Academy Sports is situated on Gallatin Road just beyond or before the Walmart shopping center…read more While I have no certainly loyalty to a big box sporting goods store, I will say that if I had to commit to one, after my recent visit to Academy...it probably would not be them. Popped in on a Saturday morning after shopping online. Figured be best to look in store before purchasing. The store is large and laid out well from a section standpoint. Everything is labeled, easy to find and easy to navigate. The store has seen better days. After walking around, some sections of the store give off "closing" vibes with empty or disheveled shelves and displays, or products on display that definitely need to be replaced. To go along with that, the floors are worn and stained in multiple places, shelving units are in disrepair, ceilings are stained, and more. The store needs some TLC. While I was in store to look at very specific items, I decided to wander the aisles and look for any deals or items of interest. I walked around the store and through each section for over 15 minutes, and passed by no fewer than 12 Associates and not one time was acknowledged or spoken to. Not that I needed help, but it is wild that no one took one moment to greet a customer, not even when I was leaving the store and passed by 4 Associates huddled by the registers. Overall, the store is not a good representation of Academy, or at least the Academy Sports I remember visiting. From condition of the store to service, or lack thereof, this location did not show well. Selection if solid and prices are not the worst, but without that, this would have certainly been a one star review.

We used to live 2 miles from this store, Madison Tn., and would prefer to drive to Mt. Juliet…read morelocation almost 30 miles away. Came back in town for a visit, looking for some fishing line and see things haven't changed at all. Older gentlemen employee holding 3 brand new fishing rods in his hand, using them to cram garbage down in a can.....yep....no surprise to me either. Saw a longer rod crammed on top shelf, bowing against ceiling tiles. See pic Onto BassPro for me

I was shopping with my very picky 13 year old daughter and running out of options for Skinny Jeans…read moreand suggested American Eagle. Generally, I despise the store because the clothes are ugly and the staff are ALWAYS rude in any of their stores. Desperate, we went it. The first thing to hit you is a smell of barn animal. It literally smells like a barn and animal poop in here!!! A sales girl came up to us while we were looking at jeans and I said we were just looking for jeans for my daughter. Her comment back was that they had jeans on clearance that I could probably afford. I have never been so offended. The jeans are not even expensive. We walked right out and found a place to spend our money. I am surprised this store is still in business.

Binks Outfitters is located in The Streets of Indian Lake in Hendersonville, and is your standard…read more"outfitter" store that features all the brands an outdoorsman/woman would enjoy. Mostly clothing, but also offer other goods from coolers, hats, shoes, accessories, glasses, etc... I popped by out of curiosity, as I had never heard of Binks, and I was in the market for a new hat. They had a wide variety of hats, which I enjoyed. While looking at the hats, I saw several polos in style and material that I like, however the prices were a bit steeper than I am interested in paying. With that, outside of the clearance/sales racks placed at the entry doors, there were no true "sales" inside of the store. Service was essentially non-existent. I was in the store for close to 10 minutes, not one person spoke to me, and I walked around the entire store, even near the register where the two associates were huddled. Overall, nothing special about this spot for me. It truly is just OK...solid 2.5.

I came in for a pair of on clouds for my beautiful daughter. I was so lost in the store due to me…read morehaving a condition but a young blonde man helped me find what I was looking for. He was nothing but kind and genuinely helped. I'd love to thank him one day I appreciated him deeply.
