I have not been to Academy sports before, but I found it to be very well lit and easy to navigate and well organized. I was greeted upon walking in, and they pointed me in the right direction. When I needed help finding specific pants, Mike who works in that department was very helpful. He even saved me money by reminding me to order it online if I had time to wait for it. I'm very glad we have a sports store nearby now. Thanks again, Mike for your excellent service!!

They put the higher priced items on the higher shelves and the price at the bottom is not for your item, but you won't know until after you've been waiting in line at the register and counting on people just to buy it anyways.

I walked into this store with my wife, my kid and 4 of his football teammates as we had just…read morefinished a game and needed some equipment. As soon as i walked in, we had a person who worked there start following us. I thought it was weird so i looked at other children come in with their parents and they were not followed. Difference? I had 2 African American kids with me. They even try to hide it is that sad part. Then my wife try to lighten the mood by saying "they aren't tired after 2 games wow" and the man literally said "it's the brown tissue"..... one of my kids threw a football and we got told to stop yet 5 minutes later a kid was bouncing his basketball and passing it with his friend and not one word. We left to the exercise equipment where we were once again obviously followed. Then we went to golf and i guess they saw we were on so they send someone else who very awkwardly stood infront of us just staring at us. Made us feel really uncomfortable. Then as we were going to pay, my boys were laughing and pushing alittle and one of workers screamed st them. I literally said out loud got all to hear "this is why boys can't be boys anymore and end up doing bad stuff". They all just looked at me and put their head down. Sad that racial profiling is still happening today! Also we called them and they try to hush us by giving us 300 points into my account. Changed need to be made and points won't do that!

I had a flat tire and was told it would take at least 7 days to fix and maybe more because I had the service plan and to contact the company to cover the repair may take longer. A flat tire takes about 15 minutes to fix. Dicks is not the place to go for bike repair.

This is a complaint and warning about Dick's Sporting Goods in Sarasota Florida. I was…read moreunfortunately misled into purchasing a product that is not legal in the league where I play and, when I returned it, would not be accepted for a refund or credit toward the purchase of a legal product. Just to get me out of the store, they suggested that I reach out to the manufacturer and ask them to facilitate the exchange. I was incredulous, of course, because one would never expect a manufacturer to facilitate the exchange of a product that was sold through either misguided or self-serving misrepresentation by one of its retailers. Indeed, I just heard back from the manufacturer who said that they will only exchange a bat with the defects. I am not even going to bother to take this back to Dick's because I know I would get upset and nobody wants to get upset about being ripped off when they're holding a baseball bat. The product I am referring to is a softball bat for the Senior League of Sarasota. When I explained what I needed and what league I was in, Dick's employee told me to buy a senior softball bat that is a certified 1.20. When I got to the first game in the league, I was told the bat needed to be a 1.21. When I returned to Dick's with proof of purchase and the bat in perfectly good shape (virtually unused) they would not issue a refund or credit. They said they would not do so because the wrapper had been removed and yet several bats were for sale on the rack without wrappers. The bat that I have is no use to me. I have since learned through an internet chat on the Dicks website that Dick's does not even carry the type of bat that I want, which certainly adds to the suspicion that the sale was made so the guy would get a commission or some kind of sales credit rather than send me empty handed to another store. I have been a long-time customer of Dick's and had even bought another product at the same time as I bought the bat. We often shopped for clothes. Now I'm going to give the brand new bat to Goodwill, spend $100 or more on the type bat that is legal for our league, and suffer the $89 loss that Dick's has foisted upon me. I had always Associated the retail chain with good customer service, a nice product selection, and a sufficient level of quality and service expertise, as well as product selection, that the higher prices are worth it. It goes without saying that I will never shop there again and I have spent the time, plus $89, to write this negative review and warning to you. If you trust them to give you informed service, to be accountable for their mistakes, and to stand behind you economically when you are counting on them, your trust is not well placed with Dick's Sporting Goods, at least not in Sarasota. Good luck with your sports shopping, Charles Reith
