I want to give a shout out to some amazing young adults that work at the Dick's Sporting Goods in Gastonia. Mike, Sharidan and Eion. First, Mike you were so helpful while I was looking for football mouthguards, and compression shorts. Made me feel comfortable and your willingness to help was amazing! I spent more money there because I felt like I had the help if needed. Sharidan, your confidence at that front register while I was checking out with the Affirm app!! Girl! You in no way made me feel rushed, a bother, or an inconvenience. You handled that like a pro. Eion, this is the second time you have gone out of your way to help me in the shoe department, the first time you don't even remember but I do. I won't go to any other Dick's, whoever trained y'all did an amazing job! You three are the A-team. I will be talking about y'all!! read more

I have been to various Sporting stores and treated with the cliche teenagers just waiting to get off work; or hiding behind the racks praying you won't ask them for help. As a single mom trying to save every penny; I've always been hesitant about walking into Dick's. I felt their prices were above my head and probably not in the market to help someone like me who's trying to save every dime she can. That was not the case for the second time now going into the Gastonia, NC location. I have been to Walmart, Kohl's, TJ Max, Target, and always end up at Dick's. Last week I was able to find and afford a great pair of lightweight Nikes for my five year old little girl without worrying about having enough cash in my wallet for groceries. From the associate to the cashier, Tracy; all treated me with special attention and care. And yes they truly care. Tracy empathized with me and my little girl and we ended up getting a better pair of shoes then she could have gotten anywhere else. My little girl wears those shoes with pride and as a single mom I was so happy to be able to finally give her something she deserves. Today I had problems at the exact same stores just finding roller skates not even imagining Dick's would have them. No one even cared to even step out to help me look. I was trained to believe Walmart, as much as I don't like going in there, would have them at the best price. Wrong. I ended up at Dick's again in Gastonia. I anticipated just trying to find her size and pray to afford them. Instead of letting me stand there and budget this months finances; a very kind rep walked over. I heard a very kind and professional voice say, "Can I help you find something ma'am?". I did prejudge when I saw the teen walking towards me thinking this jock isn't really going to care to help. Thats what I get for judging. Zach, kindly walked with me to the roller skates and instead of dismissing me with "Sorry we don't have anything." He checked inventory, clarified what I needed, and ended up finding a better brand of roller skates at a much better price than I thought I could afford. I couldn't explain to him how much my girls have been through and how his kindness was going to make life brighter for her because she was getting more than she expected. Instead I told him she was going to be sooo happy. He told me that was all that mattered to him. Lighting doesn't strike twice in the same spot and you can't make people care for people they don't know. This store is not just great, they are human and so their jobs with respect and integrity. After meeting their store manager, Aaron I understood why the staff was so strong. Thank you guys for always giving this mom hope and care to bring back to my girls. You truly are the best. God Bless. read more

It's nice to have this store in Gastonia . They have a decent selection of a multitude of sports stuff and clothes. I run in here for gloves, hand warmers, repellent, yoga stuff, and jackets. You usually have to go find an associate since the staff is small read more

Wow!! This place is great, Tracey went above and beyond to help me she is the "key " to good customer service. She was up beat and extremely helpful and kind. Tracey rocks! read more

I have used Dick's for my running gear for quite some time and yesterday was the first time I had to return a pair of shoes. Even after wearing them they took them back without any hesitation and allowed me to switch them out with a different style. They were all very friendly and helpful. Will definitely continue to use this store. read more

Not a bad little sport store joint. There place is very clean and friendly staff. There was a lot of stuff.

Went to Dicks Sporting to buy a pair of training shoes for the gym but the selection was slim and I didn't find anything remotely close to what I was looking for. After speaking with the associate there I realized that I would be better off going to another location. After going to the Northlake location, I was able to find exactly what I needed and had excellent advice from the associate. So I don't mean to degrade Dicks Sporting in Gastonia, however if you want a wider range of selection then you're better off going to a different location such as Northlake. read more

Yes, it is a big box store, but it's filled with all sorts of cool stuff. Got Nike brand soccer cleats and shin guards for my boy for less than $30 bucks. The sales associate in sneakers was good about making sure the cleats were the right size for growing feet. read more
