“They were extremely patient as we tried on at least 15 pairs of shoes and were very knowledgeable about the different types of rackets. Also appreciate how they weren’t just trying to make money; they told us not to get some things because it was unreasonably expensive for our level :)”
“Shopping here is always a breeze! The owner Mark is always ready to help, and it's an easy process to get fitted for the right shoe! Plus I love shopping at a small business knowing my money is staying in the community! Highly recommend Runner's High 'N Tri for walkers, runners, and anything in between!”
“The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dane did a great job walking me through the Fleet Feet foot scan and a number of shoe options based on my current training needs.”
“If you're in the market for any home fitness equipment, you owe it to yourself to contact Jonathan at Top Fitness (Vernon Hills)! I had the absolute best experience working with Jonathan and ultimately purchased a new Precor elliptical. Jonathan was incredibly patient and courteous - I asked sooooo many questions about the machine features, costs, warranties, support, etc. He answered all of them quickly and thoroughly without pressuring me into any decisions - just providing me with information I needed to make the best decision for me. I was initially planning to fix my existing elliptical, but with zero pressure from Jonathan, I very excitedly chose to buy a very good new one! Couldn't be more happy and appreciative of Jonathan's help.”

“I had a great experience, as always, at Road Runner Kildeer yesterday. Demetrice (I think I spelled it correctly) was amazing, patient and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes to get the right fit and replacement for my old shoes. I just love that the staff here is so helpful and friendly. Thanks, Road Runner!”
“Brandon Remele is his name. stop at the Schaumburg store.Brandon was able to teach me some things about my feet. That I did not know. Not only that, but his customer service was on point multiple options to choose from.Ultimately, I left very happy. Oh, and they have a 45 days guaranteed, you can't be that.”

“This place is just great. We’ve recently found them and have been there twice. Great selection of anything you need. Just picked up a great deal on some indoor shoes and daughter found a steal on some cleats. Super helpful and friendly.”
“Julian was super helpful and had great knowledge and insight with shoes for myself and husband! Took his time to ask us our concerns and what we were looking for! Will definitely come back and recommend to family and friends! Thanks!”
“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.”
“Fabulous customer service. And super friendly staff in the store. The cheer competition events preorder is almost always seemless.Please note - do not expect to go here expecting to purchase ICA cheer event merch, they are a separate company! I recommend doing the preorder for any competition.”
“The staff member I worked with was very knowledgeable and patient. He worked with me until I found the perfect style, size, and fit for my foot. It was a very relaxing and low pressure experience. Highly recommended!”
“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"”

“Wonderful store of outdoorsy items and great prices! I paid $20 for Eddie Bauer pants usually sold at $40. The staff was friendly and helpful when checking out. This is the perfect store for any outdoors/active person and I highly recommend stopping by!”
“My daughter plays catcher on a travel softball team and we were in the market for her own gear. It was nice to go into a store and get an informative explanation of the product. We also were in the market for a new bat and it was nice to be able to try out a few before purchasing. They also have competitive prices. This is the place we will go from now own for any equipment needs”
“Greatest source of sports clothing and attire for the local fan in all of Us. Shop no other!Alex and Staff are Courteous, Attentive and Always helpful and knowledgeable. The very best in products and selection.”
“Excellent. Got skates sharpened and picked up lace tightening hook. Staff was busy but attended my request within 2 minutes. They gave an accurate estimate of when my sharpened skate blades would be ready. I can back in about two hours and they were indeed ready. Very inexpensive rate for the sharpening.”
“Just picked up our order of hoodies and it came out perfect. I was working with Barb on the order and the level of customer service was outstanding. Quality is great and pricing very reasonable. Glad we could support a family owned business not and online giant.We will definitely use Ultimate Screen Printing for future projects.”
“Went in looking for a bike/recommendations on my needs. Staff in the bike department was very helpful, asked many questions about what I'd be using it for and how often and made suggestions based on my needs. I will say they are fairly expensive but you get what you pay for.”
“I exchanged a pair of shoes for a few items and when I left the total seemed off. I went back in and asked for help and the ladies behind the desk were very nice to me even though I was making a fuss over $10 (times are tough). The tax wasn’t adding up. I really appreciated that they tried to help me and were so kind. We need more people like that in the world.”
“As always friendly workers! They always greet you at the entrance and make sure you find what you’re looking for. Always a positive vibe in the store and it’s so organized! Makes it easy for you to find what you are looking for.”
“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!”
“Arthur and his whole team are absolutely the best. They will spend whatever time it takes to help you. He outfitted my wife and 2 kids 4 years ago and ever since and never had an issue and I’ll go nowhere else. When you are maybe a few miles up, maybe in heavy snow, nobody around, going 5 mph or 50+ mph, you need the right gear and perfectly fit and adjusted. Ski Haus will make sure you’re set.”
“Scott and Keith were awesome. Great customer service and took great care of me. I had an issue with my zipper and they hooked me up with a new jacket. Unbelievable. Great guys and great clothes. Highly recommended”
“Super knowledgeable and cared about running and ensuring we got the correct running shoes. Took a look at my sons balance and stride and listened to his concerns and picked out the shoes he should try. The knowledge itself was 5 stars, but the sincerity and friendly attitude made this a great place and a great small business to support. We were visiting, but if they were in Virginia I would never go anywhere else.”

“REI! This place is like Costco for outdoors people! You always say you're going to go in and buy one thing and then you walk out a couple hundred dollars poorer at the end of the experience! The salesperson that helped me was very knowledgeable and pointed me in the right direction. If you are a member you can get a deep discount using your dividend points and also the REI return section is a great place where you can find great deals as well. Overall I give REI a five out of five stars for ambience, selection of products, knowledgeable staff, and reasonable prices. Until next time this is Robbie the Review Guy wishing you success on all of life's adventures!”
“Better than Bass Pro.Easily the greatest fishing store around. Dare I say it... better than Bass Pro Shops. While it may look unassuming from the outside, it probably has more and better options than BPS. Owner is also a super nice and extremely knowledgeable guy. Not at all pushy-- helped me through a lot of questions as I am getting into a new kind of fishing and set me up real nicely. Definitely coming back often.”
“The guys at Route 12 Artic are great. They've made a few repairs on my older Artic wheeler for me on a couple of different occasions. Each time they have been knowledgeable, helpful and reliable. They are my first choice for repairs.”
