“Walked in without having done any research and left with new skis, boots and bindings to bring on a trip the very next day. To say this equipment was life changing is an understatement - I had NO idea just how much difference it would make in my ability, form, confidence, stability, etc. All thanks to Goskand for taking the time to listen, make thoughtful recommendations, outfit me SAME DAY, and little things like trimming the insoles and placing them in the boots before I left. I’ll be sending my husband next!”
“I got new running shoes this week. The assessment and service were great! I’m so happy with the shoes I purchased. I will definitely be back to the Lincoln-square location.”
“Soooooo delicious! The pizza is actually amazing — it feels like a special experience with all these complex flavors and the perfect crispy crust! The service is top notch and the vibe is super fun! There are free arcade games in the back and board games you can play while you’re eating too! Can’t wait to come back!”
“Great store. Creative products! Excellent customer service. Highly recommend. You can't beat this store, either in Wrigleyville or on-line!! Take some time and visit their site. So original and great quality!”
“The two gentlemen working here were very friendly and knowledgeable. My mom left with a beautiful, engraved bowling ball and bag. They had a decent selection of bowling balls and accessories.”
“Tom is always a pleasure to work with. He mailed board covers for the gift my family got her two years ago. The boards he made are still in great condition and continue to please! 10/10!!! 🧡”
“I've visited this store a couple of times—once to purchase a gift card and more recently to pick up some items for a die-hard Cubs fan friend of mine. The store is clean, welcoming, and well laid out, with just about everything a sports fan could ever want.
My friend and I now live in Florida, so it was special to bring a little piece of Wrigley Field to him. The gentleman who helped me at checkout was friendly, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. He made me feel like I was at home and like I had been a longtime customer.
Great customer service is becoming harder and harder to find these days, but you'll definitely experience it at Clark Street Sports. On top of the outstanding service, their merchandise is well-priced. I highly recommend stopping in if you're looking for quality sports memorabilia and a great shopping experience.”

“I stopped in to purchase a weight system today and had a great experience. Ken Maxie provided the best customer service that I have received in a long time. He was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!”
“My first time in this store , it has a nice selection of jerseys and cleats .The lady was very pleasant , I dropped my jersey off so they can put a name and number . Sure, check it out , why not .”
“Great store in the neighborhood for all-things racquet sports. Solid selection of tennis, pickle, and other racquets, as well as service & re-string in a jiffy at great prices. Owner is an awesome guy, HIGHLY recommend it!”
“Love Grandstand. The best place for a wide selection of Chicago White Sox gear. They have other Chicago sports teams as well, but I mainly focus on the Sox. Huge selection of everything.
The only negitive I'll give them is they aren't open late, or after Sox night games.”
“Stopped in today to get new sneakers, and had a great experience.
It’s been a year since my last purchase at Peak. I have had 3 iterations of the same shoes that I loved. I expected to just update to the latest version of the same shoes. Megan brought a pair of shoes out and the newest version was not comfortable.
I explained what I didn’t like about the newest sneaker. Megan found me two great alternatives. She then grabbed a laptop and walked me through all the color options to ensure I was happy with my purchase.
I will back for more shoes and gear in the future.”
“Excellent service. My jacket’s zipper was broken and my cleaners told me I needed a whole new zipper, which would take 10 days and a lot of money. These guys did a fix for free in 10 minutes! 10/10”
“Have worked with this company for the last couple years to have personalized jackets made for our employees. The Hildebrand team is great to work with, and our staff love the jackets! We will continue to order from Hildebrand Sporting Goods every year!”
“Chris is the best in the biz!! Seriously I don’t trust anyone else when it comes to running shoes and gear. He truly cares about making sure you find the right fit and is always so kind and helpful!”
“genuinely thought my feet were too wide to find a shoe and run again without injury. false! this is a great place to have a comprehensive fitting with a treadmill. shop local!”
“I have been a customer since 1995. Great place for all your Hockey needs. Excellent one on one customer service. Skate sharpening, minor repairs ability and an extensive equipment inventory make this a great store. I have bought multiple ice hockey skates, inline skates, and figure skates for my kid at this store.”
“When I was a kid I sometimes got dropped off at my aunt’s house in LaGrange, and my little cousin and I would skateboard here bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, dying to get a glimpse at some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the display case or buy a few packs or cards of our own. Yes Steven has that very dry sense of humor and droll attitude that some people might not like, but that’s PART of Steven’s experience! He’s never mean. We LOVED going and talking to him, sometimes he would get a little aggravated with us and we would turn to each other and giggle, and he would talk to us about the card game and help us understand things. If I could go back in time and relive those core memories I would without a second guess, times were much simpler when we skateboarded down the street to Steven’s. He also taught us a lot of invaluable lessons! One I still use to this day! (Read the fine print on eBay listings, they’ll send you an empty box if they can!)”
“this dude is polite and very good at letting you know prices and you can call to check id there are any specific ones u want, Highly recommend anyone in this place to shop and buy your stuff”
“Great service awesome shirts/sweatshirts any design I give them they can copy or create and put on anything for a great price. Any color clothing and any color print whatever you want they will figure out a way to do it. Will definitely continue using them and referring as much as possible”
“Highly recommend this Play it again sports for all your athletic and fitness equipment needs, their battling cages in the back, and custom apparel made! I have taken my kids in for volleyball knee pads, ice skates, soccer cleats, shin guards, etc, and weights for myself. The staff is always friendly and eager to help you find what you are looking for.
As a business owner, I use their battling cage space in the back for mom and me classes. They are so welcoming and accommodating to me and our families.
Lastly, just used them to make custom hoodies for our members and they did a great job! They were reasonably priced, great quality, and were available quickly. This business, owner, and staff are great!”
“We’ve been to 4 other bike shops today looking for an E Bike for my mom. Met with mediocre customer service from all shops until we found Kozy! Luis was incredible! So nice, not pushy, and so quick to answer questions and get us exactly what we were looking for. We’ll definitely be back to this shop for all future bike needs! We weren’t even looking to actually buy one today but we ended up walking out of the door with one. Shows how far great customer service can go. Thanks again Luis and team in the service department!”
“I needed some vests embroidered for my business, Manic Maids. It was a small run, so I wasn’t sure if some would just do a handful of items. I called around and reached out to Mario. He was quick to answer my questions, gave me a reasonable quote, and made it easy to email my artwork over. I dropped off the vests and embroidery was done within 24 hours. It looks great - just what I needed. They took credit card, which was a plus. I’d use them again for sure. They were good to work with.
As a side note, they had some really cool embroidery and screen printing examples in the office. It looks like they can do some impressive stuff.”
“I had to stop at City Sports to get me a ball cap. Thats like the number one thing for me to do when I go out of town. I found a real cool Chicago Cubs New Era cap with a red bill. The store owner was really cool and gave me a little discount since a brotha was from out of town. I wish the Chi town drivers were a little more accomodating but hay.lol”
“We loved our experience! We went for a bulls game! It was great! Awesome seats loved that we ordered food from our phones and it was brought right to us quickly. The staff were very friendly and the venue was clean.”
“Brittany and Jordana were very helpful and had amazing customer service. I purchased 2 pairs of shoes at closing time and they were very patient and enthusiastic. I came back the next day for my third pair.”
“I came in the shop ready to finally invest in my own pair of hockey skates. The overall vibe in the shop was great! The staff at this Gunzos location was knowledgeable and friendly. The young man who helped me with my skates was patient, attentive, provided expertise, and ensured that I got skates that fit well. My purchase of skates included a skate bake and an initial sharpening. I highly recommend anyone looking for quality hockey equipment in the city to check out this store. I will be sure to return for my additional sharpening and any other ice skating needs. They also had a great supply of Blackhawks merch as well!”
“Found some good, comfortable, nice pants for a low price. The lady who was helping me is so very helpful. They sell clothes and jewelry. Definitely will be going back to this store tomorrow. They're located inside, right next to the nail salon.”
“It's been a very, very long time since I've been in the store because I don't live close by anymore. But the store and the humility of the staff has never changed. My current experience - as well as past - was the best. The owner and staff were very friendly and courteous - exactly the way they were when I was here years ago. What made this even better is that they had the shoes that I've been looking at online in my size. I walked out happy again. It was worth the long drive to just check out the store again. I wish you guys a lot of continued success. Thank you for the wonderful experience again. I'll make sure to come back in the future.”
“I took my not-always-cooperative young shopper with me today to get new shoes for him and the service couldn’t have been better. From start to finish the process was easy, the staff were (as always) friendly, and we left with the correct size, which was different from the size I had thought he needed. I couldn’t resist a new pair of Goodrs for myself as well. :) Thanks, Lively, for being a dependable OP store with great customer service.”
