I was happy to see that this new Dicks Warehouse opened in the old Field and Stream. Obviously,…read moreit's huge since the previous store was huge. There was a lot to look through. They have clothes for all ages, shoes, sporting goods, outdoor games, etc. There really is a lot. I came here on two different occasions. Once with my son where he picked up a nice pair of sneakers. On my second trip I came with my sister and daughter. I was looking forward to checking out the shoes for myself and was disappointed with how few shoes there were in my size. However, I did get a swim suit for my grandson for only 12 bucks. I also got him a 3 piece set with shorts and a shirt for a good price. I got some slipper socks for my granddaughter. My sister got a nice two piece workout set for her daughter and some other things for her grandsons. My daughter got some shorts for herself. Service was fine. Only one person working but they weren't busy. Great place to shop if you are looking for some bargains!

Excellent selection and price. Nothing is worth retail (i worked i. Retail), so go for less.read more

Oh and they carry all types of firearms.

Dick's Sporting Goods is a well-established chain and this particular location does a good job of…read morerepresenting the iconic brand. This particular location of Dick's Sporting Goods is located in nice wall with plenty of parking and an overall safe feeling. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and this was an overall very positive experience. I have been a fan of Dick's Sporting Goods for a few years now. I seem to use them more around the holidays as a resource for gifts and every time around christmas, I have to wonder allowed why I don't come in here more when it's not gift giving season. All in all, I would definitely recommend this particular location of Dick's Sporting Goods. It is in a great shopping plaza with plenty of parking, the store is attractive and well stocked and the staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. This adds up to a winning combination.

I need a new pair of hiking shoes and want to stick to Merrill shoes…read more My spouse looked up this store and said they had lots in stock. Ok. Off I go! Well, they do have some Merrell hiking shoes, but only 10 pairs of women's. I counted what was in the shelf. Exactly ten. They don't have any 6 1/2 so I tried in a 6 and a 7. I need a 6 1/2, so I sat on the bench and ordered a pair online from the Merrell store. Frankly, the amount of women's hiking shoes and socks was dismal. Weird thing happened when I was sitting there. An employee, a white male heavy set probably in his 30's was talking to another employee kind of loudly saying "It is always the white middle age women I'm telling you. Always!" I am not sure what that was about, but as a white senior woman, that didn't sit well with me I left the store. My review is not about the comment, but lack of inventory. But the comment bugs me.

Of all the Alabama Outdoors locations, I think this one may be the biggest. They've definitely got…read morea huge selection of clothing, shoes etc on the first floor when you walk in. What sets this one apart from the others I think is that they have a good selection of outdoor/camping/climbing etc equipment downstairs in another section. The people here are always helpful and knowledgeable about the things they're selling and can give you all the technical details on everything from a kayak to a winter coat. 2 things that I think are important to know, 1) park in the back of the store. This may seem obvious if you're driving by, but you can't see the parking lot from the highway. 2) shop their site online and you can browse the inventory from all their stores before you go in and make sure they've got what you need in stock. (There's also a great sort feature where you can check clearance items and find some really good deals). Overall this is just a nice, well stocked store with lots of quality items and a friendly knowlegable crew. 5 stars for sure.

I want to like this store because I strongly believe in supporting local businesses , but I just…read moredon't. First of all the inventory is so tiny. The women's clothing section consists of about 4 different styles. Nothing good ever goes on sale. The men's selection is a bit better but they are always out of size smalls and usually only have a lot of large sizes. Same issue with shoes. Heavy on on clouds and two choices each of other brands. Always out of common sizes. What usually ends up happening is I see something I like, then because of a better return policy at a competing retailer, or better price and colors I end up purchasing online. Also the sales people are too pushy and don't let me shop in peace. It's very annoying.
