I had a flat tire and was told it would take at least 7 days to fix and maybe more because I had the service plan and to contact the company to cover the repair may take longer. A flat tire takes about 15 minutes to fix. Dicks is not the place to go for bike repair.

I'm window shopping and pass by a tee shirt that if I wore it I would have everyone cracking up…read more I grab one for me and my son and start looking throughout the store. Destination Florida carries tee shirts as well as woman's sun dresses, light sweatshirts, hoodies and hats. Don't forget the coffee mugs and other assorted tourist items. After looking around the store, I come to the counter with my tee shirts. There are two ladies at the register and I start up a friendly conversation. I ask about a military discount on my silly tee shirts and was told yes. I'm talking to, just a striking beautiful woman about Florida and New Jersey where she's from. I thank her for my discount and I'm on my way. Destination Florida should be one of the stores you stop in while shopping in Sarasota.

It's actually awful and I tried calling about it to speak to the owner about this behavior and you guys never got back to me so, I'm done coming back here!! The only place I don't recommend going to as a local on the island. they're known for their poor attitude here.

Brooks are my go to athletic shoe for cardio and the inserts make a huge difference for support too. Plenty of brands Hoka, On, Asics, etc. There are even clearance sales and full priced shoes. Plus the collection of feetures socks is A+! So, be aware- they offer a $30 annual "membership" that will offer you 10% discount in any of their stores on online. By the time, you spend close to $150+ for a pair of shoes, it may make sense!

My family and I were there at Ellenton outlet because our oldest wanted specific New Balance shoe…read more When we walked in we were kindly greeted by Vince. He was most helpful on trying to help us find the shoes my daughter wanted and for us to take advantage of the buy one get one 50% off sale. The shoe was not available in store but he let us know it can be ordered and delivered to our home. With the help of I believe his manager, Alyssa we were able to find my daughter two pairs of shoes to her liking. Vince and Alyssa went above and beyond and provided us with such a great shopping experience. We did not feel rushed, they both were nothing but accommodating to our needs. Thanks so much Vince and Alyssa for the great customer service! You both were awesome!

Seriously? That was painful. We came here looking for shoes for my son. We asked for help from one…read moreemployee who pointed to one wall for younger/kid shoes and then a row for bigger/adult shoes. My son is right between sizes, so we asked if they could size him so we had a better idea of what would work best. We were told that there were sizing tools at most benches and to ask for help if we needed it. Dude. That is what we are doing. He walked off before the shock wore off. We did find a tool, sized my son, then found another employee for shoes in his size. He pushed a few buttons on a handheld he had and told us they didn't have it in stock then started to walk away. We stopped him and asked for another shoe in his size. Again he pushed buttons on his handheld with the same answer. He again tried to walk away. So we then asked if any shoe on the table we were looking at came in his size. He rolled his eyes at us before pushing buttons on his handheld. Yup. Rolled. His. Eyes. My son needed new shoes so just looked at shoes instead of using my big girl words about that behavior. Anyway... He found a shoe in my son's size and luckily my son liked them. We boxed up the shoes and went to the counter in the shoe area where two different employees were talking to pay. Set the box down and said we wanted the shoes. They both look at us like we are crazy before one stated "well, you have to pay for them before leaving with them." Pretty sure my attitude came out when I responded with "that is why my wallet is out." With just as much snark, we were told we have to pay up front. The experience had my blood boiling. We were there maybe 25 minutes, but it took almost twice as long for me to calm down. So if you come here, hopefully you have a better experience than we did. 29.01.2026

Terrible Experience! I ordered a specialized Italian knife…read moreset that their web site advertised as being available. I paid close to $700 back in May 2016 and never heard a thing after numerous emails and phone messages left. Finally on 7/11/2016 I reached someone only to be told that not all the pieces were available but some might be. I then had to call again on 7/13/2016 to be told that they had no idea what was available and nothing was being done....so in my frustration I cancelled the order and was told I would get a refund. It is 7/30/2016, over 2 weeks and NO REFUND. I have initiated a charge back from my credit card company. This level of incompetence is UNREAL. This place knows my phone number and my email address but chose to NEVER contact me about their inability to fulfill the order. Today the exact same knife set is STILL ADVERTISED as available on their web site. Pathetically run business and in my mind, completely untrustworthy. How can it take TWO MONTHS to get back to me?? I wasn't in Afghanistan! I had to exert the effort investigate this and force the refund I was promised. This knife set was sentimental in nature and I WASTED 2 MONTHS with this merchant when I COULD HAVE FOUND THEM ELSEWHERE. As it stands not the items are being discontinued and are NOW even harder to find after waiting over 2 months! Thanks for your incompetence and horrible communication!!!!! NEVER PATRONIZE THIS PLACE!
