Olympia Sports

This mall irks me. A lot.
Throughout this area, if I want to visit Olympia Sports I MUST go into a mall. Why is that!
Westgate and the SSP are the ONLY Olympia Sports locations in the South Shore, so when I’m in this area and need to visit Olympia Sports the light bulb in my head starts going off rapidly «CROWDS. NO PARKING. … CROWDS. NO PARKING.». My head is right. There is trouble getting into this store easily, especially if you aren’t in the mood to have to wait for parking, and have to go into the mall and find the store (especially if you haven’t shopped the mall often, and don’t know where EVERYTHING is.). Plus this location is on the upper level, resulting in the annoying and time consuming use of escalators. Ugh. If I didn’t ever need to, I wouldn’t come back and most likely won’t be. But I guess I should rate my ENTIRE rating on that, it should be about the ACTUAL store right? So the Braintree location is rather small, but carries an average and good amount of merchandise and I’ve always been able to find what I was looking for easily (for both of the 2 times I’ve been to the store). The store seems to be consistently staffed with a few employees, yet the store is much busier, making it much more difficult to receive «personalized» service, unlike in the Village Shoppes & Walpole Mall locations, heck, that IS the reason I’m patronizing Olympia more than other stores, like Sports Authority and Dick’s anyway!!!, hire more staff for the South Shore location!!! I guess the location could be convenient if you’re shopping in the mall and need something «sports» related, or are in the area, but otherwise don’t bother. This Olympia is average and doesn’t nearly compare to the other locations in the area, all being much better.
