“Nice little badminton shops. They have an extensive collection of rackets and the owner is pretty friendly and receptive when it comes to answering any questions you may have. Pricing is pretty standard. I don't think you're going to get a bargain here, but you certainly won't be miffed either.”
“My favorite place to go to for all my supplements. Staff are always friendly. I love the owners. They greet you like a family. They are the most loving people. They gained their 5 star starting out of their garage and now they are world wide known. I’ve been taking their supplements for years and I keep buying more.”
“Got new ASICS shoes a month or so ago from here. Really helpful and patient people. Took their time to find the right shoe and gave me enough time and space to assess them. Lot of the running stores in the bay area feel too rushed and trying to upsell you. But i didn't feel that here and that's more than i can ask for”
“Bicycle Outfitter has the most extensive knowledge and the highest level of customer service I've experienced in many years of bike shopping in the Bay Area. I recently shopped for a gravel bike and worked closely with store manager, Danny Brown. He was patient and knowledgeable in showing me the many analog/traditional bike options as well as e-bike options. He clearly explained the spec differences and nuances, and he added observations that were important to my decision-making. Danny offered me the opportunity to ride as many different bikes as needed, and I never felt pressured or hurried to make a decision. I felt like the mutual goal was to find the right bike for me, not upsell me to something I didn't want or need. In addition, the bike purchase included (at no extra charge) a very thorough fitting done by bike-fitter Chris. The fitting process was also exceptional, filled with detailed measurements and adjustments, thoughtful questions about my riding preferences, and excellent observations and suggestions from Chris' wealth of experience. The end result was a fine-tuned fitting that has maximized my enjoyment of my new Specialized Creo. I can't recommend Danny, Chris and the Bicycle Outfitter team enough, and I have already begun sending friends there.”
“Great experience buying my new running shoes here. The staff was knowledgeable and took the time to help me find a pair that fits perfectly. Friendly service and very helpful highly recommend”
“The owner of the shop is incredibly chill and knowledgeable. Helped me get a perfect longboard setup, even though the boards come as complete sets, he let me swap out some wheels and bearings and the prices were super reasonable. Also, if you're looking for the Baker Tim Robinson board, they have a few of the cosmic gumbo and the hotdog one, as of yesterday-just gotta ask about them! (Just a note this is an old review so idk about the Baker boards, but still a fantastic shop!)”
“Excellent establishment, Jim was very helpful and knowledgeable with the show fitting to find what would work best for me. I appreciated the help and he was very patient.”
“I've ordered rackets and strings from their website. Deliveries took some time since I live on the east coast. But I've received everything no problem and continue to recommend this shop to my tennis teams.”
“Just bought a new aventon Level four REC Large and matte black What impressed me the most was the bicycle technician Made sure everything was working properly Adjusted the derailerMultiple times Until it was just right He explained to me the different fundamentals on how the bike works I was really impressed I went to the cashier to pay. They gave me the 10% discount which was a great savings. Also, I donated to a charity and that made me feel really good Nothing bad to say only good things Highly recommend you guys Thank you Robert Schmidt”
“I came in looking for a great pair of running shoes, and stopping here was the best decision! The staff took the time to measure my feet properly and help me find the absolute best fit. The team is genuinely knowledgeable, attentive, and knows every detail about the shoes they carry. I had such a wonderful experience that I brought my husband back to get a pair, too. This is definitely our new go-to running store—we'll be back whenever we need new shoes!”
“Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had my racquet restrung here and even though they have more customers than big stores, Greg gets the racquet back to you faster. Great selection of racquet available to purchase and demo. Haven’t really looked at cloth or shoes to compare. I would come back again for my tennis needs.”
“Very great customer service! I was struggling with the fit of my shoes so I went in to this store without having been here before. I appreciated how the advice was tailored for me and wasn't just an immediate recommendation to buy something! I definitely would come back here again to buy my next pair of shoes.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Sharks Pool Tables to get my Brunswick Gold Crown VII. I initially reached out to Danny via email to inquire about ordering one, and even though they were backordered, he went above and beyond to secure one for me. The standard build time flew by, and it was absolutely worth the wait. When it came time for delivery, the installation crew was incredibly professional, meticulous, and left the space spotless. The table itself is stunning and plays beautifully. If you’re looking for top-tier service and quality, I can’t recommend Danny and the team at Sharks Pool Tables enough!”
“Came from Santa Cruz and was greeted by Jake. Jake was very friendly and professional he gave a bunch of options and insights although my son was not set on a glove and we didn't purchase at this time I will be back and recommend to everyone to come here and support.”
“I walked in and was greeted by Jesus, he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I explained how I am trying to get back into soccer after 8 years and he helped me buy football boots, shin guards, socks, training ball and a pump. Very helpful, highly recommend to everyone.”
“Sadly, I didn't get any photos inside the store, but we received *amazing* service and ended up purchasing several pairs of shoes for the whole family! The staff was incredibly helpful, patient, and informative. Alex, in particular, asked a lot of questions about how often we hike and knew a lot of detailed specifications that helped my info-hungry husband make a decision. Thank you to the staff member who showed me the other color options for the new Jasper MJ and spent extra time with me going over all the cute women's footwear. We've been a KEEN family for a long time, so it was a treat to visit the Garage 🤗”
“Loved my visit, went in for a propane swap, walked out excited with two Exped sleeping mats. Lia was amazing in walking me through the products and pointing out features that makes each product unique, demonstrating best practices and tricks that will save me time and frustration when I’m out in the wild. Super courteous staff all around, talked with 5 of them, each energized and smooth. Will for sure visit again when next adventure knocks”
“AMAZING STORE!!! I wish I wouldve gotten the name of the kind lady that helped me; she was extremely knowledgeable and knew right away what would help and suit me. Gave me plenty of helpful options. Might become my new sports spot. She also allowed me to lap a few times to see how the fit and on-action use would be. Unbelievable service !!!”
“I am very Glad to see First Time in Silicon Valley Bay Area ( Milpitas ) US Cricket Store and very great customer service which fulfilled my Demands by Choosing ( Bat + Ball ). Thanks 🫵🙏✍☺.”
“I’m new to hand guns and was nervous to even talk to someone with my limited knowledge of what I was looking for and Brian was very friendly with me and my wife. He explained everything to me with a lot of patience and grate detail gave us options and recommended a gun that he has personally. I ended up picking his first choice and I was so glad I came to this shop first highly recommended it for new gun owners. 10/10!!”
“Great coaches and team spirit at Bay to Bay! It’s a good place to get started with volleyball and continue to grow, with lots of options for different levels and styles of play (beginner to highly competitive/advanced, indoor/outdoor). I recommend checking it out!”
“As my review goes for the actual bowling house is highly rated so is the pro shop. Helpful staff with a lot of supplies on hand. Honest advice without pushy sales tactics. A solid pro shop is the sign of a great place.”
“A little note of appreciation for a truly special place my wife and I visited recently in Japantown, San Jose. We stopped into Nichi Bei Bussan, and it turned out to be far more than just a shop. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed—and almost immediately, a young man working there greeted us with a smile and handed us a small origami figure. Such a simple, thoughtful gesture, and it perfectly set the tone for the visit. The store itself is wonderful: Japanese groceries, teas, ceramics, stationery, paper goods, gifts, and beautifully curated traditional items you don’t often see anymore. It feels calm, authentic, and quietly joyful to browse. What makes Nichi Bei Bussan truly special, though, is the history behind it. The shop traces its roots back to 1902, when it was founded in San Francisco by Shojiro Tatsuno, serving the Japanese immigrant community. The Tatsuno family endured the 1906 earthquake, the forced internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and the long road of rebuilding afterward. In 1948, Shojiro’s son Dave Tatsuno reopened the family business in San Jose’s Japantown, where it has remained ever since. Today, the store continues under the care of the next generation, including Arlene Tatsuno Damron, carrying forward a legacy of culture, resilience, and community. Knowing that history—and then experiencing such genuine kindness in person—made our visit feel deeply meaningful. We left not just with a few lovely items, but with smiles and a sense of having touched a living piece of Japanese-American history. If you’re ever in Japantown San Jose, do yourself a favour and stop by Nichi Bei Bussan. It’s not just a shop—it’s warmth, history, and humanity all under one roof.”
“I dropped a hundred dollar bill on the ground and the two people working found it and gave me a call after I left the store. Very honest employees and filled with integrity.”
“I’ve had such a great experience with GOLFTEC! The staff is always super friendly, and they have a really nice selection of clubs and equipment, including some sleek Asian brands you don’t see everywhere. They also offer a lot of helpful services like adjusting club length, and the pricing has been very reasonable. I’ve also been taking lessons with Sean, and he’s genuinely one of the best coaches I’ve had in any sport. He’s incredibly detail-oriented, patient, and clearly really cares about helping you improve. He gets genuinely excited when you make progress, which makes the lessons really fun and motivating. Highly recommend!”
“Checked out the shop for TCG product (MTG). Small supply but not crazy prices. Overall really good source for sleeves, toplpaders, binder pages etc, great pricing on those. Super friendly staff, was able to get guidance on what sleeves I should buy.”
“Thank you to Laurent for ever so kindly and diligently helping bring my 20-year-old Patagonia ski jack back to life. I walked in today and mentioned to him that I had noticed two of the zipper pulls had broken off. Not only did he helpfully replace them at the store, but also he proactively noticed that the material in two spots may benefit from a gentle go of their LED Fabric Shaver/Lint Remover and kindly offered to further restore the jacket to be enjoyed for many more years. His warmth and humor inspired a delightful user experience. I was in and out in ~10 minutes with my refreshed jacket and feel gratitude to both Laurent & the Patagonia team for caring so much about their product, as well as their customer experience. How wonderful that their quality spans decades.”
“Have been coming here for the last 4 years to get names put on jerseys for my son's hockey team. They do an amazing job each time. The store is neat and organized as well and the staff is ready to help with any questions I have had. I don't play volleyball but they have all the gear needed there and a whole bunch of other cool apparel. Great job guys the kids are going to love the jerseys.”
“They'll make you feel like a million bucks, then dress you like it. The best in the business for a few decades now. Run by a wonderful family that will treat you like a member of theirs. Truly can't say enough good things about how they approach the menswear business. Its not shopping, it's an experience. Go. You won't be disappointed.”
“The place was very clean and I felt very special when in the changing room and they wrote reserved for Becky. The clothes there is very stylish and comfortable looking.”
The outdoor retailer plans to open a 100,000-square-foot store in College Station, Texas, in 2028. It'll sit along State Highway 6, north of William D. Fitch Parkway, next to a Costco and in front of the future South College Station baseball and softball complex. On Sept. 24, the College Station City Council approved a $10.84 million sale of 28 acres in a unanimous vote. Bass Pro gets about 14 acres for its store. Dallas-based Corinth Properties will build a mixed-use project with restaurants and an event plaza on the other 14.
