We bought two different Glock 9mm pistols for conceal carry. They gave us special guidance to help my wife find a semi-automatic pistol that she could easily rack and fit her hand size well. They helped us navigate Illinois' onerous FOID requirements and had our guns waiting after the IL delay period. They also held back 9 mm ammo for also after there was a run on ammo with the covid pandemic and summer rioting to ensure we had ammo after buying the guns. I had previously tried to buy the guns at Gander Mountain and I waited over an hour for one person to wait on me who was not nearly as knowledgable and the prices were significantly higher at Gander Mountain even with the Sam's Club discount there. This is the only place I will buy guns and ammo in Southern Illinois.

Tried to return a pair of sweatpants clearly listed on the receipt at $29.97. They offered me 8 dollars in store credit or the option to leave with the sweatpants. They said that the sweatpants were only ringing in as an $8.00 purchase when they scanned the barcode, even though clearly listed on the receipt at $29.97. Store manager treated me very poorly and wasn't trying to resolve the situation at all. i would not recommend shopping at this location.

I brought my parka for the day but I feel like it's so big and bulky. I wanted a lighter option that was wind resistant. Beth helped me and just as I was asking ChatGBT how cold it would still keep me warm she asked me in person and she said 30 degrees which was inline with what chat said so whoohoo! It actually warmed up to 30 the day I got it while I wore my better sweater 1/4 zip and wow it made such a difference. No buyer's remorse, no ragrets, not even a letter. :)

We came here to compare prices for a hoop which we saw better elsewhere but overall, not bad.

I got the shoes, opened the REAX and they are worn, dirty and stained. There is white paint or something similar on the bottoms, on the side and top, there is what looks like splattered Cola or coffee. The laces are dirty and the inside of the shoe has fuzz and dirt. I IMMEDIATELY called the Manchester store and "Wayne" answered in the shoe department. He was 10,000% extremely unhelpful, rude and very off putting with his attitude. He blamed it on the delivery service I used, my response was they dont work for Academy, they are a delivery company. He then says well what do you want me to do about it? So I hung up and called to talk to a manager. The manager "James" was worse than the first guy, so apparently I was going to get no where with him either. So here I am, stuck with worn, dirty Nikes that I paid 100$ for! NEVER WILL I RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY NOR WILL I EVER SPEND ONE MORE CENT WITH THEM.....​​
