Dick’s Sporting Goods

Very nice people work here. We were greeted at the door and someone was paged to assist us. He was very friendly and informative.
The cashier could have smiled instead of frowning the entire time but maybe she had a headache.

We were on the search for a new treadmill, starting off with Consumer Report ratings and working my way into various web sites to get specific model ratings. I then starting off at Amazon to get total prices (taxes, shipping, etc.), then using Google to search the NW ATL ‘burbs. We wanted a treadmill we could pick-​up locally if at all possible, that had a 4 out of 5 star rating and for under $ 1000; only reaching for the stars, right? After multiple store stops, even including Costco, we noticed Dick’s around the corner. We had never shopped at Dick’s and thought, why not check it out. If you’ve never been into one of their stores, you’re in for a treat. We were blown away by their store. Of course they had 6 or 7 treadmills lined up, a brand called SOLE but the question at hand was, «what was it going to cost us?» This is a nice store and it’s not nice because they discount everything. Anyway…
We went right into on-​line reviews, found the right treadmill for our needs (walking vice running), and priced them out. We were interested in the SOLE F60. The exact model unit on the floor was $ 200 over what we should really pay. We found an employee, a very cordial young man who was happy to be there. He explained they have a few discounts we could take advantage of, plus being a military member, he would stack the discounts. We ended up paying $ 160 less than the best Amazon price we could find and we could take it with us, nice (of course, we could have opted to have it delivered and set-​up too for a fee). If we opted for their credit card, we would have saved another $ 70 but we don’t need more plastic. The young man and one of his associates loaded the treadmill into our old faithful minivan, and we are now the proud owners of that new, discounted treadmill.
In closing, don’t allow the mega-​stores to stop you from going in. With research on demand with smartphones, we were pleasantly surprised how much we saved by taking that 1^st step (through their doors).

No plus sizes, none. Irks me to the 10^th degree. I don’t even expect an entire session but at least have a few items for the major labels (Nike, UA, etc.). I also didn’t find the other two items I needed for an upcoming trip. The trip here was a waste of gas.

They have way too many people working the floor. It’s weird. They walk around. What do they do?
I like the store. I am curious to see how the spread of Inder Armour-​branded stores will affect good olé Dick’s operation. They are huge on UA resales.

This location is very large and full of equipment for almost every sport. Went to get some softball gear for the upcoming season. Although there were plenty of employees nobody said hi or asked if I needed any help. The sales/​clearance rack don’t actually seem that great of a deal. HUGE selection of Adidas product which I love. I was able to get fair enough prices on my gloves, socks, and bat bag. They have a rewards program which pays off if you go there enough. Overall nothing that blew my mind but not terrible either.

I will first admit that I have not always been a fan of Dick’s Sporting Goods. I’m a frugal shopper and hunt bargains. The customer service at the Dick’s location on Barrett Pkwy is stellar. (Chick-​fil-​A employees could train here!) I haven’t had any issues, just doing the typical –k ids needs athletic shoes, baseballs, and most recently a pair of indoor soccer shoes for myself.
After two indoor soccer events with these shoes they haven’t felt right for my foot and I don’t really have the ball control I want while wearing them. I called Dick’s and the first person to answer the phone says she can help me. In less than 30 seconds I’m off the phone having been told to bring the shoes back for a refund. Wow! I mean what!!? That’s incredible. I won’t be refunding the shoes. Instead I’ll be upgrading to a nicer pair. Thank you, Dick’s customer service team.
Also, I failed to mention that on echo visit the staff has been extra helpful as I shopped. Not just bugging me, but actually going above and beyond to help me find what I’m looking for in my price range.

Had a pleasant experience here today. The prices on clays were great and they even matched walmarts prices on ammo, no questions asked. i just wish their prices on firearms were more competative.

Dicks has always been meh for me. Granted I have always been looking for some off brand sporting good. If your just looking for something simple that you can’t find at target or Kmart revolving around sports this is the place to go. Beyond that, I recommend a specialty store. Customer service has always been OK during the week during the day but go during prime business hours and it sucks.

Horrible customer service. After canceling many Troy orders in December, they have become even worse.
Stay far away from this entire company. They even treat their suppliers poorly.

The clearance section/​racks here rivals the prices of Kohls… Impressive. I like the layout of the store and the staff is friendly. I usually find something here even when I am not really looking for anything. Seriously seek out those discount racks you will probably be surprised with the selection of good deals.

I purchased a pair of shoes over a year ago and This was the fourth time I swapped shoes out due to the fact that the shoes would either fall apart or they would hurt my toes. I never received any kind of service the past three times I always had to track someone down for help and the knowledge of the employees was average at best until today. I went in today and spoke with someone at the front desk and told them about the shoes. They assigned me to a woman named Cassy. Cassy right away started to ask me why I wanted the shoes and other questions that could give her an idea on how to help me. She took the time and showed me the difference in the type of shoes I was wearing that hurt my feet badly to the new ones she recommended. She didn’t show me 10 different shoes and didn’t make things complicated at all. She showed me three different shoes that were geared to what I wanted and then asked me which one I liked the best and then help me check out. Cassy demonstrated true professionalism and made the experience better. When I left the store today I wasn’t thinking to myself I hope theses shoes will work I actually felt satisfied with the purchase.

Yes, it’s a chain but they really do have everything one could ever want. Their prices are a little on the high side, but they have all good, high quality brands and their deals are pretty darn good. I was able to get a softball bat, on clearance for $ 20 — it was regularly priced at like $ 80 – 100. In Atlanta, there isn’t a large number of independent or smaller scale sporting goods stores, but I’m a fan of this place for sure.

While normal sporting goods stores cater to men, I was impressed half the store was designated for everything from yoga, to weight lifting, jackets, socks and shoes. I got in to a fun back and forth banter with a guy selling shoes. «Why don’t you join the Peachtree running club?» He said. «Because I have nice boobs I paid a lot for.» End of conversation.
While I wandered through the racks, the climbing rock wall caught my attention. I know what you’re thinking, you obviously recognize me. Yes, I was the loud girl that got half way up the rock wall and screamed until someone came to rescue me. And yes, shamefully, I was the girl that threw up on her way down.
I bought a pair of running shoes just to make up for their clean up efforts but not to run in. I have a mean speed walk!

Good prices, selection, and staff!

Excellent selection, and always has the newest top of the line clothes and other goods. I wish they still had the climbing wall in the back, it was always fun to watch people climb, and fall of course.
They usually have the best selection of shoes, and Braves and Dawgs apparel.

I have to admit that I have resisted the urge to make Dick’s my goto sports shop because when I moved to Atlanta I was a big fan of Galyans and after the takeover the stores just didn’t seem to be as good.
I coming around however and I have to give props where props are due. Most of my purchases are in the soccer and fishing departments (theres a combo you don’t hear too often) and they always seem to have what I’m looking for. In fact the soccer cleat selection is starting to rival that of the small specialty shops.
Don’t forget to check the paper or online for coupons before you go. You can almost always find one.

I don’t do a lot of sports-​related stuff, but if I ever did, I would go to Dick’s to get my gear. This place is seriously overflowing with stuff. Two stories of everything from hunting to camping to basketball to jogging, men’s and women’s clothing, on and on and on. It’s almost so big that it takes forever to find what you want, especially if you’re like me and always dodge the salespeople who want to help direct you (and there are lots of them here).
The prices are a little higher than I’d expect (even the stuff on clearance seemed high) but they have everything you need all right in one place, so if money’s not too much of an object, you can knock it out at once.
I’ve never been to other locations of Dick’s but this one is absolutely overflowing. And being located right in the heart of Kennesaw on probably the busiest piece of commercial property around, you’re going to be stuck in traffic if you come out, no matter what time of day.
