Dick’s Sporting Goods

Dicks’s took over when th G. I Joes sporting good stores closed. It is basically the same store as the originally G. I Joes. The store is well maintained and very clean. The workers are friendly enough.
The prices are moderate to expensive though for all of the items. They do have a good selection of sports equipment and apparel. But again it is rather on the expensive side. I come here when I can’t find what I am looking for elsewhere.
I would recommend coming here as a last resort, you can find better deals elsewhere. The prices will give you sticker shock.

Golf selection is good but the golf professionals at Dick’s are even better. They are helpful and do a great job. I have all my club work done here and occasionally pick up a new addition to my golf bag. Go see Steve, he is a PGA pro and wish him luck in the senior open.

The store is clean and well lite and very pretty for a sporting goods store, but it really is more of a clothing store then a anything else. Most of the store is dedicated to clothing that you would sport in, and then sometimes the selection is not that good. We looked at the competition style swimsuits, winter being the season for swim team, and there was a pathetic number on the racks with only a few sizes available. Now if I was a hunter, there was a huge selection of camo gear to wear, but it was expensive. We needed backpacking gear, getting ready for the spring, and the selection was limited and expensive.
I have found that you can walk around the store and never even see an employee until you check out. And if you do see someone, they appear to not be very interest in assisting you in any way. This is crazy when you may be the only customer in the store.
So Joes was in the retail spot before Dicks, and they didn’t make it, I not sure Dick’s will survive either.

Dick Nixon was my Commander and Chief so «Dick» is a pejorative on so many levels that I can’t imagine how out of touch a bunch of suits were — all puffing big cigars and affirmatively nodding — when they agreed to name the place «Dick’s».
It’s a big box store, full of imported stuff. Now when I say imported, I’m not talking about hand crafted German carabiners, or Italian designed mountain wear. Nope — I’m talking China. But if being stuffed with Chinese manufacture were grounds for a diminished review, then most stores in America would get one star.
If your looking to hike into the wilderness, set up a base camp, hunt and fish of food, and maybe kayak home, then Dick’s has all the stuff you might need. I’ve never paid full price at Dick’s. When I get to the check out, the scanner arrives at a price substantially lower than the sticker. When I ask about it, they offer some lame excuse and insist I pay the lower amount.
High end professional gear you won’t find, but for the weekender or occasional Lewis Meriwether, Dick’s is Okay.

Hidden inexpensive sale going on here!
Seriously, my husband and I were needing some hiking items such as a backpack, some high energy foodstuffs, hiking paraphernalia in general.
They have so much to choose from and the brands are Nike, Reebok, etc.
Also, we wanted to get some gear for being on the water like a life jacket. No problem. They had it and the prices were between 20 – 80 dollars. Lots of room for everyone.
Best of all, we headed to the check out stand and there was a sale that we were not aware of and got items for half of what we were counting on.
OK so forward on, I had a couple of things I needed to return, no problem at all. Immediately just removed. I almost felt guilty it was so quick but those particular items just did not fit.
I’m sold.

Store is clean, they have a wide variety of things to choose from if you can find anyone to help you.

We recently visited this store for the first time ever. Nice store, looks great, lots to choose from. We were in the market for a new elliptical. Priced from $ 800-​$ 1200. It seemed as if I had to jump start the sales rep… Asking him to actually say something and sell me a product. He seemed knowledgable after he got started, it just took some arm bending. We purchased a couple of other items as well. Walked out spending a little over $ 1,000.00 as expected.
We bought a Sole E-​25 Elliptical, it is a great machine and it fits our needs. Our big disappointment was that the covers had scratches and someone tried to use a silver sharpie and some spray paint to cover up the «booboo’s»… Not sure if this is Dick’s doing or the manufacturers…
One thing I do know… If I decide to spend my money on a higher end product, then expect it to be perfect out of the box… I would not buy a new car with touch up paint all over it…
Overall, the store was great, front counter customer service was excellent.

The store is clean and new but they are so over priced and the selection in some departments is lacking. I went here looking for water aerobic gear over the weekend and I asked the kid at the door where I could find it. He pointed to the corner and said, we barely have anything like that but what we do have it back there.
They had one set of weights on the shelf and they were on clearance, so good for me, but I wondered if they were going to discontinue carrying water weights or bring in a different brand?
We were getting ping pong supplies about a month ago and they did have a big selection of paddles to pick from.
Like other reviewers, I do wish GI Joes was still there.

We went here for two specific outdoor related apparel items: gaiters for snowshoeing and suspenders. They has neither though I did pick up some gloves!
The store was nice and clean and the staff helpful but I was disappointed in their lack of winter gear… considering it was winter.

Much different than the Washington Square location. Very small selection of pro and college team gear, but there is also a large selection of hunting, fishing, and workwear/​winterwear. And there’s still a good selection of running gear, basketball stuff, etc. I wish GI Joe’s was still here, though…
