“Paul is awesome! Brought stuff from out of season basement to be purchased and even helped to make sure the purchase was correctly calculated based on a variety of a sale items.”
“I’ve been coming here for my last 5 or 6 pairs of running shoes. I enjoy the customer service and the opportunity to try pairs on compared to shopping online. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable but not pushy, and stock is generally very good for the store’s size. Prices are high and sales seem few and far between but that is not unique to this store, more of a problem with the 2026 running gear market in general. Shoutout to Ruby who was very helpful today in helping me pick out a pair of Brooks. All in all I would recommend this store to any runner in mpls!”
“UPDATE: MCR very quickly showed me why they’re so beloved. Within hours, they reached out to me and have gone out of their way to make things right. Anyone quick to critique must also be quick to praise. One-offs happen, and I look forward to giving them more business in the future. I was thrilled to visit the shop within minutes of opening for an ACG clothing release today. I picked two items off the rack, tried them on in the fitting room, and approached the register. Upon ringing me up, I was informed both items had already been allocated to online orders and that they would not sell them to me. It would seem ~100% of physical inventory was allocated to the website despite the effort made by Nike and MCR on the in-person shopping buildout (a custom facade for the front of the store, signage, etc). If you want to buy something from MCR on its launch day, don’t waste your time going to the store when it opens — Buy it online, because that’s who they cater to. Advice to MCR: Keep online and in-store stock separate for a day, or at least until the afternoon. Inventory management systems mistakes still happen though— Your brick-and-mortar shopper with items in-hand and on-body should supersede online orders 100% of the time. Cancelling an order to someone’s face after they walked all the way into your storefront is wild.”
“~~~ Diverse styles, excellent service from Austin which let me try many things quickly - and he understood the look I hoped for. Affordable - designated parking lot - and hemming service. Awesome! ~~~”
“Man like, I get people dissing my board and stuff but then I dont have the monyes dawg, I just came here the skate park, but like I would go here to get my board or snowboard fixed up or get a new one there cuz this place is dope man. I came here for the indoor park, would come back for the indoor park and new board. And they got like a mini park for your tech deck, and this place is good if you got the social anxieities cuz like I do and aint nobody bother me and everybody chill and stuff.”
“I went in to buy new running shoes and spent over an hour trying on different brands until I felt that I had the most comfortable ones for my feet. I'm not sure the name of who was helping me but she was wonderful! The staff is kind and knowledgeable. I'll be back when I need to purchase a new pair of running shoes.”
“I’m new to distance running and needed to invest in some better running shoes. The guy who helped me was so helpful and approachable, and answers all of my long list of questions. Super excited to run in my new shoes!!”
“The staff is so helpful and knowledgeable for getting us the gear we need and answering our questions. Always appreciate their help! One of my daughters is a goalie and I need all the help I can get to make sure she is good to go.”
“I went to the St. Louis Park location knowing it had a warehouse, in hope of purchasing a massage chair and taking it home that day. I spoke with Greg Grillo and he showed me the many massage chairs they have on the floor. He is very kind and knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my needs. I ended up purchasing a Synca Circ and I absolutely love it! It has helped with my back pain and sore muscles post workout. Thank you, Greg, for your patience and guidance in helping me find the perfect massage chair for me!”
“Great selection, friendly and helpful staff. A bit pricey however selection of items/sizes and being able to get a couple things for gifts helped me decide to proceed with purchase. Glad I did! The receiver of the jacket and vest loved them!”
“Own 7 iron through lob wedge of Wedgewood clubs. Once you get used to the slightly heavier club, you'll find yourself hitting the ball higher with a more solid feel. Other golfers keep asking me where I got the clubs. The only minus of the clubs is the headcovers -- they are not very durable. A couple of mine have frayed badly.”
“There's no reason to ever visit the big chain A-holes when good people run good shops like this! Service and prices also blew my balls off! Lucky Bloomington!”
“The staff at Gear Running Store are incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. The person helping me asked me about my workout goals to narrow down my selection to a few excellent options, and then he had me run around the block in a few pairs of shoes to make sure they were comfortable. I feel very confident in my purchase, and I’ll be recommending Gear to anyone who needs new running shoes.”
“I’ve gone to Golf USA for grips, clubs, and just about everything else, and I’ve always had a great experience. Tom is extremely knowledgeable, and his pricing is just as good as the big-box stores or online retailers—plus you know you’re getting authentic products, not knockoffs. I recommend Golf USA to everyone. Tom even helped me navigate a warranty issue, and that kind of service is something you won’t find anywhere else without a fight. Outstanding shop and even better customer care.”
“Sales experience was good. Logan was very accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful. Since the sale two days ago, have not back from the company, which was supposed to contact me about delivery, so…still waiting”
“Huge store with aquarium, Ferris wheel, huge Lego section and lots of sports equipment. Wish all the tags had prices on them (some didn't) and when they did, they were right (real price was sometimes different significantly from label).”
“HQ located in Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka Minnesota is hands down the coolest sports store to buy Vikings jerseys, other types of paraphernalia for the Minnesota Twins karma golden Gophers, Minnesota Wild and the Timberwolves. They have replica helmets, jerseys, autographed memorabilia, photos, baseballs, and clothing for adults as well as children just to name a few items that they carry. The owner Shawn is extremely knowledgeable in this area and can help you find whatever you're looking for. It's the perfect place to buy a gift for someone in your life who loves the Minnesota sports teams. They are also well known for all the autograph events that they have. They bring in celebrities throughout the sports world including players on all the professional sports teams in Minnesota as well as some retired athletes like Brett Favre. They have a calendar of events and it's very easy to be involved and get one of your items signed. I believe they also do photo opportunities along with that. Fan HQ has also done some cool music events in town including an evening with Lita Ford from the runaways, Ace Frehley of kiss, Tommy Thayer of kiss, Bruce Kulick of kiss and other amazing musicians. If you've never been to the store you need to stop and visit. At the very least find them on socials and follow them for all the incredible events that they host”
“This soccer shop is the best soccer shop in Minnesota. The store has many recent and past club kits including MNUFC, Liverpool, Burnley, Manchester City, and Tottenham. The store also had many other soccer related products which were amazing. The owner was very kind, very nice to talk to, and the best part is that he is from England and actually watches soccer. If I could give this store more than five stars I would.”
“Got to say best place to grab your Japanese lures and other bass tackle in store. Great customer service and people all around hands down recommending friends and families to go there.”
“I love everything about Baseball 365, great service, always willing to talk to you and help you find out what you need. Would go out of my way to make sure I purchase stuff from this store.”
“Fantastic experience shopping for a new pickleball paddle. Their staff is very knowledgeable and helped me work through a number of demo paddles to get to the right one. Their selection of paddles is incredible, and the demo program is extensive. Highly recommend this shop for their pickleball expertise and equipment selection.”
“Kelly @ Aqua-Vu provided top customer service. Aqua-Vu's support and quick response has made me a customer for life. I want to commend the team there for proving that great customer service still exists and if you are considering an underwater camera.... my vote is Aqua-Vu!”
“I've never written a Google review before, but feel compelled to do so for General Sports because of the incredible service I've experienced there over the years. Simply put, the people at General Sports are THE hockey skate experts in the Twin Cities (they're undoubtedly among the best in Minnesota, and it's probably not too much of a stretch to call them among some of the best in the country). Ever since my first skate fitting by Matt Haapala many years ago I have recommended General Sports to my friends, and I won't go anywhere else for anything skate-related. The entire staff: Matt, Dallas, Brendan.... they know their stuff inside-and-out, stand by their products and the services they provide, and care about the experience you have on the ice. Do yourself a favor and shop at General Sports.”
“I worked with Owen and was fitted with new leg pads glove and blocker. He was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and not pushy. I would not go anywhere else for goalie gear.”
“I have been using Innovative Graphics for a few years to order work clothes for my crew and myself. Tim Hanson is always my rep, and I have received nothing but first class service every time. Quick email responses, great suggestions on clothing for our work environment, and competitive pricing. I only intend to use Tim in the future. Thanks for making ordering uniforms an easy task each spring and fall, Innovative Graphics!”
“Great staff! The owner was a very pleasant gentleman to talk to and he was extremely knowledgeable about the sport of soccer. Nice selection of merchandise from the Premiere League, German Bundesliga, and Serie A.”
“Benjamin T. at Pierce single-handedly saved my daughter's ski racing season. My daughter's ankle was very painful in her current ski boots, and I didn't think she'd be able to ski very much for her teams for the rest of the year. We went to Pierce and Benjamin fit her into an appropriate ski boot. He then molded the boot to offload the painful spot on her ankle. When we left the store my daughter smiled and said this is the best my foot has felt in ski boots all year.”
“Katie is a phenomenal sales employee with an unparalleled attitude for finding a client what they need. I went in there on my lunch break to find a gift for my roommate, and Katie assisted me in picking out the perfect Roadie 15 Cooler for him. Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Will definitely be back”
“Our favorite REI store location and have been coming here for many years. Today though, Nola went above and beyond! She helped us with our pack fittings to prepare us for our 100 mile hike this summer. She spent a long time with us and gave us a ton of tips for adjusting our packs on the go. THANK YOU NOLA! ??”
“Good communication with customer service. I was provided with a lot of feedback and my questions were answered in a timely manner even though my intended purchase was relatively small in value.”
The outdoor retailer plans to open a 100,000-square-foot store in College Station, Texas, in 2028. It'll sit along State Highway 6, north of William D. Fitch Parkway, next to a Costco and in front of the future South College Station baseball and softball complex. On Sept. 24, the College Station City Council approved a $10.84 million sale of 28 acres in a unanimous vote. Bass Pro gets about 14 acres for its store. Dallas-based Corinth Properties will build a mixed-use project with restaurants and an event plaza on the other 14.
