They didn't have what I was looking for in stores, but she was able to see it online. She ordered it to my home, and even figured out how to use my coupon. This was a great experience. I will continue to shop at this location.

Yesterday was my first time visiting this location. I went to the Dick's that is closer to me…read morefirst. I bought all the mesh book bags that location had so I see if this location had any. Upon walking in, I thought it was bigger than the Dick's near my house. However, I think they're comparable in season because my usual location is two stories and this one is one level. We told a young lady what we were looking for and she walked us over to the area. We were able to find one mesh book bag. The price of the book bags were $19.99 in store, but $9.99 online. At each store, we brought it to the cashier's attention and they did a price adjustment to match the online price. My kids always need things because they place sports so I'm sure I'll be back.

The other day I was in Birmingham for work and decided I wanted a cozy, casual hoodie to wear when…read moreI wasn't in the office. After hitting nearly every other men's retailer in the Summit and finding nothing but gear with massive logos across the chest, I stopped in at this place. I was immediately greeted by the staff and was asked if I needed help. The place truly looks like a place where people who spend time in the outdoors shop, so I was kind of happy to be there. After looking around for a few minutes I found a rack with some awesome bamboo hoodies from a company called Free Fly. I'd never heard of the company, but I immediately thought it was one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I've ever felt. It was reasonably priced so I bought it, and wore it pretty much the entire time I was in Birmingham. Perhaps an even higher testament to the quality of the product was this: as soon as I flew home my wife felt the hoodie, and immediately claimed it as her own. I can't wait to come back to Birmingham and visit this place a) because it's a pretty cool store, and b) so I can buy a hoodie of my own.

I want to like this store because I strongly believe in supporting local businesses , but I just…read moredon't. First of all the inventory is so tiny. The women's clothing section consists of about 4 different styles. Nothing good ever goes on sale. The men's selection is a bit better but they are always out of size smalls and usually only have a lot of large sizes. Same issue with shoes. Heavy on on clouds and two choices each of other brands. Always out of common sizes. What usually ends up happening is I see something I like, then because of a better return policy at a competing retailer, or better price and colors I end up purchasing online. Also the sales people are too pushy and don't let me shop in peace. It's very annoying.

I really liked that they had a free photoshoot with Santa because you do not see anyone offer service like anymore. So, thankful for that opportunity available because many happy families in line to get a cute photo that they can keep as a memory. The reason for the low rating is because no greeting of "Merry Christmas" even though we acknowledged the greeters first with an introduction. Everyone else got one, but not us. And when in line, there was an obvious division between the others and me. I felt like I was not wanted there...like an annoyance or disappointment to be around. Some of the micro aggressions, but eh... it be like that sometimes. Must have been some people's first Asian that they ever met lol

I really enjoyed my visit to Bass Pro Shops in Leeds, AL to purchase a new fishing rod. Immediately…read moreupon entering I was greeted by a kind representative that kindly pointed me in the direction to the fishing department. Once in that area another worker patiently provided insight into good beginner rods. I was informed that I could test out the rod for up to 60 days and if I didn't like it I could bring it back. Thankfully I used it today and will not be bringing it back because I really like my Ugly Stik! They also provide some free fishing line with purchase of a rod. The store is clean and well lit and the same goes for the parking lot. Check out was a breeze as I didn't have wait long and the checkout clerk was really sweet. I was given a container of Salted Caramel Fudge Bites before I left in exchange for a review! The fudge bites are AMAZING!

Staff at this location were really nice ... greeted upon entering the store and about half way through checking out what they had, they asked if I needed any help....when I left they thanked me for coming in and said to have a good night. What I like about these guys, is they have clothing that you aren't going to find at Dick's, Academy or Belk type stores. Their focus is on outdoor gear and clothing and the associated brands. One of the few places, I know of, where they have a pretty good selection of North Face and Patagonia and brands like that. In addition to that they have some shoe brands you won't be getting at these other stores as well as some outdoor camping supply type stuff. Really, the only down tick in rating for me is the fact that the prices in here can tend to be a little on the high side. But otherwise, a really quality store with some really cool stuff.

I need a new pair of hiking shoes and want to stick to Merrill shoes…read more My spouse looked up this store and said they had lots in stock. Ok. Off I go! Well, they do have some Merrell hiking shoes, but only 10 pairs of women's. I counted what was in the shelf. Exactly ten. They don't have any 6 1/2 so I tried in a 6 and a 7. I need a 6 1/2, so I sat on the bench and ordered a pair online from the Merrell store. Frankly, the amount of women's hiking shoes and socks was dismal. Weird thing happened when I was sitting there. An employee, a white male heavy set probably in his 30's was talking to another employee kind of loudly saying "It is always the white middle age women I'm telling you. Always!" I am not sure what that was about, but as a white senior woman, that didn't sit well with me I left the store. My review is not about the comment, but lack of inventory. But the comment bugs me.
