Review based solely on our interaction with Hayden…read more Hayden was extremely helpful in the shoe department. He ensured we had our questions answered, he helped to price match an item and ensured a manager was aware of the price match prior to leaving at his end of day. When we went to checkout the mgr was aware and we were provided the discount as promised. The checkout was easy and they were friendly also.

I went to Dick's Sporting Goods specifically to buy rollerblades because I wanted advice from…read moresomeone knowledgeable instead of ordering blindly on Amazon. The associate in the rollerblade department handed me two boxes, directed me to a bench in another department, and that was apparently the extent of the customer service. Thankfully, two younger female associates stepped in and actually tried to help, which I really appreciated. If Dick's keeps this level of customer service up, they'll be reminiscing with Sports Authority. In summary, I walked in looking for expert advice and walked out realizing the five-star Amazon reviewers were the real sporting goods specialists. Needless to say, Amazon won my business.

This tiny version packs a punch with its sparkling display of Lightning apparel. Look no further through the terminal for official koozies, keychains, beach towels, shot glasses, water bottles, etc. Great variety of hats if you prefer snap backs. The Rays and Buccaneers selection was a lot smaller -but they're not in season. The only player shirt I saw was Stamkos. Overall the selection was better than expected for an airport shop. Clearly meant for picking up the basics in a pinch but fans know to shop at the stadiums for the ultimate experience. The vibrant big screen tv's were an added bonus plus the floor space is shared with the neighboring kids shop.

But the…read moreguy who apparently works in the fishing department and acts like the paying customer is stupid and doesn't know what their talking about And would not put 30 pound braid on because it might "break the rod" even though the rating on it is for MONO not braid and for braid you double the max mono rating making 30 pound braid useable but the employee would not do that. Also it even shows 30 pound braid as the braid line capacity on the side of the baitcasting reel. Otherwise the selection of gear is ok. The value is average. But overall even if the employees were helpful it's an ok store

They have anything and…read moreeverything you can think of when it comes to sports - gear, apparel, accessories, workout equipment, etc. They sell mostly brand name items, so the price points are higher, but also the quality. There are registers at both ends of the store that lead either to parking lot or entry to the mall. There are associates throughout the store and they are ready to answer questions if you have them. We were on the lookout for collegiate football team gear and they had plenty for both of our teams. Given their location they have more of the Tampa local teams but still have other Florida teams as well. Overall: A Solid large location with plenty of options and variety for anything and everything sport.

Asked them if they knew of anywhere else in the area. I asked for a reference since they were "so busy" and he gave me a fake name of a nonexistent store an hour away. Been coming here for years for guns, paint and what not. They won't be receiving another penny of mine. They don't deserve the one star I'm forced to give them. Update: Took my gun to log cabin paintball & archery. (About 20 minutes away, not valrico )Eric was able to repair the gun in about 15 minutes and charged me next to nothing... literally. Which yes made me happy but made me even more upset that I'd be turned away from a store that was so "busy" even though the repair only took a few minutes. Wicked sports, ran by wicked A-holes.

"yeah our football cleets only sell for 20.00" ... the football cleets in the store were dirty and dingy, these still had stickers on them and everything, and were practically new, by then, I was just embarrassed l told him "fine ok whatever" so then he handed me 6.00 not even 8.00.... I won't ever do business with this place ever again. wasteful trip

Darren went above and beyond helping me with a replacement item my sister gifted me. His dedication and kindness made the process seamless, and I can't thank him enough. When I stopped by today for the exchange, I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous water shoes displayed at the entrance. Kaitlyn was incredibly helpful--not only with the purchase but also with thoughtful tips on how to wear them comfortably. Her enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience even better. As fellow local business owners, we deeply value supporting other local gems, and Backwater Provisions is one of the best. There's something special about being helped by people who genuinely care and know their community. Thank you, Darren and Kaitlyn--I'm forever grateful! Rina
