Modell’s Sporting Goods

Over priced, poor service, poor selections (no shoes for example). No idea how this store makes a profit.

I really like this store having purchased many a item here. When I needed Yankees gear they have a wide selection but now I dont even wear that stuff being ashamed of my local sport teams ugghhhh!!!
The store is quite spacious and I love the selection of kicks. But I am always trying to find those tube socks that arent short… that really grinds my gears when they fall around the ankle.
Never had to return an item from here and that is saying a lot for being a male shopper.

Utterly incompetent.
Had to call 4 times to get a VERY basic question answered–
«Do you carry golf tees?»
Every time I was left on hold for nearly 10 minutes, and once transferred to footwear, who, of course, put me back on hold because it wasn’t their department. Finally called a 4^th time and had my question answered instantly by someone who told me they don’t carry anything related to golf, which, if that is the case, is basic knowledge that every employee should know.
Obviously the people working here are untrained and couldn’t care less about doing their job. This must be the last place in the city that would hire them because the management clearly doesn’t value customer service or helpful/​knowledgable employees.
Shop elsewhere.

This one’s a grower, not a shower. I must’ve walked by this Modell’s a thousand times, and I never realized that there are four levels worth of sporting goods up in here.
Unfortunately, there’s probably only about two levels worth of sporting goods staff to help you out. On the third floor, there was actually a woman wandering around yelling, «Anyone?! Anyone that works here?!»
But they do have tons of stuff you might need, including shoes, apparel, and all kinds of equipment. Personally, I needed a pump* and they had a satisfactory version. I wouldn’t go in expecting any miracles, but if you need a basketball, some shorts, a pair of running shoes or a neon tank top, they’ve got you covered.

Though the service here is practically non-​existent, the stock of sports and active wear is definitely the best in all of Downtown BK. They thankfully have regular sales and their hours can accommodate the early riser and late comer. Find what you need and bounce, sports pun not intended.

Eh not really much of a selection for what I was looking for (a women’s Mets shirt, don’t judge). Also the dressing room was a bit grimey. This place looks pretty tired, but I guess it’s an option for sporting goods in the area and it is pretty close to everything. They did open a newer one a few blocks down so I am not sure why this one is staying open.

I just realized there is a larger, fully stocked Modells 2 blocks from this Modells. It makes more sense now why they don’t carry as many items.

This store is crowded and dark. It needs a serious upgrade it looks the same as it did when I was in High School. The prices are overpriced and the items are not worth it.

Modell’s Sporting Goods is a good store if you want to buy some gym clothes (yoga pants, leggings, bras), sports related things (tennis racket, ice skates, rollerblades), and also weights. I see random stuff like thermals, sneakers, fishing poles, and ice skates. There are associates ready to help you and also it is neatly organized for the most part. They accept credit cards and also have a point system if you sign up for their Modell’s card. The line was not lengthy when I was on it. There were two workers at the front desk cashiers assisting customers, so there was no wait.

Modell’s has solid deals on sporting goods. I picked up a tennis racket for $ 20 and a can of Wilson balls for $ 2. I’m new to the sport, so very pleased with the pricing.
Downside is they don’t carry a lot of brands. Lots of Nike here, but no New Balance, and no non-​Nike choices for well made flip flops (I’m thinking Teva and Reef).
A solid sporting goods store, but not a true outdoor store. Still fits the bill for a lot of my purposes.

I’ve only been here twice, one was at 9am and the other at 7pm. Both times it took longer than i would have liked for my transaction to finish.
The first time i gave a $ 100 bill and the gent at the register had to «go to the back» to get change. He obviously was checking out the bill somewhere to make sure it was legit, he even went to a manager to ask what to do.
Other than that the place is pretty huge with one of the widest selections of any Modells i’ve been to.
Every Modells store in Brooklyn now has a big selection of Brooklyn Nets merchandise right up front which is pretty amazing for this lifelong Nets fan!
Shop here with the thought that you might be in there a little longer than you would want, otherwise all is good.

This Modell’s is one of the worst in Brooklyn. No Customer service, the male employees chilling, discussing how many girls they bagged from a previous night of debauchary. Their selection is pretty small compared to other Modells that I’ve been to. And one last thing, the day that I went, the thermostat was set to Saharan desert level. In other words is was extremely hot to point of suffacation, am not kidding. This Modell’s is not worth your time or your money.

The Fulton Mall is vast and wide. There are SO many shoe stores. Even the non-​shoe stores are really just shoe stores. Which is pretty awesome. This Modell’s is fairly new, since 2008 when I got to the neighborhood. It’s pretty large, and has a tower of those Shake It dumbbell shaped things that when used makes you look like you’re giving a handy to the air.
This is baseline sporting goods; lots of affordable running sneakers ranging from 30 to 90 bucks or thereabouts, tons of t-​shirts, sports shorts, and a whole mess o’ Yankees caps. Mo’s knows what the priorities are.
I’m sorry I’m getting distracted. I’m watching 30 Rock right now and am L-O-thefuck-L’ing.

Anywho, I just bought a pair of Nike running sneakers. And it wasn’t a mad house. Which is weird; such a nice store right in the middle of the mall you’d think it would be more populated with patrons of the goods.

Modell’s, you will always be there on a Sunday morning when I need you most, which is rare but completely necessary because where else can I be super-​casual?
The Shake It thing is pretty awesome.
