“Going, Going, Gone! is Dick’s Sporting Goods outlet store, and it is definitely worth the drive for the deals. We’ve found some great values here, and it’s the kind of place where you can score really good discounts if you take the time to look around.
Just keep in mind that it is an outlet, so inventory is always changing and selection can fluctuate from visit to visit. That is part of the deal, but if you go in expecting that, it is absolutely worth checking out.”
“Went in looking for my first bow. Mike pointed me in the right direction and got everything set up and ready to go. Friendly and helping staff. Definitely will be returning and will definitely recommend!”
“Jen was awesome! She helped me find the right size and walked me though the basics of caring for the skates. For newcomers just note that it is on the second floor of the truck shop! Looking forward to my next visit whenever that may come.⛸️”
“Abby helped me today and it was an awesome experience. I’m super new to getting back into exercise so I had no idea what I needed. She spent the time with me and went through all the options. I didn’t feel pressured at all and extremely happy with the sneaker I left with. I definitely wouldn’t have had the same outcome going to a regular sneaker store and picking something myself.. she was great!”
“One of the best if not the best sneaker store in CT with one of the most respectful and kind owners I have ever met anytime I come in I look forward to talking to him and going to his store highly recommended coming here anyone who says else is a troll”
“Skyler, the manager at this location, recently helped me with a small, but important adjustment to my left orthotic. It has really helped with the pain I was experiencing. Skyler was friendly, and very helpful, and encouraged me to come back, if I needed to. #impressive #nicepeople”
“If you don't know this is affiliated with Target Sports - which is great for ammo. Buy online pick up at Tactical X and save the shipping. Orders are generally ready in a day or so.”
“Shipped about 5 days after ordering, not too bad. Worst part was the puréed paper packing material that was like an exploding confetti bomb when opened. I would do business with CSMC again.”
“Excellent customer service… I had my son’s 35 year old baseball glove (given to him by his grandmother) restiched here. They did an amazing job. They were very informative and guided me through every step. Very fair price. My son is very happy to be able to continue using his glove. Thank you!”
“Deep stock. Good tools. Extreme patience. Franky devoted nearly two hours to successfully fit skates on my niece, whose two feet differed by one whole size. He experimented with different brands, widths, insert types, socks – getting closer and closer – then baked the pair that did the trick. She is delighted and prepped to skate with her toddler son, who does not yet know he's NHL bound. Can't say enough good things about Franky, a veteran, horseman, sports encyclopedia and all around big spirit.”
“I highly recommend this business I reach out to John on Facebook to get the factory sights swapped on my firearm earlier this week .When I arrived at the shop and saw it was closed which was my fault for not calling, i’m assuming due to the holiday weekend which is completely understanding as a small business, luckily I was able to speak to John (Owner)on the phone and he’s said that he was right down the street and would be right over . I was completely shocked that he would take the time out of his schedule even though they were closed , not many businesses especially the owner would do anything like that. I will definitely be back to get more work done. 10/10 !!”

“Chris is a genius!
I use a Wilson Blade V8 and time came when I had to replace a much worn out grommet. Tennis warehouse said I'd have to wait till September... no chance. Called Chris and he went out of the way to get in contact with Wilson, to which they said the V8 grommets were discontinued. Chris was hopeful, helpful and optimistic that the V9 grommets would be able to replace them. A few challenges, some genius thinking, a heat gun and a stab wound later, the V9 made a perfect fit. I hope he doesn't cry with the load of work and people he has to tend to on a daily basis, but Chris certainly isn't afraid to spill blood and sweat for the tennis community. He's the man!
Much gratitude, Chris!”
“Friendly and communicative staff. Customer service is on point! Rachel was very quick to respond to me about helping to adjust an issue on my order which I ultimately decided didn't need to be adjusted. Great customer service, great communication, and the products I received were top shelf quality. Custom prints were shipped to my door in just over two weeks. I will definitely be ordering through them again for future needs.”
“This local shop was amazing for all things snowboarding that my husband was looking for. Chris was very knowledgeable and spent significant time figuring out the best combination of board, bindings, boots, helmet and even bags. Highly recommend for all snowboard needs.”
“Worked with Master Boot Fitter Edge who was phenomenal in helping me find just the right boot for my hard-to-fit feet. He was patient, knowledgeable and efficient in working with me to make my choice. And then he worked his magic in custom fitting the liner and shell through a heating process to mold the materials to the shape of my feet. The service was awesome. I caught the end-of-the-season sales pricing which made it even better. Bob's pricing was as good as any pricing I could find on-line, and given the fitting services I received, there is absolutely no reason to shop elsewhere. I'm sending my wife into the store next week to work with Edge on a pair of boots for her!”
“To level set, I don’t know the first thing about lacrosse, but my 8 year old is starting his first lacrosse season this year, so we wanted to get him ready with the gear he needed. Another parent recommended Play It Again Sports confidently, and it did not disappoint. I was apprehensive about buying secondhand gear, but they also carry new gear as well. The best part - a friendly member of the staff who had been playing lacrosse for 20 years made sure we got the right equipment. He was great. Knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. No matter the sport or the season, if you are looking to get your kid ready to go for their next sport and need gear, it’s worth a visit.”
“There are none better in the screen printing, embroidery, promotional product and trophy industry in Connecticut. Top notch work always done on time. Trust Matt and his crew with your next project.”

“It's been a lonnnnng time since I've done some "recreational" shopping. But Athleta of Avon was worth the trip. They carry a wide range of sizes, have really great staff, and were so pleasant. I was in and out. My first Athleta purchase and it won't be my last.”
“These guys are great! My daughter needed her stick restrung. A teammate recommended LaCrosse Unlimited. We walked in and Patrick had it repaired in under 10 minutes. We'll be back!”
“I rarely shop at footlocker, today I went with my two teenager daughters and everyone there was so amazing! One of my kids wanted a pair of new balances, Jomar came over and asked if we had any questions, my daughter asked if they had her size and he asked what that was-said she was better off getting the same shoe in the kids size and save $40. He figured out her size, found the shoe and saved me money. The girl at the register was unbelievably sweet too. The whole interaction was great. It was so great that I’m writing a review for footlocker. Mainly Jomar-he was awesome: And I saved $80 between 2 pairs of shoes today. I’ll be back!”
“I was at the Dicks in West Hartford yesterday. An Uber driver came in to pick up an online order. The uber driver was incredibly rude to the the cashier. I believe the cashier’s name was Laura. Laura handled the situation calmly explaining that she could not release the order because the uber driver was not on the pick up list. The uber driver was extremely rude, swearing at her. Laura remained calm and professional. Once the online customer was contacted the order was released. When asked for ID the uber driver slammed her ID onto the register and continued to be rude. The cashier handled the situation calmly and professionally. No one deserves to be treated like that and she remained calm and professional.”
“Popped in for a look around for treadmills and learned a ton about what to look out for when buying one. Of the 3 fitness equipment places I went to, this was the first one that I truly felt like I was being informed, not sold to. Will be back on Friday to make final selection.”
“Love the clothes here! Technical but just as good for casual wear as for your workout. I even wear some pieces to work. Every stitch and seam has a purpose but the pieces are pretty too! and the best fit of any workout wear I've tried! The price is well worth it as they last and wear well. Plus, while they are on trend, they aren't fad-y, so you can wear them on and on.”
“I have had several outstanding experiences here. The staff members are always friendly and helpful, on the phone and in the store. One helped advise me on how to look up gear on the website to confirm it was available for resupply in the store before coming in, and another took the time to check some shoes I was picking up to make sure they were the right size in the box. They have quality products and I am impressed by the staff’s attitude. Great job, guys, customer for life.”

“My boyfriend and I came here to check out some jackets to replace his old one. Ernes was SUPER helpful and helped us pick him out the perfect jacket. He took the time to explain the difference between the two we were looking at and was super knowledgable. Highly recommend!”
“This place was pretty good. We came in here looking for a particular pair of shoes and a particular size they had them I mean it’s a shoe store so this is what we expected but the service was really good. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable weed return.”
“Well run, very organized. The owners are very helpful. Seems very accurate compared to real golf shots. Planned another outing immediately after finishing this one.”
“I ordered two Mec Gar magazines for a RUGER MK IV 2-3 weeks ago. Not yet received. Seems like a long time for in stock items. Their magazines are known for excellent quality. I am anxious to try them, I have Mec Gar magazines for my CZ 9mm and also my old former PD S&W 5906. Always superb and often extra capacity. Tom in Buford, Georgia”
“Very friendly helpful an polite. My shoes were delivered to my home they were the wrong color. I called. I was told it was a mistake made from where the sneakers came from. I accepted and went to return them at another location I received my sneakers with the correct color”
