Store employees seem uninterested in assisting customers. No one volunteered to see if I needed anything or if I was finding what I was looking for. Did check out the barbecue pits in front and they also didn't have the one I really liked that is at my store in Kyle. So if I was in town and needed something that only Academy had, I would probably shop here but otherwise I'll wait till I get back home

When I went to the cash register there was no one in line in front of me. The cashier was very friendly. I was able to get a gift receipt for the shirt and the checker made sure to hand me the gift receipt separately so that it wouldn't get lost. I probably only spent 15 minutes in the store including the time that it took me to shop around for the gift. I feel like I got a good deal and the shopping experience was nice.

No way for me to ever make it there when I work till 5 some days or 8pm other days unless I try to come on my lunch break and there just isn't enough time.

The store itself deserves 5 stars! Customer service deserves a 0! Took my granddaughter to buy shoes, we had to go to the front counter to ask for the matching shoes for try on. No one ever came to ask if we needed help. When I went to make my purchase I went to the clerk that was at a register because the other was busy inhaling a giant sized bag of chips! I was told the clerk at the register was busy to go to he other register. The clerk who was chowing on chips rung me up and bagged my shoes without even wiping her hands. Today's experience felt like I was inconveniencing the employee's. Not a great feeling.

His staff was absolutely the most team oriented group with all providing help and no one trying to be superhero know-it-all which happens way too often. Their prices can't be beat, and speaking from personal experience , it is a great escape from the drama of having horses and/or dogs in surgery at the best Vet Hospital in the world (totally unbiased as I am 3rd generation Longhorn). Go enjoy the low pressure, high intellect of this great store!

I ventured into Bear Mountain right after the holidays to get properly fitted for hiking boots…read morebefore an overseas backpacking trip. I've done a bit of day hiking before, but never been professionally fitted or been on multi-day trips. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I could not have been more pleased. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The guy who helped me spent a lot of time answering questions and helping me be sure I got the best fit- and I ended up with a less expensive boot than I expected (which never happens). They had really good sales at that time, and I ended up coming back the next day to get a new pack. On the following day, I found an equally friendly and knowledgable staff. A friendly staff even after the holidays is the sign of a good shop, I think. Anyway, If you are looking for hiking, camping, or kayaking gear- start here.

One checker and you could tell she wasn't into her job or customer service at all. Just going thru the motions. It wasn't just me complaining. The whole line was.

One lady said she would not return and the other said if she wanted to shop at Belk she would go to Lufkin. I'm not too sure I will be back!
