My brakes were more squeaky than ever, the chain made unusual noises, and I just feel so much more love could have been given to the bike. That being said, aside from poor Bike maintains they have great staff selling quality bikes, rest assured that's not a problem. However I implore you to not get a tune up here at all cost.

We came in to check out the hunting selection. We initially spoke with a representative who was…read morealready helping another customer. Even though he was busy, he was very friendly and willing to help. He let us know he was assisting someone else and asked another representative to take care of us. Honestly, I wish we had waited for the first gentleman. The second representative, a larger gentleman, came over to help us, but the experience was completely different. My fiancé was trying to ask questions and have a conversation about the products, but he came across as very rude and standoffish. It genuinely felt like he didn't want to help us. Customer service plays a HUGE role in whether or not I spend my money in said establishment. We left without making a purchase. Hopefully, future customers receive the same level of service we experienced from the first representative, because he made a great first impression.

His staff was absolutely the most team oriented group with all providing help and no one trying to be superhero know-it-all which happens way too often. Their prices can't be beat, and speaking from personal experience , it is a great escape from the drama of having horses and/or dogs in surgery at the best Vet Hospital in the world (totally unbiased as I am 3rd generation Longhorn). Go enjoy the low pressure, high intellect of this great store!

I ventured into Bear Mountain right after the holidays to get properly fitted for hiking boots…read morebefore an overseas backpacking trip. I've done a bit of day hiking before, but never been professionally fitted or been on multi-day trips. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I could not have been more pleased. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The guy who helped me spent a lot of time answering questions and helping me be sure I got the best fit- and I ended up with a less expensive boot than I expected (which never happens). They had really good sales at that time, and I ended up coming back the next day to get a new pack. On the following day, I found an equally friendly and knowledgable staff. A friendly staff even after the holidays is the sign of a good shop, I think. Anyway, If you are looking for hiking, camping, or kayaking gear- start here.

Go for a T-shirt, disorganized, folded in 5 different ways, I finally gave up and just settled for any Large I found next. Don't even bother with the shoes. If they would let me, I'd go find my own and ask for an employee discount. Even check out was frustrating because prices must be by best guess because the prices don't match the tagged prices!! How can a place I used to love be left to rot?

I was not greeted at the door the female employee was actually on the phone and cell phone. She did not acknowledge me at all. I waited at the counter on her and had to find someone else to assist.

But thank you Alex, I am happy this company has you as an Associate. Great visit, I will return and inform others of Alex's great standards.

Because of this it seems a bit smaller than other locations but still has the basics They have a huge parking lot Selection: They have plenty of summer outdoor clothes which is what I came for . That being said, their women's swimsuits are really lacking ... I couldn't find a single plain one- piece They have the usual fishing and hunting sections too, though hunting is in a bump out separate from the rest of the store . In this Academy, fishing licenses are sold at checkout - not in the hunting/fishing area Dressing rooms: They had a lot of dressing rooms available. They were clean but dingey with no attendant Service: The greeter was very awkward and barely greeted me at all. Was an awkward entry. I didn't see another person until checkout and while polite , the cashier was very quiet and not particularly informative while I was buying my fishing license .

The Caitlin Clark jug was not in a box, just wrapped in paper. I was looking forward to unveiling it but was just in question whether the Stanley jug was new or used. Not planning on ordering anything from them again. I had ordered a smaller one before from them and did come in its own package, so I was hoping to get the same for this one but was sadly disappointed.

Their "binocular expert," Leslie, was amazing. He was able to repair them and teach me how to adjust the settings.

I highly recommend this company, and they offer so many more services beyond my basic needs.

Don't give me wrong, I like the team and logo designs. But $40 for a shirt is kind of beyond me. Two years ago, I was here to buy a World Series souvenir and got turned away with price shock. Then, I waited several months, the prices ain't going down. I ended up buying it from grocery store. I often see Academy associated with Astros. That's why these licensed merchandise are not cheap. I often use their website for price comparison. Majority of time, I can't find anything to buy, except for those sales items. Before Freeway 290 construction, I used to come here a lot. Eh? I swore I posted a review here years ago. Oh well. Then, I discovered ordering online at academy.com really saves hassle interacting with store clerks and customers.
