“I went here to get a new compound bow. As a somewhat new shooter I got very lucky to meet Rick. Rick was one of those unsuspecting employees who you think might be just an eager to help individual but you’d be wrong.
Rick has been teaching archery for years and the conditions were perfect where he spent 15 minutes with me that improved my shooting significantly.
Rick adjusted my bow and gave me pointers that were helpful and useful. I hope you’re as lucky as me and get to meet Rick.”
“I had a wonderful experience at Xtra Mile! Both the owner Chris and the associate Kevin who I worked with were super resourceful and patient in helping me find the right running shoes for me. Appreciated the gait analysis they do at the store (having you walk/run on the treadmill and analyzing your video) and shoe recs. Ended up getting Brooks Glycerin Max on sale, which I’m liking so far. Chris is very involved in the community too and tries to be a resource for runners of all levels. Highly recommend this Xtra Mile Running!”
“Devyn is very knowledgeable about the shoes and how they fit. He also know the anatomy of the foot and how each shoe can be of better support. Kind and helpful.”
“I was looking to try on some shoes for pickleball. Having never been to this store, i did not realize that the selection of shoes was limited. However, the gentleman working was very polite and helped me the best that he could. The store was small but had a nice variety of tennis racquets and pickleball paddles. Just not a lot of shoes.”
“Amazing service! Extremely helpful as well! Definitely will be coming back. If you’re new to the sport and need help finding shoes or even a racket they got you.”
“awesome local tennis shop! They have a wide selection of strings, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and they even offer same-day pickup for racket restringing, which is a huge plus. It’s clear they really care about the tennis community and know their stuff. Whether you need a restring, new gear, or just solid advice, this place is a great local resource for anything tennis-related. Highly recommend!”
“Finally found the shoe I needed with the help of Hamid yesterday at the Kildeer store! He listened to what I needed & fit me with a Brooks GTS for support & stability. Can’t thank him enough! The right shoes really make the difference!”
“Nothing short of amazing! Took my son in to get fitted for a new bat, Steve asked a bunch of questions and let him hit what he recommended and also what my son thought “ was cool”. Steve showed him the difference in each bat and how it affected his swing. My son and I both felt very confident in the bat they both selected and agreed worked and felt the best. Gave us a very good price , lower than anything I had seen online. I would have paid more or theoretically whatever price he told us , as he had our full trust. Steve then told us exactly how to break in the new bat in order to get the best results.
Thank you Steve and Sports Scene for making it a great day for my son and for making it easy to spend the kind of money these new bats cost. You have made a lifetime customer and all of our referrals.”

“To me, this is the best discount store. It is always organized and clean, and best of all the checkout line is reasonable, unlike those huge lines that form at other stores in the chain.”
“Wonderful customer service and skill. After reaching out twice to a local business to refelt and level our table and neither time getting the call back that was promised, I called MC. They called right back, educated me about the next steps, got me in their schedule quickly and showed up when they said they would. They made quick and beautiful work of our table.
We are now ready to entertain the guests coming out for a graduation party and wedding that we are hosting this year!
Thanks guys for a beautiful job and the great customer service.”

“Syrup is one of my favorite places. This is where I go to get any sporting grade needs that I can trust all the people here are worth noting their professional and they had a great selection of different items, especially hiking and running items, though I will look online, but other than that, the staff and the pricing here is excellent and you never know what you’ll find so excited to come back to this place.”
“This was my first time ever walking into this store. I never went in because I thought it was a bunch of knockoff stuff but I was wrong. This store has everything I need for sports. I’m a BIG Chicago fan and I know out of all these stores in Woodfield mall, this store has the most variety of stuff to choose from. I would always shop at Lids because of their coupons. I’m hoping this store has the same sales or coupons like their competitors. But I will definitely make this my to go to sports store. Also, I was very impressed by how nice the staff was. I was greeted nicely , got help as soon as I needed it. A BIG shoutout to the Rally staff at Woodfield mall? #23”
“Great selection of actual work wear for nearly any industry, whatever they don't have on hand they can order. Staff was super helpful, no nonsense and while more expensive than cheap gear, you'll sound less in the long run when you're not replacing it as often.”
“Good selection but was hoping they would have the ryugi hooks and tackle but mostly just chochkis with the ryugi name. Good selection of megabass and the normal stuff ya need. If your into bass fishing check them out.”

“This place is so amazing. Not only do they have a huge selection of great equipment, they are so kind and caring. Their customer service is top notch, and they go above and beyond to take care of their customers. This is my go to anytime I need to buy something new for my daughter. She is a 10 year old softball player, and every season we have to upgrade her bats and gloves, Play it Again in Schaumburg has great quality stuff for such reasonable prices!! Check it out before you go out and spend too much!!!!”
“It’s a bit of a drive for me but worth it. I contemplated saving money by ordering online but… they always make sure the fit is right for the style /age needed on dance shoes. Prices are very reasonable for quality products. Every time I leave I’m always glad I stopped in and feel confident in my purchases!”
“This store is so cute. I was gifted a backpack a year ago and finally went in to get it embroidered on Black Friday, nonetheless. I left it while I shopped around the mall. The staff was friendly and very efficient. If you have a cheerleader, you need to go check out the merch at the Cheer Shoppe!!!”
“I visited this store on Sunday Dec 28 around 2
There was a young lady. I wish I would have gotten her name. Fantastic. I am trying to transition from a walking boot to a shoe
She spent so much time with me trying to find a shoe that I could fit my now huge foot in. I truly appreciated her efforts and patience
I hope she get acknowledged for her efforts”
“Ordered special embroided hats and Anthony and Nikki went above and beyond to help is with our needs. The hats turned out amazing to say the least and we will definitely be returning to order more in the future!! I HIGHLY recommend this location!!”
“Had a very pleasant today at this location. We usually shop at the Orland Park location, but decided to make the drive out here today. The store was crowded but employees were moving around fast. Our cashier, Zeynep D. was very helpful and friendly, she asked us if we needed gift receipts and even stapled them to each one of our items so they didn't get mixed up. Friendly employees and line moves quick. Great location!”
“This store is fabulous and Mia is absolutely incredible. Super accommodating and encouraging all around! Athletic wear can be awkward to shop for and know what works for you. Mia was so knowledgeable and truthful about what would work for me! Wouldn't shop anywhere else!”
“Great service! Got my scuba hemmed. Kim was very nice and helped me to find the one I wanted. The cashier was so kind; she gave me extra bag because I was holding so much stuff.”
“Bartlett Sports has been custom embroidering our scrub uniforms for over 10 years. They have top notch electronic machinery to create our intricate logos. Highly recommend.”
“The quality is fantastic. I ordered a size larger than I normally wear and it fits fine. My color choice was out of stock and ARO kept me informed about the timeline for a new batch of shirts. Highly recommended!”
“They took great care of me when I came in for an online order pickup that was out of stock. Issue resolved within minutes. I come out of my way from the Rockford area to come here for a reason, they are the best when it comes to anything soccer related. This place and the team deserves 10 stars.”
“I came to woodfield, before christmas to get presents for my family, I am writing these email, because i want to appreciate one of the employee working there, her name is Panthi . She did such a good job, she suggested me a gift for everyone in my family I came to Lululemon just to browse because i know that is very popular in young people but I did not know what to buy, she had me buy everything for different age people in my family, i brought few bags, shoes jackets and every winter coats, everyone loved there presents, I am writing this email because this employee is a star, she asked me few questions about what are the people like and found me perfect presents. she was so patient and so nice to me. I want there store manager to know she deserves a shoutout I would always come to store now and find her, and i told about her to all my friends and family. We will love to visit her often and buy more stuff from the store, I hope this email reaches the right person and she deserves a shout out!”
“Rubi, Maury, & Adrian were all awesome. My friend and I tried nearly 6 pairs a of shoes before we both bought the Hoka shoes that everyone has been talking about. They also gave us tons of other recommendations during our visit and remained patient with us the entire time.”
“I walked into that store hoping to feel the fabrics so I knew what to order online. As a person in a fat body I did not expect to feel welcome in the store. I was very wrong! I was greeted by TWO employees in body types like mine and I knew they would be help to help me with important questions about fit, wicking, etc. I didn’t feel out of place! The store did have some things in my size. Those girls were so helpful, easy to work with and fun too! They really made my shopping experience amazing. Representation matters!!!
Giving 4 stars instead of 5 ONLY because Fabletics, you should carry more 3x and 4x IN store.”
“Visited the Dick Pond location in Hoffman Estates after being a long-time patron of the Park Ridge location, and was incredibly impressed and pleased by the level of service and the selection of shoes. It’s been a few years since I’d been out running daily and knew that Dick Pond would be the spot to go for a new pair of trainers. I worked with Mark, who ultimately fitted me up in a pair of Brooks Glycerin 23s. Great shoes, and once again I will say that I had a wonderful experience. I will be back very soon! Thank you, Dick Pond!
6/25/26: Adding to my review as I've just worked with Stella on picking up a new pair of speed shoes. Mark helped transfer the two pairs of shoes I was interested in from one store to this location for my convenience. The service was so great I wound up taking home both pairs. Even picked up a new pair of shades! 😎 Once again, the service was top notch. I have no problem patronizing a small business, and shopping local. Thanks again!!”
