“Ashley was incredibly helpful in finding the best-fitting shoes for me. The store has a machine that analyzes my feet and the way I walk. Ashley recommended three options and had me try them one by one, helping me narrow them down until we found the best fit. When I got home, I even noticed that he had carefully re-laced both shoes for me. I really appreciated his attention to detail!”
“Awesome experience as a first timer at the BPRC in Decatur——— My husband, who had shopped with them before, suggested that I go in to be fitted for a new pair of walking shoes, and I am so happy he did. I forget the young man’s name who assisted me, but he was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me as I asked a lot of questions and kept changing my mind on which shoe to get. The other sales clerks were nice and helpful as well. After all was said and done, they helped me make an excellent choice, and I was more than pleased with my purchase. I didn’t get one of their cool shopping bags, but I am in love with my new Brooks sneakers! I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks BPRC! 🙂”
“As I along with my wife entered this store, we were welcomed with a smile by a sales person. The moment I explained my requirement, my specific issues, the sales person knew that they do not have in their range the kind of shoes meeting my needs, i.e., slip-on shoes. Still, he responded to all my queries with patience and offered me to try other alternatives I requested for. The sales person's behavior was truly heartwarming and reflected the culture of the store. For me, this is a prime consideration while reviewing a store. Would like to visit again, hoping for New Balance to expand their range to include slip-on shoes in future.”
“If you’re in the area looking for a studio, this is your place to be. I took a class with Merri in Gainesville and she was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. Her artwork on the inside walls is beautiful and the studio was very clean. As an Instructor myself, I was very pleased and highly recommend attending any of the many classes that are offered!”
“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this shoe store. I think the store manager's name is Kalil. The level of customer service was truly outstanding. The manager went above and beyond to make sure I found exactly what I needed, taking the time to listen, offer thoughtful recommendations, and ensure I was completely satisfied. The store was well-organized, welcoming, and the staff clearly reflects the manager’s leadership and high standards. I left with shoes I love and an experience that will definitely bring me back again and again. Highly recommend!”
“I had a wonderful shopping experience at the Champs store in South DeKalb Mall! From start to finish, the customer service was top-notch. Kam was extremely friendly and down to earth. He laughed with us and helped me convince my mom to pick out a specific shoe. He checked on us throughout our visit to make sure we were okay, which made the experience feel really genuine. My mom, who is older, likes to try on both shoes and walk in them before deciding, and even though the store typically allows only one shoe at a time, Quan kindly made an exception for her. That small act of understanding really made her comfortable. Quan also checked us out at the register and went above and beyond. He let me add a last-minute purchase while he was ringing us up and even went to the back to grab it himself. On top of that, he took the time to check my FLX Rewards (something no one has ever done for me before), and I was able to use my rewards toward our purchase. Because of Kam and Quan’s excellent service, my mom, my daughter, and I had such a pleasant shopping trip. Their professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Decatur—where it’s greater! ?”
“The staff are awesome help and are pretty social people! You can really just sit down and have a conversation with an employee about Sneakers, fashion, Music, etc. It's great!”
“Walking back into South DeKalb Mall after nearly two decades felt like a full-circle moment for me, growing up in Decatur. What started as a quick stop at Lids Store #5582 turned into one of the best retail experiences I’ve had in a long time. Zeniah and Bucky truly set the standard for customer service. When I came in looking for a specific blank hat I had seen at another location, they were in the middle of receiving a shipment, but that didn’t stop them. They went above and beyond, digging through boxes to find exactly what I described. That level of effort alone was impressive, but what stood out even more was their genuine hospitality. They made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in, didn’t rush me at all, and even let me talk their ears off without missing a beat 😆. It felt less like a transaction and more like connecting with good people who actually enjoy what they do. I even came back a couple of days later—not just for another hat, but to see some genuinely cool people again. Zeniah and Bucky are the real value behind every purchase I make there. Whoever needs to hear this: you’ve got the right team representing the brand and its mission at this location.”
“We use Krown Sports exclusively for our tshirt needs. They offer competitive pricing, excellent service, and have even personally dropped off multiple emergency orders for us. We are so grateful!”
“I bought a bicycle, a saddle, gear lube and front and rear lights. I called ahead to check the availability of their online selection of bikes. The sales staff on the line was super helpful in checking the stock for me before I made the trip down. At the store, they even let me borrow their allen key and philips screwdriver so I could change my saddle on the spot. Great place to shop, would recommend.”
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.
