This is the place to go if you're anywhere from Betram to Florence to Leander; they have a ton of hardware, supplies, mulch, soil & fertilizer, as well as limited barbecue grills, a few (large!) water fountains and outside statuary& chairs and some fun stuff too. What a big place. The staff is first rate; you will not get past the first one with out a "howdy" and there's no pressure. Plan a little time to look at everything because you're going to need it. Now why not five stars? Well, my only gripe - and it's no big deal - is that it's hard to figure out what things cost. Some things - well less than half by the way - have prices you can see. The rest, especially one-off outdoor items from coolers to cookers to statuary - have "item" numbers. I guess that lets staff look prices up but how many trips do I make inside to ask 'how much is item ....?' Maybe there's a price list or something I missed but this is the only negative I've found so far. So; just go.

I happened to walk by last week during a shoe sale where it was an extra 40% off of their sale shoes. It was end of day on the last day of this but I was still able to score Birkenstocks and two new balance sneakers for around $130. INSANE. The employee helping us was super helpful and kept going to the stock room to see if they had additional sizes. I appreciated the effort and the fact that he didn't seem annoyed. Will for sure be back

Guy in shoes was there by himself and never said anything to me. I was ready to make a purchase, but obviously that was not what he was there for. A second employee came by and they had a nice chat. I am done. I am happy to spend my money elsewhere where it will be appreciated.

I wanted to see a $1000 plug-in cooler that they carry, but the only one they had on the floor was unopened and he not interested in opening it. He said they have one for employee use in their office, but didn't offer to bring it out. I offered to go look at it and Ed told me that it is upstairs in the office. I think I surprised him because, though I'm an old guy, I wouldn't mind going upstairs. When he discovered that I would go upstairs, the story changed to "oh, you can't go in the office. It's off-limits". At this point, I left because I didn't want to impose upon Ed's time anymore than I already had.

The atmosphere was welcoming and family-friendly, with plenty of opportunities to explore the store while enjoying the activities. The plant pop-up was a nice touch and fit perfectly with Whole Earth's outdoor lifestyle theme. I also enjoyed seeing the updates to the Lamar location, including the refreshed store layout. Whole Earth Provision Co. has always been a great place to find outdoor gear, unique gifts, and adventure-inspired products, and events like this make the shopping experience even more enjoyable. It was a creative way to bring the community together and celebrate the outdoors.

The first time I went I felt like I was borderline being followed around by staff without even being spoken to. They have a lot of potential to be great if they just had friendlier rapport with customers.

Between funding my men's softball league career and buying enough fishing gear to single-handedly stimulate the local economy in pursuit of becoming the next bass-fishing legend, I'm practically a co-owner. My garage looks like an Academy warehouse. Jokes aside, this location is top-tier. The store is always immaculate, there's a mountain of easy parking, and the staff are ridiculously helpful--mostly because they've had to watch me wander the aisles questioning my life choices over various gear combinations weekly. Plus, download the app and use their price-matching policy, because they always have the best deals. Five stars. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go see if a new rod will finally make the fish respect me.

The store is huge and has an impressive selection of clothing, shoes, bikes, exercise equipment, hunting gear, fishing supplies, and so much more. I could easily spend hours walking through all the different departments. The store was clean, well organized, and easy to navigate. The staff at the front were friendly and welcoming. The only downside was that there weren't many employees on the sales floor to help customers when needed. Overall, it was a great shopping experience, and I'd definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

I worked with Daniel to place an order of a new Staccato and he was helpful, friendly, funny and quick with getting it all squared away. I ordered on Monday and was able to pick up my new gun Friday. I even got a free shirt with it, all at a lower price than what I would've paid from the manufacturer. It's safe to say that I was impressed and will continue to support this business if I'm in the market for anything they carry.

Good luck getting in touch with someone if there's a problem with your order. Short hours Monday…read morethrough Friday, closed weekends. Phone calls during normal business hours go to voicemail, but are never returned. Emails regarding technical issues not responded to. Pay $4-5,000 for a pistol -- but you're on your own if there's a problem. Just try to get some help elsewhere. Then there are delays... "You need to contact our company before your order can be processed." There's no accountability when they take your money, but it takes weeks to actually reach someone in their customer service department to resolve the issue. Either they've cut back on staff to the point where this is a "bare-bones" shoestring operation, or they're not really concerned about the impact they have on their customers. This "don't care, don't have to" attitude has to change. It boils down to this: who is serving whom? After having an issue with an order (Dawson Precision charged my credit card, but I was unable to reach the company for technical assistant AND/OR customer service), my credit card company reported they were unable to reach the company and months later, the issue is still unresolved. The internet order is processed by a machine, which determines there's something wrong with the order: WHO KNOWS WHAT? Try reasoning with a machine. The machine doesn't care that your merchandise doesn't function properly, or that your order is delayed months. It doesn't care: it doesn't have to. Being polite, tactful, and diplomatic doesn't seem to work... not sure what does. This much I can report: there have been problems (and delays) in six of nine orders placed with Dawson Precision -- not one of them having anything to do with the item ordered being out of stock or back ordered. Six problems with nine orders: 66.6% of my orders placed online have had lengthy delays. That's a very bad track record. I hope your experience is better than mine.

Patrick, the manager, not only matched the price, but went out of his way to help me find the exact board I wanted in the color I was looking for. He was incredibly helpful, courteous, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure I left with exactly what I wanted. Patrick wasn't the only one, either. Several employees helped me while I was there, and every single person was kind, knowledgeable, and willing to help. I was actually surprised to see that this location has some lower reviews because that has never been my experience. Every time I've shopped here, I've received great service. I'm not sure how old some of those reviews are, but my experience was excellent. I found exactly what I was looking for, got the price I was hoping for, and was treated with genuine care throughout the entire process. Huge thank you to Patrick and the rest of the team. This is exactly what great customer service should look like.

I never throw away blown out tennis shoes because I use them when I work in the yard and walk for short distances. Just like food or other items that expire fitness shoes have a life. Depending how frequent you use your use, you could average 6 months to over a year. When I was training for marathons, I literally bought a pair of running shoes every 6 months because of the long distance running. I always know when I am ready for a new pair of fitness shoes. The red flag sign that scream shoe replacement is needed primarily is pain. I have a high arch and when the arch falls in fitness shoes, my feet hurt. Another sign for fitness shoe replacement include worn-out shoe soles, and a noticeable decrease in traction while you are moving in class. When your feet are cushioned, your feet are happy. They maybe singing Pharrell's song, Happy. Smile. To my surprise Academy was open until 10 pm. The customer service desk managed by Rick was super helpful. He allowed me take my shoes that I ordered online back to their shoe section to see if I could find a match in black. Unfortunately, black was sold out. However, I decided to keep my fitness shoes because they were comfortable on my feet, on sale ("Hot Deal") and I did not pay tax on the shoes. Happy feet...Happy Delores!
