Lids Locker Room

Love this place have been coming for years. I now order my hats online and pick them up from this location which is convienantly located in Westshore mall. Why 2 stars, I went to pick up a hat I ordered online, which they called me to come pick up. Anyways I ended up having a horrible customer experience. I guess the girl her name was Brie, didn’t remember placing a call to me and informed me it was probably the other store. I informed I always receive my packages here, I showed her number and played message. She went and looked in the back and was sure I didn’t order from them, informed her that I was called from the store member an hour ago she made calls early that morning. From that point she was super short and rude. I’m sorry you don’t remember calling but obviously you did as I played the message you left an hour ago. Love that place, as I’m a huge sport fans and they always have a huge collection of apparel and hats. Would leave one star but I love their merchandise but their a lot of stores I can chose from so please work on your customer service as people will go to other stores if they have to deal with rude associates!

Lids Locker Room locations were previously known as Sports Fan-​Attic throughout the Tampa Bay Area.
A number of years ago, the Durda family which owned and operated all the Sports Fan-​Attics since around 1990 got an offer they couldn’t refuse and sold their stores to Lids.
Fortunately, Lids retained at least one member of the Durda family as part of the deal AND did not make major changes to the winning Sports Fan-​Attic concept.
Sports Fan-​Attic was always the only true place for people in the Tampa Bay Area to go when looking for the widest selection of sports team apparel and merchandise.
Why? Because they actually stocked items from a wide variety of teams in all major sports, pro and college, and did not only cater to fans looking for Bucs, Rays, Lightning, Bulls, Gators and Seminoles gear. (I’m sorry… does USF still even have an athletic program?)
The Durda family was so smart in creating a store that not appealed to locals only looking to support the home team, but carrying NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA merch of virtually all teams. This certainly appealed to me as well as a significant percentage of locals who have favorite teams located in other cities AND it didn’t hurt attracting visitors from those other cities here on vacation when they walk the malls.
And Sports Fan-​Attic/​Lids Locker Room did not just have your basic t-​shirts, jerseys and hats. The overall variety of those items as well as the tremendous selection of accessories and childrens sizes of apparel has always been unmatched anywhere else.
While I miss seeing members of the Durda family working inside the stores like this one, I know the family did what was right for them after a long run of owning the business.
The name isn’t the same on the marquee, but there still is not a better selection of teams and merchandise to be found anywhere in a local retail environment.
By the way, my most recent browse found quite an assortment of local team jerseys and shirts available on the discount rack right inside the front doors. Honestly, just about every Rays name you knew last season is there for at least 50% off except Longoria. Personally, I’m just thrilled I no longer have to listen to Zobrist’s wife’s «music» when attending games.
