing to help. Thankfully they carry a nice selection of workout apparel, including Nike, Under Armour, CALIA, and their very own DSG brand. They also have a nice variety of sport-specific gear-- baseball, football, basketball, soccer, etc. They offer leisure and/or sport equipment, such as for cycling, hiking, indoor exercise/training, fishing, hunting, etc. Their shoe department is sufficient, but it isn't extensive. They offer the major shoe brands for running, walking, training, and lifestyle use, but you're not going to find A TON of styles for each; it isn't a SHOE store with that kind of inventory. But it's nice to see what you can get in-store, or if the store can order something for you from their website (dickssportinggoods.com). I love HIIT workouts at OTF and I enjoy sports and being outdoors, so this store is my little slice of heaven for meeting all my sport-related needs!
