Love this place. Alot of outdoor tools. Mainly go for my fishing equipment. The managers are very nice and helpful. Staff are not the nicest or useful but they aren't the worse. Refund policy convenient and similar to other stores. You need receipt. FYI: No generators are sold here.

I visited the ShortPump store to purchase a work out tank top. The top I selected did not have a price tag. I took the top with one identical but smaller size to the register for $19.99. The cashier stated the top is $24.99 and would not honor the lower price $19.99, and told me it was last years top. I was under the impression that’s store should honor the printed price of the item. I am returning all items purchased at Acadamy and will shop elsewhere for a better competitive pricing and honorable customer appreciation. Shame on Academy, there are other retailers in this space that offer quality merchandise with competitive pricing. Buyer be aware!

I really regret not going to Cabellas 😩 the line is ridiculously long and the manager that’s needed for processing keeps walking away and then we have WAIT again for his return! This is ridiculous and Academy should consider their customers time!!!
