I've been coming here since this location opened years & years ago and this past year or so... service has changed. The staff isn't as friendly, they seem annoyed when you ask for help and when you do need assistance, *most* of them are no where to be seen. The selection also has gone downhill since they're always out of stock in certain sizes and I wait a couple weeks and still, no new inventory. The value is quite pricey for most things. I don't but certain brands from here since I know I can get the same thing at the outlets. I use to shop here more often but not as much now... it's just so different. Plenty of parking in the lot though so no issues there.

We requested an exchange, not a full refund without reason. Manager Barbara refused the return and was very rigid about the policy, despite the item being purchased less than 24 hours earlier. The interaction felt dismissive and not customer-friendly at all. Very disappointing experience compared to the level of service I expect from DICK'S Sporting Goods.

I decided to give this place a 2nd shot since the first time we went I caught them when they were…read morebusy and I was short on time so I got the wrong impression they were not interested in devoting time to help out novices. My son and I are novice fisherman taking a trip to Northern Tier with our scout troop to fish the boundary waters on the Minnesota / Canada border for Bass and Walleye for a week. Went into the store with my son and asked for a lot of basic advice on what the minimum setup was to have success since we are limited on what gear we can bring. The staff was really helpful going over basic lures and how they are supposed to be rigged with some examples from behind the counter. I did not get the impression they were trying to oversell or sell stuff we did not need. If they were not sure about an answer (for example the first guy we talked with was more familiar with salt vs. freshwater fishing) he did not try to fake an answer and directed me to other staff who were more knowledgable. So if you are beginning or a novice this tackle shop is a good stop to get you setup vs. buying random stuff off amazon. I'll be recommending the place to the rest of my 6 man crew as well as other crews from my troop that will be going to Northern tier later in the year. My one piece of advice for the staff is to be more proactive in engaging customers to see if they have questions. I know it can be a balance between giving customer space and hovering over them like a car salesman but in general us beginner / novice fisherman can get easily overwhelmed with the different assortments of tackle and appreciate the advice. If you are a customer note the store vibe is more on the side of letting you browse freely and engaging only if you ask for help.

This lasted a few minutes until she went behind a door to continue her conversation for pretty much my entire time in store (over 40 minutes, and yes I could hear her laughing on the phone while I was walking out). There was only 2 other people in the store working, and maybe 3 other customers. The staff that were actually working were very helpful, and helped my wife find the shoe she was looking for. I wasen't going to write a review, but we came in on a separate visit trying to get a duffle, the Same Manager was actually on the sales floor (surprise) and we had asked her if she could bring us one down one so we could look at it. She was right next to them, and instead called a younger employee to grab it down with some big stick that was by the front door. Why were we made to wait??? Why couldn't you do it??? I've seen stores that were going out of business with more attentive management. I advise going to the other big 5's as this one has poor customer service starting from the top!
