Extremely disappointed in Dick's Sporting Goods and how this situation was handled…read more My 85-year-old grandmother purchased a pair of CALIA pants and tank top end of September as a Christmas gift after being explicitly told by a sales associate that the item could be returned through the end of January due to the holidays. She relied on that information when making the purchase and, frankly, was taken advantage of due to her age and good faith. When I attempted to exchange the item after Christmas -- brand new with tags and accompanied by a gift receipt -- I was told it was ineligible because it was 102 days since purchase, exceeding the 90-day policy by just 12 days. The store stated there was "nothing they could do." I went in store, used live chat, and escalated via phone, yet no one was willing to help -- not even by offering store credit or a gift card. I was never seeking a refund to the original form of payment. It is unacceptable that Dick's chose to rigidly enforce policy while refusing to stand behind what their own employee told an elderly customer. A 12-day difference should not outweigh basic customer service, especially for a holiday gift purchased in good faith. I am now left with a brand-new item I cannot use and a very poor impression of a company that claims to value its customers.

This Dick's Sporting Goods is in a great location situated inside of the mega complex that is…read moreNashville West. Given its location, parking is never an issue. I have visited this Dick's on multiple occasions for a variety of items from coolers to shoes, to sportswear and even just to walk around and waste time. All visits are pretty standard and I usually find what I need within a reasonable time. They stay well stocked at this location, this along with keeping the store clean, organized and in good condition makes it a decent spot to stop by. I will say the one thing that is inconsistent with this location is the customer service. On my most recent trips in, I have wandered the full store for over 15 minutes each and not once was I spoken to...even when I entered and left the store. And it was not because the lack of staff. They were there, just not interested in assisting I assume. Overall, if they can get their service in line, it would easily be a 5 star shopping experience at this location.

It is said there four seasons of loneliness, but thankfully in our case with sports those seasons…read moreare endless and no better of a supplier for those needs than Sport Seasons. I was on the hunt for updated sandals and for whatever seemed an endless search on Google lead me to them. The ones I wanted were pretty much sold out everywhere and color me red flagged that this was the only place available. After doing my diligence I did see it was local to the Tennessee area and it did have a Yelp so that checked off boxes enough to make a purchase and although it ended up not working in the end for me I can say I'm a fan of theirs based on experience alone. As I mentioned above I placed an order for two pairs of Nike sandals and I was floored to see in about 3 days my order was already arriving to California. I know delivery issues has been a million dollar situation with the pandemic so I was happy to see at least one transaction go right. The items ended up being unfortunately too small which bummed me out big time and I was dreading the task of doing a return from 3000+ miles away, but I must say the staff here is superb. I ended up talking to Paige (well the wife to coin her credit) and she thoroughly explained the return process and since I was dumb enough to toss out the boxes prior to wearing them I ended up paying a slight fee for the return processing, but hey it's better than keeping the sandals as a swell paperweight. Beyond that all staff that were interacted with were top notch and down to earth. You'd say a true depiction of what the South can truly offer and that is something you rarely see on the West Coast. I do admit the crediting back to my card took a bit longer than anticipated, but if that's the only nitpick I have then at least that speaks volumes to the experience. All in all I am a fan and I have actually gone back to check out the other items they have and deep down I know this is not my final purchase here. A+ all around and certainly not a twist of the arm to shop here at all. Kudos!

Several employees were watching us the entire time. I asked to try on one t-shirt in the fitting room and I guess this raised there suspicions of us even more because once I walked to the register there was a security guard waiting. I felt the energy from the employees and once I pulled out my wallet to pay at the counter the employee looked very flustered. I would never recommend this store because they STEREOTYPE CUSTOMERS. Unacceptable.

This Academy Sports sits near the intersection of Mallory and Nichol Mill, not far from Cool…read moreSprings Galleria, and is your standard Academy location for the most part. My office is not too far from here, so when I am after something specific, in my most recent case, a weighted vest, I swing by this location. Of course, even though I am after something specific, I always browse their gym clothes and shoe wall. The store is well lit, well kept and clean. Service is standard. I am acknowledged on the floor and the cashiers are friendly and helpful when needed. Overall, while I did not find the type of vest I was after, I enjoy this location for what it is, and surely will be back when the need arises again!

Unfortunately, I have been unable to send the requested documentation because the Comenity Bank website is not allowing me to submit a message; I have attempted multiple times, but the system appears to be malfunctioning. This situation has caused significant inconvenience. Although I made my payment on time, I am now being charged late fees and additional penalties. I will be canceling my credit card account.

Good luck with that because all we found were small and medium. Have you not noticed the plethora of tall, athletic women in Williamson County? Note, Bombas socks are not with the socks near the shoe section because they find the need to have two sock sections. She also found an unusually low stock of leggings (compared to other Dick's) outside of the Calia brand that she doesn't prefer. Again, see comments about athletic females in this county. On the bright side, they're definitely keeping up with the Williamson County lacrosse craze and offer a tremendous variety of equipment in all popular sports for young people (except maybe ice hockey). So at least somebody there is paying attention to what they're selling.

As with most Dick's, they have a solid selection of sportswear and you can usually get a solid deal on good quality athletic and athleisure wear. My only gripe with this location is the service, or lack thereof. On my last two trips in I was looking for something specific and needed assistance locating. Finding an associate that wasn't on the registers was nearly impossible, and when I did spot one, they seemed to scatter when they felt I was going to approach with a question. On both trips, I ultimately just looked, didn't find and left. And oddly on my way out, both cashiers who were not assisting other customers didn't even interact. The store is kept in good condition and is clean on each visit. Always stocked well and easy to navigate. Overall, not the best Dick's experiences.

The old house is a good start, but the friendly, welcoming and super helpful staff and ownership are true to the area. As a novice runner, I was a little nervous to swing by, but they were beyond welcoming and helpful.

And honestly, even another customer got in on it and made a recommendation for some flip flops to help with an issue I was having. So, all around good folks here! NRC is a small space, but it is packed with all the goods from shoes, socks, hats, running gear, gels, etc...A solid selection of items at fair prices. Parking can seem tricky, but come around behind the building, head down the alley and park directly in the rear. Overall, absolutely love Nashville Running Company and will 100% be back...lots of times!

This location is just off Franklin Road and has a huge and convenient parking lot. Anytime I need a little help and don't have time to do the research myself, this is my #1 stop because I know they will steer me right.

I did not want a return I was willing to pay more and to pay for shipping and handling. I even offered to send the jackets to a friend if handling by mail was a problem. I would pay for all the shipping. I did not want to get money back, I would spend more. NO. She would not even get on the phone. What a blow to "Southern Hospitality", I will never step foot in such an asinine retailer ever again.
