    This store is located off of Barrett Parkway off of hwy 75. First this store is massive. I mean two story massive. It's also connected to the Field and Stream and I was told there are only 16 stores in the country like this so I feel all special now.... I came in today with my friend and her daughter. They were looking for some lacrosse gear and maybe some new sneakers. We met a couple of nice sales people here but I found the size of the store to be overwhelming. Its not a store I would shop in everyday but glad I came...

    Earl is the absolute most incredible employee that there ever was! So my sister recently purchased a kayak from Dick's and absolutely loves it. We went on the water a few times and it prompted me to want one too. I had forgotten, but she kept telling me to look for Earl to help out. Sadly Earl was not there when I went in, but the gentleman was helpful in that he let us know that the kayak I was looking at for a lower price was not very good, as many had returned it recently, and said it was worth for us to go to the higher priced one (and said he didn't make commission), but he wasn't able to really help bring down kayaks physically and it was kind of hard for me to do so myself. But I appreciated that he let me know, as I had read reviews online about that kayak in particular that had said the same thing, and I would have been mad if I had purchased it and realized after I got on the water that I hated it. Since I don't live close to this location that would have been a pain in the butt to return, and I appreciate the honesty. Anyway, I went back again because my brother wanted to get one too after my sister and I did, so I went to pick his out via facetime as he had to work and couldn't go. Although they are all the same kayak that we purchased, they all have unique colorings that are slightly different. While most people would think you are psychotic to want to bring out a bunch of kayaks to choose a slight variation of color, when I went Earl was there this last time, and he was so helpful in bringing down a handful of the kayaks so that I could look at them and FaceTime my brother to choose which one he wants. He understood that the slight variations were important to us. Then after all his help doing that, we realized that my brother had already paid online and they had already chosen my boat for curbside. We then went and looked at that boat and he let me inspect that one too before choosing the final one. Also, they didn't have the paddles in our size in store, so he let me know about the ones online and a local store that carried them as well. How honest! After I left, I was just so grateful in how absolutely helpful he was. He was kind, accommodating and shared some of the best customer service I had received from any retail store in years! When I got home my sister asked me if Earl helped me when I told her the story of this helpful man who didn't think I was nuts for looking at them all so closely, and she goes- that's Earl! That's the guy I kept telling you about! She told me she had the same experience with him, but that Earl was even MORE helpful to her in choosing her kayak! What a guy! Anyway, the service was just so good, I wanted to make sure to publicly thank him and my great service there. If you go to Dick's in Kennesaw, ask for Earl if you want the best service ever!

    It's been about maybe a week or two since I've been to Dick's Sporting Goods. And unfortunately I lost my receipt and don't know which one I was at. However I cannot get this man's name out of my head because he helped us so much and made our experience amazing!!! The employee named Earl helped me and my Significant other with kayaks. We had no clue how to kayak nor have we ever been. Earl described each kayak to us in detail told us the best places to go and even how to do it. Not to mention he was supposed to leave at 5:00 PM and stayed almost an entire hour over, possibly more,just to help us (ON MEMORIAL DAY). And he didn't even stop at just helping us choose which one to get he also helped us carry them to the truck and helped at checkout. His customer service and personality is out of this world. We just want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts because this would've never happen without your expertise and amazing help overall!!! Hopefully we'll see you on the water soon and can thank you even more!!!! (Posting this on every dicks sporting goods near me cause he deserves to be recognized for the amazing job he did!)

    Dicks transferred their hiking boot sales to Field and Stream and now their hiking boots cost more.

I told her that I had purchased two pairs just before COVID so that I could alternate days of wearing the shoes. The store closed for COVID before I could return the defective pair. Instead of wearing out the one pair, I decided to wear the defective pair until the store reopened. I even showed her both pairs of shoes so that she could see the defect for herself. Both the clerk and manager, whom she called over to examine the shoes, were very nasty and treated me like a criminal, although I did nothing to violate their return policy. I also had my bike tuned up and repaired there. Some of the services for which I had paid were not completed. When I asked to have them done, the mechanic was very nasty. When I took the bike with me on an RV trip across country, one of my riding companions, who is a triathlete, pointed out other problems that should have been repaired. I will never use the repair shop at this location again!

There is also one in Alpharetta, which would be the one I'd recommend out of all of them. This location is fairly nice and large. They have your basic camping, recreational, fishing and outdoor needs. They also sell clothing, shoes and guns. My visit was purely related to kayaking, which is how I'm rating them. In terms of kayak selection, not much available in-store. Then again, it's hard to find a broad selection of kayaks at any place and ones that are affordable. Typically wal-mart would be a better option for cheap and affordable. This location has more high-end, and expect to pay between $650 & $1300 for their models. Thankfully I had already purchased a kayak and only needed gear for it. They have tons of items for your kayak, including: car racks, scooper plugs, fishing rod holder attachment, dry sacks, waterproof phone/laptop cases, paddle holder kits, and repair parts. For what I purchased, I felt like I got a great deal and plenty of variety to choose from. I'd certainly recommend this spot for kayak needs!

Judging from some of the others reviews, I'm not the only one who's had the pleasure ... ahem ... of dealing with this guy. I have an Sig P365 xMacro. Nice EDC pistol except for the trigger. Bought an MCarbo trigger on-line but I no longer have the manual dexterity to do detailed gun work so I took it to Tru Prep. The gunsmith says, I hate working on those and don't want to do it. Fine, I thought, I'll just go somewhere else. But then he follows that with, I'd have to charge you an arm and a leg to do it. I asked how much is an arm and a leg in dollars. Hundred bucks. Sheesh. But I need it done so I said, proceed. How long will it take? A week, he says. Two weeks go by and I haven't heard from him. I call the store. He's not there but Amy, he's be of their awesome employees, offers to email the gunsmith right away. I simply want to know when my pistol will be ready. No response from the gunsmith. I call the shop last week and manage to get him on the phone. When will my pistol be ready? This week, he says. I wait until today, Sunday. I go in and he's got an attitude (how DARE I expect him to meet his commitment, right?). I merely said, I'm here to pick up my pistol. No apology whatsoever, the guy just hands it back. Three weeks and I still don't have my trigger installed. Would I recommend this place for gunsmithing work? Am I allowed to say HELL NO! on Yelp? Again, the store itself is staffed by nice people. My problem is with the arrogant, undependable gunsmith. Unfortunately there's not a way to post a review about him without dinging the store as well. However, perhaps the owner will see this negative review and realize he's got a problem employee who's reflecting poorly on the place as a whole.
