Love this place. Didnt have the shoes i wanted in my size, no problem because theyre high-tech. The guy had them delivered to my home, and i paid for them in the shoe section. He swiped my card on the spot with his portable card reader and it was a done deal. But another time i went there i bought an exercise bike, and i had to checkout at customer service. Well the lady was in full conversation forever with 2 customers in front of me. Mind you i drove from Williamston and i was on a time limit. So eventually it was my turn and the happy customer service attendant i just witnessed being friendly suddenly had a 180 degree turn around. Very rude and unprofessional, but I wont let that stop me from shopping here. Good quality merchandise and they dont make it a big secret that they follow people around m as making sure people arent stealing. Always makes me uncomfortable, but they have to protect the investment.

Loved it when Academy came to Easley. I am a regular customer. I went in today to buy weight bench. I saw the one I wanted but couldnt find it on the shelf. I went to find someone to help me. When I finally got help about 10 minutes later, they could not find it either. The associate recruited more help and I waited and waited. Eventually he came back and said that it was discontinued and that I could buy the display. I offered to buy it if I could get a 25% discount. Reasonable since they could no longer sell this model. I waited again and he offered me a 5% discount when he returned. After an hour in the store to try to buy 1 item, I was dismayed to find that they offered me a measly $5 discount on a discontinued item. I guess I will buy one at full price elsewhere.

So glad when this store opened and I have never been disappointed. They always have well stocked shelves with a good choice of products. The prices at Academy are in line or below other sports store. The store has always been clean and the folk working there are always helpful. I shop this store almost weekly and Im sure you will be impressed with this store.

The people at the gun bar and hunting and fishing are wonderful.but if u r just going in to shop.keep an eye out for those employees that may think that you are going to steal.I will make a statement when I am there if I catch them.that they need to follow someone that may actually be going to steal.because if I cant purchase then I dont want it

Excellent bore sight by Zach at the gun bar friendly people all over the store. Asked for a gun runner to get me gun back to Zach and the woman up front was certified and got me taken care of in 5 min also bought some exploding targets and ammo my whole trip took about 20 min with the bore sight.

This has become my go-to local sports equipment store. I like their variety of items for all aspects of sports and outdoor enthusiasts. One complaint would be the lack of plus size workout wear. Otherwise, you can find just about everything you need for an active lifestyle.

They have electric carts for those of us needing them to shop effectively, and offer a vast selection of activewear, back to school goods, athletic shoes, as well as sportibg goods of all varieties. The staff is friendly and helpful, ans checkout times are fast.

Semi knowledgeable staff. Had to wait forever to purchase the firearm I wanted due to limited staff at the gun counter. I have since located a better option for firearm purchases that is not a corporate chain.

This is a nice store and fairly well stocked. However, most of the associates are very young and lack good customer service skills. Youre pretty much "on your own" when shopping here.

Purchased soccer shoes and soccer ball for Son. Prices were ok. Had to settle on a pair of shoes because they were out of most styles in his size. Also out of shin socks in his size.
