    The 1st time visiting Johnston's my 18yr old daughter was buying a helmet for her brother. Since he…read morecouldn't try the helmet on in the store to her knowledge (it was in a box) & because she was using her parents credit card she thoughtfully & kindly asked what the return policy was. The response back was a man rudely laughing at her and mocking her "Can it be returned?" in addition another man chimed in with a random item & also mocked her by saying "Can it be returned?" He finally answered imprudently. My daughter said nothing to the men knowing with their mentality a response would not have been received well. She simply bought the helmet as she was asked to do & made sure to express to us, her parents, the disrespectful actions & atmosphere. Come to find out the helmet did not fit it was to small. When my husband returned it approx. 2 weeks later he was met with the same negative vibe with no provocation. An older man starred at him in an ill-mannered way & when my husband asked if my son could be fitted for skates the staff did not explain why there was a fee to be fitted. We wanted to support this local small business as we know larger companies like Amazon & Dicks are hard to compete with yet when staff are rude & don't communicate explanations such as, " We would love to keep your business so if you buy skates here we are happy to fit you for free. If you would like to buy else were we understand yet to stay competitive we must charge a 25$ fee for the fitting". It gives customers the personal care they are looking for. I would have paid the 25$ fee for the individualized service had we known & been greeted with common courtesy. I will likely stop in to this shop to see if the third time is the charm. This review is meant to be constructive for this shop to make better choices to keep customers coming back. If you only want your regulars - well I hate to tell you hockey isn't like golf where people play into there's 70's & 80's so those repeat customers won't last as long. This is my 1st & hopefully last Yelp review. Things are hard these days & I'm not here to make it harder.

    Very friendly staff. I bought my first skates here and they fit me perfectly. Staff seems very…read moreknowledgeable, professional and helpful. They also do a fantastic job sharpening skates.

    DICK'S Sporting Goods - I like to think that's a great shot.

    This store is a smaller dicks store but it had more products then the small dicks stores I been…read moretoo. The place was clean and the display areas made it look full and they actually had decent products

    Bloomington-Normal doesn't have many sporting good stores. I personally don't know if any other…read morethan Dick's but I know that doesn't mean there aren't more. The few times I've shopped here, I walked out empty-handed almost every time. I mostly go there looking for things I can use at work. I carry a lot of stuff. I was able to find huge book bag for a decent price. It's made my work life so much easier. They only carry rifles so you'll have to go elsewhere if you want to purchase a handgun. I was hoping since they had rifles I might find a molle magazine holder for rifle magazines. I needed new tactical boots for work. A coworker told me how comfortable the Under Armor boots are. I checked out Dick's for them. They carry one set of Under Armor boots but only had 6 inches. I'm required to wear 8 inches. The worst part of the store is exiting if you didn't buy anything. You still have to navigate through the checkout lane area. If the checkout lane is busy then it's not an easy exit. I tried the entrance doors to see if they'd register me standing there but it didn't work. Luckily someone was coming in so I walked back out the front door. It's a minor inconvenience clearly but still noteworthy.
