  Went to shop there and a white worker continued to pretend to be busy on the isle I was shopping in because he was sure I was going to steal. Several times he visited the isle I was shopping in again pretending to be busy. He was absolutely sure a black American man was going to steal. Needless to say I make infinitely more money than he and almost all of the workers there combined. I simply walked out of the store.

  I recently had a very disappointing experience at this Academy Sports location while picking up a firearm I legally purchased online. Upon arrival, the store manager, Austin, took my ID and immediately began criticizing the condition of it. I have purchased firearms from multiple Academy Sports locations in the past and have never encountered an issue with my identification. I then provided my concealed carry permit, which he accepted without further issue. During the interaction, he asked if the pink Ruger I purchased was “for me,” which felt unprofessional and unnecessary. Customers should not feel questioned or made uncomfortable about their lawful purchases. What concerns me most is that I was ultimately denied the sale without a clear explanation. Instead of properly communicating the reason, I was told to try another location. Since then, I have been flagged in a denial system across Academy Sports stores, which has been extremely frustrating and confusing. Most troubling, during this encounter I recall hearing what I believe was a racial slur while I was being asked to leave. As an African American customer who has previously completed lawful purchases without issue, this experience left me feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and unfairly treated. This experience left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. Professionalism, clarity, and respect should be standard — especially in a regulated transaction like this. I hope Academy Sports reviews this situation seriously, as no customer should leave feeling uncomfort

  Call ed the store located at 130 Perimeter Dunwoody Georgia.. they are out of snow boots for kids.. Go figure. They should have some onhand or at least one of each size. No snow boots at all. The first person to answer the phone was good, polite ,manners. The second person not so good.
