Gun bar staff when I went today for the first time was horrible, un helpful, rude and dismissive. If it wasn’t for the fact that I already purchased the gun and was just picking it up I would have not bought it from them the way they were acting. That restocking fee also made me not return it but I really wanted to cancel sale and buying it somewhere else..

Amanda at the service desk was kind, friendly and most importantly helpful! It was very early in the morning and right before Christmas and her positive attitude was CONTAGIOUS! Amanda was able to fix an issue that was created by the Gainesville location. She did a great job of owning the customer service I received and didn't bash the other store for messing up. She invited me to come back again, and I definitely will be coming to this location going forward. Thank you Amanda, Merry Christmas!

Pretty straight forward. Clean and tidy. Decent selection of gear. Very friendly service. Got what I wanted. Not too busy on a rainy Saturday morning. Ample parking and not far from the Mall of GA.

Staff helpful but not manager. Raised FFL fee from $35 to $100 just to rip people off. Not getting my business anymore.

Great Customer Service. Special thank you to the young man who graciously re-spooled all 4 of my reels at 8:30pm on a Saturday night. Kudos to the manager who came back to help and talk fishing. First class customer service.

Such an amazing store! It’s huge and has so many available sports equipment! I was assisted by Leslie and she made the experience so much easier! She was so sweet and helpful with finding everything I needed!

I had a wonderful experience here at this location. Leslie and Jaimie were the most sweetest on helping me find what we needed. I definitely will be shopping here again

I went on a Friday afternoon to make my first firearm purchase. Daniel who was “manning” that department was outstanding. Walked me through every step professionally. I not once felt rushed or less than for not having much knowledge about the process of purchasing a weapon.Later, Austin the team leader on duty came back to further assist me with the finishing touches on my purchase. He then told me a little about himself and engaged in great conversation. It felt genuine. A well deserved promotion! My last encounter was with Melanie. The cashier. She made sure to be positive, energetic, wore a smile and had great hospitality. To the crew at Academy Sports. Thank you for your patience and support on such an exciting but nervous purchase for me. It meant a lot.

I love this place for a quick place to grab some sports gear for my kids which are reasonably priced. They do have things with a higher price tag, but cheaper options for the frugal shopper. They did have limited kids clothes for sport team apparel but I did go later in the season. Overall worth the stop to look for kids stuff for sports.

This used to be my favorite place to get my athletic wear. Out of stock on ladies size medium in every pair of shorts that i wanted to buy that didn't have recycled polyester. Also I wished that they would stop trying to sell these clothes made with recycled polyester/bottles because they ARE NOT THE SAME QUALITY as before. They start coming apart after several washings and they don't even feel the same. When i went to check out Sunday there was 1 cashier at returns and 1 for the rest of us 14 people in line waiting and waiting that i almost gave up. Please do better Academy.

After purchasing 5 items and having the theft alarm go off the lady comes over peeks in the bag and says your good we know you paid for it. I said are you sure there are no tags on them and she said yes. We'll guess what I found when I got home? Three of those little theft tags still attached. Now have to drive all the way back to Buford (1 hour+) to get the tags removed. Next time I'll just order from Amazon. Not happy at all. Should just return them.

Friendly service reps are very helpful. Went to get some football gear for my son, but I checked out the guns while I was there, and the rep back there was very knowledgeable with helping me choose a firearm. ?

They have a good collection of most sport brands, clothing attire and shoes. I gave three stars because of the terrible interactions I've had with the front of store greeter. On two separate occasions, I came in with my gym bag and the greeter (she was an older woman) asked to leave my bag with her at her front desk. I politely declined and she berated me to which I replied that I did not want her to be responsible for the goods in the bag which also contained my purse. I spoke with a store clerk about the incident and she told me this behavior was not in their store policy. When it happened a second time (with the same greeter) it really left a bad impression and I just knew she was prejudice, rude, and condescending. I brought the bag in because I am a member at the Crunch gym directly next to it and was buying gym attire and going to working out. I don't need to justify why I shouldn't have to leave my personal belongings with someone I don't know or trust. I've had great interactions with other store clerks. I hope this review helps.

When it comes to a store greeter, Melanie is the best! I visit this store all of the time and she is always so cheerful and knowledgeable of where things are.Kate is usually the employee who checks me out at the register. She is always kind and efficient.

I like this store. It's a good alternative to bass pro shops. Maybe not as hig of an selection but they offer deals that sometimes beats Bass Pro. Also there are more locations
