“I've now gotten 4 dresses/gowns for 4 of my most special occasions from Berta Sawyer. My most recent purchase is for my son's upcoming wedding. Their inventory is extensive and unique. Their staff always makes me feel like I'm their only customer and really do listen to their customers needs.. I highly recommend the store, the staff and especially their inventory.”
“We have been purchasing product from Kampus Clothes through our little league for years and we’re always satisfied with it. But they exceeded my expectations by filing an order for our family separately when we had missed the ordering of championship shirt for my son. They were easy to communicate with and very accommodating! We would very highly recommend working with this company!”
“Incredible experience!! Can’t recommend enough. I’m not a runner, had no idea what I was looking for and knew nothing about sneakers but needed supportive shoes for nursing school. You would never find expertise the way you do here at a large chain store!! The woman who helped us literally knew everything and it was such an easy process. I also happened to walk in during a midday rush and she was able to manage 3-4 people all at once without skipping a beat which I know must have been a challenge! Shop local it’s worth it!”
“I have bought several Fitbits from Heart Rate Monitors USA Inc over the last few years. They are local to me which makes it a great way to support a local business AND their prices and shipping are competitive to any online store you can find. Plus, they sent discount coupons too!”
“One of the best shopping experiences Ive had in Philadelphia. Jacob was so kind, informative, thoughtful, friendly, and really knew his stuff. I brought a pair of shoes here and after I got home, I had doubts about the fit.I decided to go back to the store to see if I could find something that suited me better. As soon as I entered the store, I was immediately welcomed by Jacob, who was super kind and really knowledgeable. Based on my needs, he gave me awesome recommendations and even told me tips toextend the life of the shoes. Overall, he was awesome. I definitely would be back to buy more pairs of sneakers here and I felt like they didn’t just wanna make a sale, but they were really looking out from the best interest of my feet. Thank you so much.”
“great place to buy a bicycle! Was a little kid 45 years ago and my daddy, Ron Watt of the Bike Works motorcycle shop (Ron Watt passed away last February and the Bike Works at 25 Easton Rd. has been closed for some time now) bought me a Schwinn BMX bike. Great memories and passed the bicycle shop to and from the Bike Works every day for decades. Suzanne, Ron's wife, also passed away over a year ago.”
“I visited Born To Run in October 2024, after a coworker recommended I check out the store while I was looking for a new pair of running shoes. With Hilary’s (and her sweet dog’s!) help, I bought a pair of Saucony Triumphs. Now that I’ve put some mileage on them over the past months, I’m ready to leave a review.
Having just started running in March 2024 and moving to Philadelphia from out of state in August 2024, it’s safe to say that I had absolutely no idea what I was looking for in a new pair of running shoes. My visit to Hilary’s store was my first time buying a pair of running shoes—before that, I’d just been using my all-around walking shoes. Hilary was generous enough to share her time, knowledge, and expertise with me. First, she had me do a running test to figure out where my feet were striking the ground. Then, she gathered an assortment of many shoes, and guided me through trying them on. She even educated me about shoe sizing—and I learned that I’d be better off wearing a half size smaller than I was previously used to. I landed on a pair of Saucony Triumphs. Throughout the process, Hilary was friendly and kind. When she learned I’d just moved to Philadelphia from out of state, she even recommended some local running groups I could get involved with to help me find a sense of community with other runners in the area.
Months later, after having run in the Saucony Triumphs for a while, I’m quite happy with my purchase. The shoes took a while to break in, but once broken in, they transitioned into a smooth ride. I’ve been especially pleased with Hilary’s recommendation to go a half size down from what I’d normally wear. I’ve never been known for my athleticism—I’m pretty clumsy and can tend to wobble a bit while running. I’ve found, though, that the half size smaller shoes hold a bit tighter to my foot—while still giving them enough space to breathe—and helps to stabilize me while I’m running. That was quite the pleasant surprise!
All around, I was thoroughly happy with my experience working with Hilary at Born To Run. While I’ve since moved back to the state I originally moved to Philadelphia from, I would support Born To Run again in a heartbeat if I still lived in the area. Keep up the great work, Hilary—you helped this new runner find his way about the trail, and that’s much appreciated!”
“Super helpful. They let me test throw every dart I was interested in. Even the ones in the packages. They know their darts and helped this newbie pick out a good set.”
“My students traveled from Hershey, PA to receive top-notch attention from Swan Dance Wear knowledgeable and encouraging team. Determined to find the perfect first pair of pointe shoe for each dancer, they left no stone unturned. The staff's positivity and expertise made the entire experience uplifting and memorable. Every dancer found their ideal match and is looking forward to their new journey!”
“Excellent selection of all types of soccer kits and club training gear. Great customer service, knowledgeable and friendly. Best soccer store in the region hands down!”
“Great selection and friendly staff! They had the Chucks I like at a very fair price, so, thanks for that.Loads of options for dress, work, sports, and relaxation. Pretty much footware for all occasions that you may want things on your feet for.”
“Had the best experience yesterday with Susannah! She went above and beyond to help my sister find new bras that made her feel comfortable and confident. She had great knowledge about the products in store and brought out so many different styles and sizes for my sister to try on so that she could find the best one. Did not catch the manager on duty’s name unfortunately, but shoutout to her as well for going out of her way to check drawers and the back for a pair of shorts I was interested in and then reminded me that I can get free shipping by ordering in store! Great store, great employees. Will be back!!”
“Great spot to grab local Philly sports jerseys, hats, sneakers, cleats, bags, balls, bats, gloves, field hockey, lacrosse, tennis, backyard games, pickleball, and more! We appreciate their dedication to our community and support of youth sports. Thanks Tom and team.”
“I purchased two sets of hotronic heated socks from the warming store on Jan 7 for my trip to Canada on Jan 12. I put a note in my order asking them to ship asap because I need these before the 12th for my trip to lake Louise ( it was going to be -40 degrees there! ) The store was so nice they shipped my package the same day in separate packages to make sure I'd receive it on time. 100% recommended !”
“Couldn’t have done a better job. Definitely recommend especially with the customer service that you receive. From the minute you walk in and to the time that you get the items. The service is worth every penny. My end products with all items I received are great! Thank you.”
“When I was a kid my mother brought under garment from the Mills. now that I'm an adult I buy my son's long johns socks and drawers also tank tops winter hats and gloves”
“Best place ever to get jerseys done or updated. They turned my #3 Hunter Pence into Bryce Harper, #17 Jeff Carter into Wayne Simmonds and just last week took a blank Phillies road grey and put on #10 J.T. Realmuto and took my Sixers #25 and replaced that clown with my last name. Amazing job!!!!!!!”
“Great selection of product. A little disorganized so it was hard to find a few things. Thought the pricing was good, for the amount of stuff I got. Didn't really encounter any employees but it's more of a shelf service place. Could use more jewelry though.”
“The customer service was exemplary. From the young lady who gave us a warm welcome, the 2 young men that helped us with our selection, the associate who blessed us with a discount ?, and the pleasant cashier. Sadiq (i may have spelled his name wrong) but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. ????????”
“I haven't played badminton for a few years and decided to check out this place. I'm impressed by how large the space is. I came on a Friday night and not all the courts were filled up, plenty of space. There were even a few tables for ping pong, plus a weight room. The only thing I found inconvenient is that some courts on the edge are against the wall, so you need to be careful not to hit your racket against it. The cost was $15 for an open play session and I got in a few random doubles games as an individual. The players were nice and I'd cone back again.”
“This store is great. Im thankful because I needed the school shirt s for my kids. I found out they sell school shirts here because of the school shirts outside, them shirts were helpful .I think they should hang more phs and the other school shirts so people could know they sell them.”
“Great in store experience,appreciated A.M Jay’s expertise and professionalism he’s very knowledgeable in products and engaging,loved all his suggestions and recommendations made my shopping experience a good one.Keep up the amazing work!”
“Not yet, but I always like to see your uniforms on ppl. I got my security guard company . I was curious to shop around for a complete set .to create uniforms for my guys.I'm sure they would like it as well. My eyes is very pleaseI feel like I can count on your products. Do I have a discount if I show you guys my Eim numbers ?”
“My son played college hockey. Now he plays in a league at Wissahickon Skating Club. This is a very nice rink with a lot of history. They have beautiful warming room with great view of the rink. They also have a great pro shop. Really nice people.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Arielle today, she was so helpful and kind. AE is lucky to have such a strong wonderful woman working for them. There was another young lady, I didn’t get her name, but she was so helpful and personable as well. Such a fabulous staff.”
“My organization recently partnered with The Runaround Store to purchase Spirit Wear for our PTA fundraisers, and I am thoroughly impressed with their service. From the moment I contacted Mike, he exhibited great customer service, excellent communication, and exceptional helpfulness in sourcing and finding the perfect options for all our spirit wear needs.The entire process, from placing the order to receiving the items, was incredibly seamless. The team at The Runaround Store made sure every detail was taken care of, ensuring a hassle-free experience for us.If you're in search of a reliable supplier for Spirit Wear or any apparel needs for your school, I highly recommend The Runaround Store. They are a fantastic company to partner with, and I look forward to working with them on our future orders. Thank you for your outstanding service!”
“Was looking for Schwarbomb and Schwarbarian Tee Shirts. You did not have in the store. Was pleased that your people offered to order for me. Very nice and courteous personnel.”
“I wish I had gotten the name of the sales associate that helped me, but talk about a breath of fresh air! I received the most wonderful customer service. She literally picked out my new winter coat and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you!”
“I love this place! I first discovered it a couple of years ago when I needed good running shoes, and I’ve been going back ever since. This year, I even took both of my kids to the store. The staff is knowledgeable and sweet. They really know their stuff and do it well.Before you’re measured, they ask you to walk normally to assess your gait. Then, they measure your feet and offer a selection of three different brands to choose from. If you have a preference for a specific brand, you can discuss it with the store rep.I like to ask a lot of questions about running shoes, and I always get great answers. There’s never any pressure to buy the most expensive shoes or anything like that. I highly recommend this store to all runners. It’s a great experience every time!”
