Academy Sports is situated on Gallatin Road just beyond or before the Walmart shopping center…read more While I have no certainly loyalty to a big box sporting goods store, I will say that if I had to commit to one, after my recent visit to Academy...it probably would not be them. Popped in on a Saturday morning after shopping online. Figured be best to look in store before purchasing. The store is large and laid out well from a section standpoint. Everything is labeled, easy to find and easy to navigate. The store has seen better days. After walking around, some sections of the store give off "closing" vibes with empty or disheveled shelves and displays, or products on display that definitely need to be replaced. To go along with that, the floors are worn and stained in multiple places, shelving units are in disrepair, ceilings are stained, and more. The store needs some TLC. While I was in store to look at very specific items, I decided to wander the aisles and look for any deals or items of interest. I walked around the store and through each section for over 15 minutes, and passed by no fewer than 12 Associates and not one time was acknowledged or spoken to. Not that I needed help, but it is wild that no one took one moment to greet a customer, not even when I was leaving the store and passed by 4 Associates huddled by the registers. Overall, the store is not a good representation of Academy, or at least the Academy Sports I remember visiting. From condition of the store to service, or lack thereof, this location did not show well. Selection if solid and prices are not the worst, but without that, this would have certainly been a one star review.

Came back in town for a visit, looking for some fishing line and see things haven't changed at all.

Saw a longer rod crammed on top shelf, bowing against ceiling tiles. See pic Onto BassPro for me

On 04/24, I purchased a STEPR from Dick's online, including delivery (up to 1 flight of steps) &…read moreassembly. The first delivery attempt was on 05/15; the window was 11am to 3pm. The delivery crew arrived about 2 hrs 45 minutes past 3:00pm. While waiting, I called the delivery company to find out where they were; I was told that they couldn't look that up. The delivery crew finally called to tell me they were on their way. I told them we had to pick my niece up from the airport. We couldn't wait for delivery & assembly to be completed. The crew insisted on coming into our home to complete delivery. Their insistence was so intense that I felt uncomfortable. I finally told them to reschedule & I went inside. I requested another delivery date ASAP. I contacted Dick's about the issue but Dick's had no sense of urgency. Our delivery was rescheduled to 06/09. I received a phone call from delivery company Select Express stating delivery would be late "due to a flat tire." The window was now 4pm to 7pm. Previously, I requested a different crew but it was ignored. My husband watched from the front door as the crew struggled to move the item onto a dolly; he watched as it fell off the dolly onto our driveway. It was placed back on the dolly. We do not think it was damaged. Next, they attempted to bring the item onto our front porch to go up 3 steps. My husband met them at the door & they told him they'd need to use the dolly to take the item upstairs on the hardwood stairs in our new build home. We asked why they didn't have straps or other equipment (like other delivery companies) to prevent damage to our floors. We were told if anything was damaged we could file a claim. One of the crew said he was physically unable to carry anything because he has a bad hip and he could use the dolly if he took breaks!! The other crew member was of small stature and he acknowledged this fact when I told him that. He would've been of limited help to the man who has a bad hip. We called our neighbor to come to give his opinion & to be a witness. With no prompting from us, our neighbor independently said he would not allow anyone with a wet, dirty dolly to move the heavy item over his hardwood steps. We didn't want the hassle of very likely having to file a claim for damages. It was clear they could not properly move the item upstairs. It was too heavy for them. Period. It was pouring rain that day. The item was left on our front porch & again we requested an appropriate crew to make delivery. The smaller man said he'd file a report but could make no promises! We had to find tarp to cover the item. We contacted Dick's again. Again, Dick's said they had no control over the delivery. My husband told them that we purchased the item from Dick's so we were looking to them to make it right. We've never asked for any money back, any discount. We only want what I paid for almost 2 months ago to be safely & properly delivered. Dick's has done absolutely NOTHING to help us. The last Dick's customer service person said he was at home in Chicago & couldn't do anything about it but would email someone!! Most recently, we received a call from a female at AIT (one of the delivery companies used by Dick's). She began the conversation by saying "I understand you refused delivery." I was furious. My furious husband took over the call as I was by now in tears. AIT's representative told us this was their best crew. We told her that the item couldn't stay on our porch for 2 weeks. As the item will sit on our front porch for another 10 days. Today, I received notice that delivery could be made on 06/19 10am to 1pm. We were forced to make a concession to have the delivery completed & assembled in our garage. This is not what we wanted. However, since none of these companies (especially Dick's) cares about us as customers, we've been forced into making the change for them. I paid over $4,000 for the equipment to include delivery up 1 flight of stairs & assembly. I can tell you that it wasn't worth it. By the next offered delivery date, it will be 57 days since I made the purchase. Don't make the same mistake I made. If you choose to purchase any large ticket item (or probably even socks), please prepare yourself for massive, widespread indifference from Dick's and any vendor.

This DICK'S Sporting Goods location sits directly on Gallatin Pike in a large shopping center…read morealongside a few other major brands such as Best Buy, and for the most part is your standard DICK'S. I popped in on a Saturday afternoon to scope some new running shoes. The store was busy and well staffed, however 9/10 staff members that I encountered on the sales floor never said one thing to me, or even acknowledged me. Normally I get stellar service at DICK'S, but this location seemed a bit off brand. The store was well stocked, clean and in good condition. They definitely take care of it. I did purchase some shoes and the checkout process was pretty seamless and the cashier was friendly. Overall, odd service wise, but other than that it was your standard DICK'S experience. Happily pop back in when needed.

Mostly clothing, but also offer other goods from coolers, hats, shoes, accessories, glasses, etc... I popped by out of curiosity, as I had never heard of Binks, and I was in the market for a new hat. They had a wide variety of hats, which I enjoyed. While looking at the hats, I saw several polos in style and material that I like, however the prices were a bit steeper than I am interested in paying. With that, outside of the clearance/sales racks placed at the entry doors, there were no true "sales" inside of the store. Service was essentially non-existent. I was in the store for close to 10 minutes, not one person spoke to me, and I walked around the entire store, even near the register where the two associates were huddled. Overall, nothing special about this spot for me. It truly is just OK...solid 2.5.

When Brick checked me out, I thought that sounded a little pricey for 2 items. After getting home, some time later, I was looking at the receipt and he had charged me TWICE for one of the items - the most expensive item as it turns out. No use going back (20 minutes away) or calling because I can't prove anything. If I ever go back you can be sure I will make sure I'm not overcharged for anything.
