I was in a few times, looking at the many different models they have on the floor. Each time I was there, someone was there to help me, answer questions, etc. I ended up with a great kayak they even helped me load up. It was such a great experience, I went back and bought a new trailer. Thank you again for the great service , and if you are looking for anything to do with kayaking I suggest you stop here.

I went into Dick's because they have a great selection of shoes available to try on…read more At first, no sales person was in the shoe area. So I browsed and found some I'd like to try. The salesman miraculously appears and waits on a man who came in after me. Well, maybe he didn't see me. He finally gets to me and brings me several shoes to try and then totally disappears. I needed another size. Finally, another salesman comes by and gets me another size. Then he too doesn't come back to help me. I guess they are just shoe fetchers from the back room. I was hoping to buy shoes today and wouldn't have minded the $$$ prices for good shoes. Too bad for Dick's.

Pulled into curbside spot, very well signed by the way, and not only did the employee come out FAST but he saw my giant Lab hanging out the window and he brought him a dog biscuit! Very easy shopping experience and so fast and efficient. Other retailers offer curbside however the wait can be rather long (Sam's, I'm looking at you), but this was so quick. Highly recommend as far as shopping online and parking curbside.

It's a 45 minutes drive, so I won't do a store check for them. What company doesn't know if there store is open? All time worst response ever.

I literally was stereotyped and racially profiled by the two ladies who work in the store. I couldn't shop without being harassed as if i was just going to steal! Mind you, the couple (of caucasian descendants) was on the other side of me, yet they didn't bother them not ONCE! If i could give this place ZERO stars i would. It's literally unacceptable. I'd honestly like to speak with someone for a formal apology but i know that's not happening cause all they'll do is lie and twist the truth. Definitely would advise ALL people of color to at least think before spending your hard earned money here. Literally, this is your "heads up"!!
