“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.”
“I loved their free diagnostic exam for my feet, it helped me confirm and discover a lot of points about my necessities regarding my personal way of walking and feet structure. Staff is very helpful and guided me through diverse shoe models evaluation, they listen to you and give you the best type of shoe you need. Definitely recommend coming and take the exam so you know what's best for your feet even if you work retail.”
“I purchased a pair of ski boots from here before heading back out to Colorado. I've never felt so comfortable and confident in a pair of boots. My entire skill set changed in a properly fitted pair of boots. Thank you so much to Jakob for taking the time (over an hour!) to help me find and feel comfortable in a pair of boots. He went above and beyond by trying out different heel risers and inserts so they felt comfortable.I can't say enough great things about this business, would absolutely recommend!Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Ken is the real deal and extremely dedicated to his clients. Although I could have easily shopped locally over 1,000 miles away, I chose to give Ken my business because he earned it, he was the first to respond to my inquiry and responsive to any emails or messages I sent him. Thank you Ken, keep up the great work!”
“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.”
“What a wonderful shopping experience. My 8 year old son wanted a particular Chicago Bears jersey, and I could find it absolutely nowhere aside from Clark Street Sports. Great job all!!!”

“Went in for some grips. They didn’t have the exact one I needed. So the gentleman gave me a comparable one for free to try out. That was really nice to do and very much appreciated. I will be back this week to pick up the other 7 grips. Thanks again.”
“Brandon was great helping my son figure out what he needed to get started in airsoft. We purchased a gun, mask and vest and the prices were good. He also went over how to load and work the gun. Thanks so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“As a big fan and player of hockey, I love visiting smaller local shops. Gunzo's is always a must when I'm in the Chicago area. Great atmosphere and a true passion for the game!”
“Wow! I just had such an amazing experience with the staff at King Keyser. They were so helpful in getting me fitted with my new Lange Shadows that are absolutely to die for. Rick the owner is the man! He’s an expert in the helicopter skiing industry and can answer all your questions about it if you’re interested.”
“I recently (May 9th) purchased a pair of workout shoes from Running Excel and found the experience genuinely refreshing. Beverly, the owner, was both warm and patient as she guided me through her extensive selection. She meticulously showed me at least 12 pairs of shoes and even took the time to measure my feet and observe my walking style, ensuring the pair I selected had the right type of arch support.
The personalized service truly stood out. Beverly’s attention to detail made the entire process feel tailored to my needs, and I appreciated how her expertise helped me confidently make a final selection. While my experience was excellent overall, the review reflects a 4-star rating simply because there’s always room for a little extra refinement—perhaps a few more style options or a slightly faster process might make the visit even more exceptional.
I’m a customer for life at Running Excel; when it comes to workout shoes, this is my go-to store. The friendly, detail-oriented service really set the bar, and I look forward to my next visit.”
“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”
“Chicago Bills Ultimate Golf is a fantastic golf store with guys who know the game! They are super courteous and felt like I knew them forever. I will definitely be back for all of my golf needs.”
“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!”
“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!)”
“Great customer service. The gentleman educated my son on the different types of tennis racquets and showed him various models to fit his style of play. He gave us a great deal on a racquet that my son absolutely loves.”
“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.”
“Beautifully curated athletic wear with solid brands. I had to stop myself before spending all my monies. I cannot wait to be back and get a hoodie and running shoes!”
“I have to give a big thank you to TPS Team Gear and Nick Heiden! My husband ordered a hat. It never came. He called spoke with Nick. Nick hand delivered a new hat to us and left it on the porch… on Dec 23rd so we would have it for Christmas. A donation company came about 15 minutes later and took the hat along with the donation items. Upon hearing this, Nick sent another new hat. No one replaces things for free anymore especially when it isn’t their fault. Thanks TPS and Nick! Such great customer service = lasting customers! We’ll be ordering from you again soon!”
“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”
“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.”
“Loved the environment in the store. As a collector of both sports cards/ memorabilia and hats I felt like they had a great selection! The store manager Thalia was a great help and showed great customer service as well! I’m happy to say now that I have found a store that can fulfill all my needs!!”
