Dick’s Sporting Goods

Limited selection of overpriced stuff. No culture of wanting to help the customer (ie look at long lines and let ‘em wait)!

Great selection. Expensive but better prices than Sports Authority. Always understaffed though, never enough cashiers and very difficult to find workers around the store.

This is one of the finest sporting good stores you could shop. It is located in the new strip mall which is a perfect location. The store associates are friendly and knowledgeable about the product. The aisles were clean as well as the fitting rooms.

Gigantic. Ridiculous selection. Friendly staff. Prices about what you would expect.
Not much else to say about this massive chain — if you need anything sports related (save for hunting), this is your one-​stop shop. I only stopped in out of necessity, looking for a winter running top the (late) evening before a race.
I’d rather shop a local specialty store for athletic needs, but in a pinch, DSG was A-​OK.

Been here a few times already. Alan was super helpful getting my bow set up for hunting. I also bought a new glove for softball here.

this is directed to the people at the 1 – 800 number.
huge help. very nice. excellent work. go Lucas!

The new Dick’s location is clean, big & bright — so much nicer than the Dunham’s we stopped at last week.
Pluses:
+So many times in sporting goods stores, the ladies are an afterthought. Not here — there was just as much apparel for women as there was for men. Everything is laid out & displayed nicely. If you care what you look like when you’re at the gym (I do not!), you’ll be in heaven here.
+Good selection of bike & tennis supplies for the Mister
+Really helpful staff — we were probably checked on 10 times by different people. Now, I know they just opened & some of that will likely wear off but first impressions count.
+Huge selection — they seem to have something for just about every sport out there
Minuses:
–Prices are about the same as you’ll find elsewhere
–In some cases, items are segregated by brand (North Face) vs. men/​women so it can be a little confusing to find what you want
Overall, I really liked this store — and I’d like credit for refraining from all of the dick & ball jokes I was sorely tempted to use in this review.
