    Fist off this store is the most unorganized place I have ever been in the shelf’s are horrible to try and find anything there’s random stuff everywhere! The only good employees are the ones at the gun counter. 2ed they will get you with false advertisement and by that I mean they have signs everywhere but one get one 50%off same brand so I got 2 things of the games brand well what do u know it didn’t count for my items just because one of them was in a box vs a hanger! Straight out of Clayton’s mouth! With extremely bad attitude then just turned around and walked away! I really used to injoy this store but they have definitely lost a customer that was there at least every other week!

    I really like this location and I shop here often I need a specific type of shoe that I was not familiar with so I asked Eli for help. Oftentimes employees will tell you what aisle things are on and set you on your way. Not Eli. He walked me over there and after he got me there he helped me figure out which shoes would be the best for my needs. He listened to what I had to say and offered two or three options that would work for me. I asked him what type shoe he personally wore for outdoor work and he showed me and told me this probably wouldn't work for what I was looking for. I just appreciate his honesty and willingness to help me and I ended up getting a pair of shoes that I'm really happy with. He's a great asset to the company. His badge says Eli team lead serving since 2025.

    I was buying ammo from the outdoors section and decided to check out up front. A gentleman from the customer service desk called me over so he could check me out and asked if I wanted $30 off my purchase today. I said why not thinking I’d just be signing up for a rewards system but that was NOT the case. He didn’t explain what I was signing up for until I looked at a sign that was advertising an Academy Sports credit card in which you could save $30 on your current purchase. I was misdirected into signing up for said credit card. These credit cards are well known scams and I feel stupid for allowing this employee to sell me this credit card. I’ve come to learn they have to fill a sale quota for said credit cards which is why they push them like they do. This is predatorial. I came back in today to talk to someone and a few employees helped me and gave me a few options of what to do to cancel the card and said whoever sold me this card was sly and misleading. Please don’t sign up for this card PERIOD. Please learn from my mistake. And thanks to the employees who treated me like a human when I came back in, those are the type of employees you want at your company. I wish I remembered their names. And to the gentleman who sold me the card, you’re an absolute goober and should be re-trained.
