Academy Sports + Outdoors

Overall, this store is fantastic for all your outdoor and sporting needs, and it's quickly become my go-to spot over competitors like Dick's. ​First off, the shopping experience is great. The layout of the products is super good—it's easy to navigate, everything is clearly labeled, and the aisles are wide. The store also feels really well lit and open, which makes browsing pleasant, not cramped. I've always been impressed with their stock availability; unlike some other places where things are hit-or-miss, Academy usually has what I need on hand. ​A huge bonus is the cheaper pricing. You just can't beat the value here compared to other major sporting goods stores. Plus, they offer drive-up pickup for online orders, which is incredibly convenient if you're in a rush and don't want to wander the store. ​The only downside—and it's a noticeable one—is the difficulty in getting assistance. It feels like store personnel are hard to spot, and when you need help finding a specific size or accessing locked items, you have to really search for an employee. If they could staff the floors better, this would easily be a five-star experience. ​Despite the staffing issue, the prices, availability, and convenience make this Academy a winner. Highly recommend stopping by!

I recently bought a Go-Trax e-bike from Academy and was having battery issues. The warranty company did not want to work with me, but the Manager Andrew from Academy Sports helped me immensely with the situation. I am back on the trails and enjoying every minute! Shout out Andrew!
