Dick’s Sporting Goods

This location is very big and always seems to be well staffed as well as has everything we need.

I’ve been up and down all the Dicks in WNY and this is my least favourite Dick that I’ve experienced.
The reason why is simply that it is often sold out of stuff because it seems to be busier than the other two, being part of the Galleria. Also they seem to have a «Mall Premium» and are more expensive for some things than the one on Transit. But then again so is the one in Amherst.
The service here has always been fine, but it’s just not a Dick’s that ever gets me hooked up with what I need. However a lot of the Mall stores are overpriced and overrated so I’m not going to diss Dicks further by giving them a 1.
I do prefer the other kind, though. If you know what I mean.

Dick’s has every name brand item to fit your sporting needs. It comes with a price though, a fairly large one. If you aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on sporting equipment or apparel, then I suggest you shop elsewhere. I was going skiing one afternoon and needed to purchase some clothing since my usual gear was locked up in my sister’s apartment. (Not important, point is, I needed ski apparel just to get me through the day) I needed a myriad of things; goggles, ski leggings, snow pants, gloves, ski jacket, under armour and warm socks. It wasn’t possible to find a ski jacket under $ 120, nor was it possible to find snow pants under $ 110. I was super surprised. The ski leggings I purchased were $ 80, and those were cheap compared to the other styles I saw. They had a sale rack, but the racks were filled with summer clothes. Their selection of women’s ski jackets were minimal too. I wish they had a section for off brand apparel.
There are two floors to this Dick’s and the women assisting me or should I say her attempt to assist me was very cold. I asked her to point out the dressing room and her first response was, «Oh, you’re not bringing all of those things in there.» So inviting, so warm, so friendly. If I wasn’t in dire need of ski clothes I probably would have just walked out. She brought me to the dressing room after looking me up and down with such a judgmental stare. It made me feel extremely uncomfortable. You can only bring 6 things into the dressing room at a time, completely fair! She disappeared immediately after opening the door for me and i was glad that she did. Finally, I made it down to the cashier and my total came to $ 520 for the cheapest selections I could find. I subtly (okay maybe not so subtly) inquired with the cashier to see if he had any coupons considering I was a Dick’s Rewards Member, and well, just dropped mad money here. He said nope and I swiped my card. After swiping, he realized he forgot to ring me up for my goggles. He apologized and said he would give me 25% off the goggles. Oh, so you do have a coupon? I was very thankful for this and I watched him type in a discount of 10% off. What? You just said 25%, but you really put in 10%. That bothered me. Don’t lie to me MAN.
Unfortunately they were also all sold out of women’s snow boots when I came in. Ultimately, the quality of everything I purchased was great. You really are getting what you pay for, but there are just other stores that offer quality clothes for a much cheaper price.

Huge sporting goods store. 2 levels. Bottom has the equipment like weights and treadmills. And football helmets. Dart boards. And of course clothing and footwear. Upstairs has ladies clothing and bikes. And cold weather gear. And hunting outfits. And fishing poles.
I don’t see much rhyme or reason to the layout but it’s probably determined by an expensive marketing team to generate the most possible revenue.
They sell fitbits here and if you already have one you may hit you steps walking here looking for whatever you went in for. This store is large and while it probably does have what you want, you may run out of time looking for it.
Mall hours and parking.
3 stars, but its a 3– to me, non-​intuitive layout.

Yes — I’ve always liked browsing through this chain — no matter where I am and this location was no different. They seem to carry a large selection of merchandise and the prices vary as much! The sales are incredible, but once again — Clearance issues always tick me off.
The staff seem nice enough, but I normally have the opposite problem here — instead of pushy sales people — I always have to go looking for someone, but I still enjoy the «shop» here!

They are centrally located right by a parking lot which is great if you don’t want to feel like you are at a mall. They have a wide variety of sporting goods, accessories & clothing. The staff is alwayss helpful. Prices are decent and they do have a rewards program as well

okay they always seem to have what I am looking for but the hurdles you have to go through to get into a fitting room and the weird attitudes at the checkout register make it one of my last choices.
