Came time to replace the shoes I work out in and I have a very specific brand and quite large size so never surprised if it's not in stock. Hit the jackpot today because I called and they had 5 pairs of exactly what I was looking for. Spoke to "Heather" on the phone, then she helped me once I arrived at the store. She was patience, friendly and thorough, insisting I really should try both on even though this was probably my fourth pair of this brand. We had a chance to chat about all things downtown Lawrence and I enjoyed the time spent with her. The store is well stocked and there's no pretense involved in the purchase, something that seems to come with buying performance athletic shoes. In all, the exact experience I was looking for in a retailer. Very highly recommended!

Simply the best running store around. With locations in Overland Park and KCMO, this Lawrence…read morelocation is the newest in the Garry Gribbles family. However, new doesn't mean inexperienced or poor service in this case. Staffed with an exceptional group of dedicated runners, they'll personally take the time to fit you with exactly the right shoe for your running style. I've bought two pairs of shoes there, my wife has bough one pair, and each time they've sat down with us and been completely ok with taking 30-45 minutes to make sure we get the right shoe. I fight shin splints and the staff able to quickly diagnose my gait style and help me select a shoe that proved to remedy my ailment and keep me running. Shoes are expensive, but Garry Gribbles constantly offers clearance deals and specials so you don't have to buy improper shoes out of budget considerations. Also a great place to meet other runners, they offer a pretty solid calendar of races and events around town. OH, and they stock my favorite socks in the world, Injini's, which just makes me all kinds of happy camper. They recently started carrying Vibram's Five Fingers, which perhaps seems like a counter-intuitive move for a running shoe store, but Gribbles is all about making your runs better and seems to have a service first, money second attitude. I can't recommend them highly enough, if you're a runner, walker, or person with legs and feet, you NEED to stop by Garry Gribbles.

Even though it's old and local there are some very cool things in this store. Weavers has a wide selection of many different items- clothing, makeup, shoes, home goods, luggage.

There is a personalized touch to this store and they get to know you by name. The only drawback is the parking situation and it's not Weavers fault. Parking in downtown Lawrence should be an Olympic event. However, to get the reward of going to Weavers, you gotta brave the parking downtown. The prices are very reasonable and the merchandise is very contemporary. There's something for everyone at Weavers.

I'm honestly tired of giving my money to stores that hire people that don't like helping people, so I didn't. Although there were 4 other associates in the store, no one reached out to ask if I needed assistance. I really wanted a good winter boot and I couldn't decide between the Sperry's or Doc Marten's.

What struck me first was the color coded sections, which I actually like because I'm picky. So I went to my preferred color choice and started combing the racks to see what they had to offer. Lots of jersey cotton designed into pretty, fitted tees and dresses. More modern selection of jackets and tights. They cross the line on some items, but they do call themselves "eccentric" so cowboy boots with plaid and fringe are A-Ok with them. They also experiment with animal prints (something that I've never gotten), and really colorful accessories (I mean, REALLY colorful stuff that might even make a gay man cringe). But overall, they displayed a nice selection of women's clothing that was eclectic and accessible to most. I also dug their jewelry section because it was a little different than most, focusing on chunky chains and big pendants. They didn't look cheap (well, they weren't cheap) but affordable and vintage looking.

Well, let me first say that I'm not a sporting type person. When I was a kid I used to play…read moreintramural basketball that's probably the closest I've ever come to being an athlete. Through the years I used to watch NBA championships and NFL Super Bowls that's it. The road the teams took to get there, I never really followed those roads I just always tune in for the finale's. That being said, the Kansas City chiefs won their third championship yesterday and I was very proud of them because I know how hard they worked for that. Due to this I wanted to purchase a jersey to commemorate their accomplishment. I looked online to see if there was a Dick's Sporting Goods near me and to my surprise it was one very close. So I came to this location 30 minutes after they opened for the day. I have never shopped at a Dick's Sporting Goods store before, so everything that I seen was new and fresh to my eyes. As I enter the store they had a huge sign stating that there was no discrimination allowed in the store and that everyone is welcome. I know that this sign clearly catered to the LGBTQ community and not necessarily to someone like me. I walked further in and immediately I saw the rows and rows of chief memorabilia and gear laid out for customers to pick and choose to their hearts content what they wanted to parade on their bodies or in their cars. As I went through row after row, I kept seeing the sizes of S, M, L, and XL. There were no plus sizes of any kind. Now of course it would be a Health nuts utopia to actually believe that every fan of the Kansas City chiefs was an extra large sized person or smaller. But if any of you have ever been to a game and looked at those people in those stands the majority of the people up there are from the flabby family to which I am a member. So as I rummaged through all of these shirts, hoodies and jackets and saw nothing that I could wear , I became more angry at the sign that I saw as I entered the store. How can you say that you don't discriminate when you know there are people of plus size that are Chiefs fans and you don't have anything to accommodate them. But I decided that I was shopping for my love of the team, not my love of the store. So as I wandered to the front of the store, I saw a table of chief gear and found a beautiful authentic Chiefs Tumblr and decided to purchase that. When I came to the register the lady actually had the audacity to ask me if I found everything that I wanted. I bluntly said, "no, because you have nothing here that accommodates people of my size. I guess fat people can't be fans" I must admit that she was quick to apologize, quick to assure me that more shipments would be coming in and to call before I come and they would surely try to hold a jersey for me so that I could purchase one. She did make an attempt to correct the situation as best she could and although I thanked her for being nice and I can appreciate the apology, in my mind it wouldn't even be necessary if they had thought of people like me in the first place. Her actions to try to correct it is sort of an afterthought of the company. I can't blame her for doing her job but I can blame the actual company for not making sure that they ordered sizes to accommodate all fans of the Chiefs. And the reason I know that they could've done this is that when I left dicks sporting good, I came home went online to fanatic.com and found a championship jersey in my size and placed my order. Brick and mortar stores need to really stop and think about why they are losing customers at an alarming rate. It's all about the customers and being sure that you have the supply and demand to meet the customers need. When you don't care enough to meet the needs of the customers, the customer will take their need to someone who can, which is what I did. So I guess when it gets down to it if you are thin, petite and athletic , This is the store for you. They will have everything to meet your desires.
