Dick’s Sporting Goods

Everyone that works there was super helpful and the prices were great. I found a really nice water bottle and some camping gear for my pops and walked out only spending $ 40 so that’s a plus. The bikes looked nice and were decent prices for beginner bikes. The guy in charge of that department was really knowledgeable and made us feel like this would be the right place for us to make this purchase when the time comes.

Looking for wool hiking/​trekking socks. Walk through shoe area in the back of the store but can’t see anything but ankle high running socks (a good selection of sizes, colors and styles). Approach the team member working this area and tell him I’m looking for wool over the calf hiking socks. Follow him throughout the shoe section (same area he had to have seen me walking through already) and he says «They moved them on me. «So he makes a call to someone else and after talking to them directs me to an end cap of socks and says, «We don’t have very many wool ankle socks.» I reminded him I’m looking for Calf Socks and he tells me this is it.
Heading to REI.

Dick’s is a great place to find sporting good equipment, shoes, and activewear. I like to shop here when I’m in the market for a Mavs, Stars, or Cowboys shirt. Pretty good deals for these during the off-​season! I also like to browse through their UA, Nike, adidas inventory when I need new stuff for the gym. The store is very organized & I can always find something that I like!

This is a nice store. They have everything you could need for workout, fishing, camping, etc. The store it laid out nicely without an overly cluttered look. The employees are a bit green but very friendly and always do their best to help. Parking is never a problem as there’s a giant parking lot right out front.

I was in the market for a new bike, actually my first real bike in adulthood, and I had already visited numerous bike shops. I’m no bike snob and for my needs, the bikes at those other stores were way out of my price range. I had also checked big box stores only to find that the bikes were dusty, squeaky, and there weren’t any real experts on hand.
I stopped by Dick’s and found that they had plenty of bikes in my price range (also some that were out of my price range) and for my needs. They also had helpful people who knew a lot about bikes. They helped me find the right size and the right type of bike. They even inspect the bike before you leave and give you a buyer’s checklist. Additionally, I asked if they had any coupons going on and they gave me 20% off! So not only did I get a better brand of bike for the same price as I would have paid at Walmart or Target, I also got great service and a bike that I know is right for me. Since I saved 20% on the bike, I used my savings toward a warranty. It covers a tube replacement, a tune up, and certain repairs.
I took my bike on a 20 mile ride a few hours after purchasing and it worked just perfectly. If you want a bike that’s a reasonable price, I would recommend going to Dick’s Sporting Goods!

If you need the gear, you can find it here. Selection isn’t really big compared to other Dick’s. Usually they have promos going on so you can save a little. Not a whole lot of staff makes for a nice quite, bothersome experience. Unless its time to purchase. That’s when it can be an issue, especially when there is a line. I don’t think they even care that you came in. Oh-​well.

Dicks is ok. It is really just the malling of America. You are going to get good prices which is really nice, but if you have a question between this and that, good luck finding anyone with a clue as to which is better or what the pros and cons are.
It is also not the place for the high end specialty goods in any sport. If you are really in to cycling than go to Richardson Bike Mart, if you are really into golf, than go to a golf shop, if you are into skiing than go to one of the CD Ski places, but if you are just needing to buy your kid a cheap baseball glove, then you found your place.

Overall, I have no complaints about this place, but it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. I mainly shop in the women’s clothing & swim section, so I cannot speak as to the other departments. I came in trying to replace my old, practically decayed swim suit that I’ve beat up in the lap pool over the last few years. Of course, a little browsing never hurt anyone, either.
I had to have an associate direct me to the swim area since they decided to move it on me. Sadly, there wasn’t a large selection for women. I really only saw three brands for adult females — Speedo, Nike, and TYR. Of those three brands, there were only a handful of styles available, very few color choices, and a limited size range in stock. I snagged a few to try on & made my way back to the workout clothing section to check out the sales. I will say the clearance racks and sales on name brand items were pretty impressive, but only a few things caught my attention. I was given a dressing room in no time and was left with my items. After much debate, I settled on a running shirt (on sale), but failed at my attempt to secure a new swim suit.
The store is always clean & quiet. I never manage to get in & out of the store without being greeted at least once & asked if I need help with anything about 3 – 4 times. Good for them on the customer service. Well, except for the cashier I had this time. She wasn’t rude, but certainly wasn’t friendly, and had no desire to talk to me out of telling me to swipe my card and giving me my reciept. Thankfully, the rest of her co-​workers saved the experience. I’ll recommend this place for browsing and whatnot, & I’m sure I’ll continue to frequent the sale racks when they’re available.

I got balls at Dick’s.
Ok, I know that’s crude but it’s true. I bought a 65 cm stability ball (big ball) and a little mini soccer ball (tiny ball). I actually needed both for the office and Dick’s is right around the corner.
I chose this location b/​c of convenience. I typically go to Academy but they were too far away. I knew what I needed was pretty standard so I took a chance on DSG. I was pleasantly surprised. As soon as I walked in there was young man on hand to greet me. I told him what I needed and he pointed me in the right direction. When I got to that area of the store there was another employee who quickly offered help. He then directed me to my next stop. Everyone was polite and efficient; right down to the cashier.
I spent a total of 10 minutes in the store but I know I’ll be back. Anyone who knows me knows I like shopping for sporting goods and health equipment. The store layout is simple and easy to get around and on this day; everyone was pleasant and eager to help. I realize I was there during the day on a weekday so they weren’t busy and things may be different on the weekend. I do know I’ve been to an Academy during the same time of day on a weekday and I couldn’t find anyone to help me. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t stop shopping Academy b/​c they’re near my home, but I think I just found a new retail retreat I can haunt during my lunch breaks.
