This Academy Sports sits near the intersection of Mallory and Nichol Mill, not far from Cool…read moreSprings Galleria, and is your standard Academy location for the most part. My office is not too far from here, so when I am after something specific, in my most recent case, a weighted vest, I swing by this location. Of course, even though I am after something specific, I always browse their gym clothes and shoe wall. The store is well lit, well kept and clean. Service is standard. I am acknowledged on the floor and the cashiers are friendly and helpful when needed. Overall, while I did not find the type of vest I was after, I enjoy this location for what it is, and surely will be back when the need arises again!

We signed up our six year old for softball, but we had no gear. I decided to check this place out,…read moreand they had everything we needed. There is a lot in there! When I walked in with my four kids (6,4,3 10mo.), we were kindly greeted. I asked where the softball things were, and the young man helped me find the area quickly. We spent some time looking at the many options, and found practically everything we thought we needed: bat, mitt, batting helmet, pants, ball, fielding mask, bat bag. They had lots of cleats too, but we already had some at home. When we went to check out, the man kindly told us we had picked out a t-ball bat, and he went with us to help find a softball bat that would work for my daughter. I appreciated that help in finding what would work well for her. Thank you! I would go here again if we pick up any other sports along the journey.

Excellent selection fair prices. Very helpful staff to help you find what you're looking for.read more

Great place to get a kids' bike if you're looking for something more upscale. I came here after…read moretrying out the new ownership at Franklin Bicycles which was terrible. I called and talked to Luke on the phone and described what my 11-year-old daughter was looking for in a bike - I had a make and model in mind. They didn't carry that specific one, but he spent 15+ minutes looking online and making suggestions of similar options. We decided on one (a Haro) and even though it was above what I was looking to spend, the customer service on a cold call from someone random was top-notch. They even went out of their way to special order a white basket for the front of the bike and mounted it. My daughter has been riding it every day since we got it. Their bike tech Stephen was great on the phone when I described what she wanted in a basket. It's not cheap, but it's not outrageous, and the customer service I experienced was on another level. If you're looking for something that will last your kids many years, I highly recommend coming here.

BE AWARE before making a purchase at this store. If for whatever reason you need to return the…read moreitem(s), you cannot get a refund, they refuse to give you your money back. They only give store credit or exchanges. They don't tell you that when you're making the purchase, nor does the receipt state this policy. When returning merchandise they point to a piece of paper taped to the counter that states the policy. They are extremely RUDE about it, in fact the guy I dealt with was an absolute ass about. Bottom line, they're going to keep your hard earned money and force you to get something else or use the credit later. Who does that in this day and age. Apparently they need the money much more than they want Good will towards their customers! Think twice before making a purchase here.

The people at Blue Ridge really know their stuff. I don't claim to be a big outdoorsy type or a…read morehuge hiker, but you don't have to be to go here. They first introduced me to a winter obsession of mine - Smartwool socks. If you've never worn them, they are so wonderful and warm and addictive. They are meant for hiking, and that's what I originally bought them for, but I wear them all the time in winter now. The people at Blue Ridge will find you just what you need for your level of outdoorsiness. They are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Hate it. I've shopped at Blue Ridge stores in Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, Williamsburg,…read moreRichmond, Wintergreen and the one that used to be in Cool Springs, and this is the worst of them all hands down. I've never had staff help here that seemed anything other than them trying to make a sale. I went there today with a pair of Vasque boots whose sole cushioning had dry rotted after 3 years. The manager said there was nothing that Vasque would do, and recommended a cobbler on the West Coast who would repair them for $60. Instead I took the boots to Cumberland Transit, and 15 minutes after I had walked out of BRMS, Cumberland said no problem. All I had to do was pay $10 shipping to have them sent back to Vasque to get new soles. It also ticked me off that the lady at BRMS repeatedly said the soles had delaminated, when in fact they had dry-rotted, something I had to point out to her multiple times. In short, this is the worst BRMS store I have ever been in, and one of the worst outdoor stores in the Nashville area, which is consistent with the reviews I have heard from other outdoor buffs. I guess they stay in business catering to the Belle Meade label conscious crowd.

There was no greeting, no how can we help you, no what are your looking for today, absolutely nothing. I walked to the back of the store where clearance was which happens to take right by the registers and still nothing. Took my business right out of the store.

Terrible return policy and service. I walked in to return shoes that hurt my daughter's feet and…read morewas rudely told to "wait a minute". Not a hello or how can we help?. They told me that because it was past 30 days since I had purchased the shoes that I couldn't return them (it was 45 days). So I said I'll take a store credit instead. Then they told me they couldn't do that either because the shoes were dirty. I was told that they needed to "be in pristine condition to return them." However, she had only worn them inside their store for 20 minutes while trying them on. So apparently you can't try on any shoes there because the store is dirty enough to make them used and void any possible return. Don't buy anything here. The sales team isn't train well enough to help you find shoes that will fit, everything is overpriced and the return policy is horrendous. Safe yourself the time, money, and frustration by never stepping foot in this store. I know I will.
