First time at this SC location…read more I was completely impressed with my entire experience. The store modern, big and bright, with the best merchandising I've seen in a long time. When I first walked in, I was greeted with a smile by a girl working at a welcoming station at the front. I asked where men's shoes were, and she showed me, but also informed me that a sales associate that was in our vicinity could help me. Perfect ! I knew exactly what I needed. I showed him the item on my phone, he looked up the product # on his handheld and off he went to get it for me. He quickly reappeared with box in hand! The shoes were exactly what I wanted and they were on sale for a really great price. I went to the cash area, where there were a few people in front of me. I didn't have to wait for more than a minute or two before it was my turn. The cashier was also smiling and friendly. She showed me how to maximize my points on the Triangle App, then I paid and was on my way. This was a really great shopping experience with customer service that goes above and beyond.

I'm here now where there's supposed to be big savings, but I still find the prices quite high so I'm not getting anything. The layout is very confusing to me. IIf I want a piece of equipment, I know where to find those sections, but the clothing is quite confusing. The service here is hit or miss. The people on the floor are usually very helpful. At checkout, though it really is hit or mess. I had one person who totally messed up in order as though she didn't know what she was doing, and I had to doublecheck and triple check to make sure there wasn't a mistake on my credit card. However, I've had other times where a more senior person has been very reasonable in rectifying problems with merchandise. It's not my favourite location for layout and I left thinking I'd rather shop online where it's easier to find what you're looking for and there's more organization. I do like how MEC is back in Canadian hands now. As of May 16, it will be under majority Canadian ownership.

I went to the store and saw their selection after buying a jersey from lids in Robson and Granville and it was interesting so I did a little comparison between the two and the one from Granville sports felt so cheap and are charging the same price as other stores. The new mamba jerseys are not stitched in the Swingman form and yet they had them here. Also, when questioning where the jerseys came from, he said they were from his supplier on the US and he has no idea on exactly where the jerseys come from. If you want legitimate NBA jerseys, this is dope me place to definitely avoid.

Shocked you're still in business. From the reviews, you can't use the pandemic as an excuse. You're just not a people person.

As we are both new to the sport, we had no idea what kind of bat, helmet shoes to get. We got the help we needed, paid and left. As soon as we got home, my daughter took the plastic wrap off the bat and put everything inside. Wife told me that the team provides bats, so we don't need one. Went back to the store, not even 30 min to return the bat and they tell me that I can't return it because the plastic wrapper is off. So now it's a used bat and they can't resell it. I had the receipt and bought it with 30 min, they said again "Sorry, the plastic wrapper is off, can't return it. " If you ever buy anything here, be sure it's perfect. Had no idea there was a no return policy for this place. I would advise to shop where they have a return policy.

Not any bargains that I could find, but the 2010 T-shirts here are tastefully designed and affordable(ish) at around $30-35. I even considered buying one for more than a minute. Considered. If you don't find what you're looking for (and actually looking through everything would take the better-part of an afternoon), do ask the helpful staff here. They're on your side.
