“On 3/19/26 Went in with my daughter. She's very picky usually it takes a few stores to find something she likes but Not this time! This was one and done. Thanks to Nicole & Dan! they worked with her through the whole process. Would definitely recommend this place especially moms with teens! thanks again.”
“Wonderful patience and attention to detail throughout the scanning, fitting, and sizing experience. I feel confident in my choice and ready to hit the road. Thanks gang!”
“I wanted to send a quick note to say how happy I was with my purchase today.
I visited the store just after lunch and met Gary, who was wonderful to work with. He really knew his stuff, and it was clear that he is an expert in his field. He had me walk in front of him and was able to identify exactly what kind of shoe I needed just by analyzing my gait.
I could tell he was very serious about his work and truly knew what he was talking about. I went with his suggestion, and I am quite happy with the results. The shoes he picked out appear to be fantastic for running, which is a topic Gary and I discussed at length.
This store clearly knows what they are doing and offers a great selection of running shoes and accessories. I will certainly be coming back again and again.
Best regards,
Abe”
“Rainbo is the best place in Chicagoland for all things skating. Their expertise in skates are second to none. I highly recommend you call and make an appointment if you need any maintenance or need to order skates. They are extremely busy because of the high caliber of service, and you may not be able to "drop in"”
“The facilities were clean. I seldom come here, and when I do, it's usually for my kid's classmates' birthday parties. Overall, the rooms are large enough to host rambunctious 5-year-olds.”
“The owner provided excellent service and advice! We bought equipment and a bike from this location. 1 year warranty on the bike. Very impressed with the quality of the items and the customer service. Thank you!”

“I love this place. Old-time hardware store w friendly knowledgeable staff. Especially for our older homes, if you need it, they have it. I hope residents support this gem, by giving them their business.”
“Hands down some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in this line of work. Amazing pros and home to the legendary Racket man. Guaranteed to walk out happier than when you walk in. Fresh hot coffee always brewing and the facility is spotless and clean.”
“Truly the best store owners! We stopped in the morning due to some tire issues and arrived before they opened, but the store owners helped us anyways. Love the air compressor built into the front of the store for filling up tires outside the store (see bottom right corner of picture). Ask about the history of the store and know that you’re supporting a local business that really cares about their customers. My heart warmed when they said “we don’t have customers, we only have friends”.”
“The people who are complaining saying “bad service”, or “poor communication”, I have no idea what they are talking about, honestly think that they are purposely leaving bad reviews. I was just here, its a great shop, with nice and helpful workers. Some cards seem a little pricey but great overall 4.5/5.”

“I joined The Racquet Club of Lake Bluff a couple of years ago and I've been really happy with the private lessons, evening drills, team drills and all of the tennis pros and other staff. I was a member at Midtown Bannockburn for over 10 years, and prefer The Racquet Club of Lake Bluff for its inclusive and friendly atmosphere. Even though I live closer to Midtown Bannockburn, I'm happy to have moved my membership to The Racquet Club of Lake Bluff.”
“If you’re a hockey newbie or event pro, this is the place to go!I signed up to take adult beginner hockey lessons with my partner. Liam helped us for almost two hours helping us get everything you could possible need to play the game while also actively helping us look for the most affordable options so we weren’t breaking the bank. He also helped us understand what the purpose and how to put the gear all on.I’m so glad he was there to be incredibly helpful and now I feel fully prepared to take my first ever hockey class!”

“One of Our Favorite Stores.
We always have a great experience at REI in Vernon Hills. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. We shop here for athletic shoes and outdoor gear, and my husband recently bought a bike the service was amazing from start to finish.
We’re also REI members, and the member deals make it even better. The store is big, easy to shop, and has a great selection you can actually see and try on.”

“The store is well maintained, wel stockedm while the staff is friendly and eager to serve. Recently did an online order for pick-up, everything was ready as soon as the doors opened in the morning--quick and easy.”
“This location is my favorite of the few I’ve been to, and mostly because of the employees and how wonderful they have been every time I’ve been in!
This most recent visit brought me back 3 times, as I failed to try the items on the first day, returned a second to exchange one item, to then have to bring that second item back, a third time. This time I knew exactly what I needed as far as style and size, and all 3 times, Barbara was there, and smiling just as wide, and just as knowledgeable and kind each time! Thank you for being so lovely and patient Barbara, Athleta is very lucky to have you!”
“(Translated by Google) Everything is great! Immediately after the shipment of the goods, the seller sent a track number and was in touch all the time. Maybe I was lucky, but the parcel reached the Russian Federation in 3 weeks in August 2022. And this is without any intermediaries, they are sent directly!(Original)Все отлично! Сразу после отгрузки товара продавец прислал трекномер и все время был на связи. Может мне повезло, но до РФ посылка дошла за 3 недели в августе 2022. И это без всяких посредников, отправляют напрямую!”
