“I was so pleased to find this wonderful little gem, with its esoteric collection of fly tying materials at very fair prices. At first glance this shop doesn’t look like much, but that’s because unlike more modern retail spaces set up to optimize display, its interior is densely packed with well organized materials storage (see pics). As noted on the sign out front, “hours are by appointment or by chance,” but given that I managed to pop by on a Monday without ringing ahead and picked up a number of little things I needed - including dubbing wax, poly post materials, thread, and some little tying tools - for less than I would have paid at a big name shop, I was both very pleased and convinced that I’ll be returning (though next time I’ll call ahead). There’s also a nice selection of new and used rods and reels for the angler who needs more. Definitely worth a visit.”

“Big shoutout to Rob and Liam for helping me buy my first personal fishing rod! No more borrowing from pops! I felt very welcome in the store. They have wonderful people there who have tried the products, are experienced in fishing, and a quality selection. I picked up a 8ft rod combo (M-H) that is versatile for land and boat fishing. I spent around $175 but they cut me some slack on pricing due to being a new customer. Thank you for passing on some of your fishing wisdom and also giving me a beautiful combo. I will be practicing the Alberto knot I was shown in the store.”

“White glove service. Fitz Sized a bike for me and offered The opportunity to try it out in the neighborhood. He helped me with a helmet and lights and a bike rack. The bike seems perfect for me and I was easily able to remove it from the bike rack of my car when I arrived home. I had so much fun riding that bike. Wish I had bought one sooner. I felt like a little kid at Christmas. Even though it’s December, I will be out riding tomorrow, Confident that I have Everything I need for a fun time. Thank you so much for the Expert help.”
“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!”
“I have owned Streamlight flashlights for decades. I have all types from tactical firearm mounted ones, to pocket lights, to full size rechargeable ones. They have always performed great and are incredibly bright! I also want to give a shout out to say how awesome their customer service is. I lost a clip off of one of my small lights and called to purchase a replacement. They were very helpful and are shipping a replacement one out tomorrow. It is things like this that makes customers for life.”
“Excellent customer support! I initially thought I had received a incomplete order, when in fact, I had failed to order everything I needed. Jeff Woertz personally took care of communication with the manufacturer, found out the product I needed, confirmed it was in stock and explained the whole thing to me. I really appreciated the personal human touch.”
“We purchased a football helmet from these guys recently. We’re in Australia and finding a Schutt F7 Air in the correct colour was impossible. A few clicks and only six days later, helmet arrives! All the way from the US. Correct size. Correct colour. Excellent customer service and prompt email replies. I can’t speak highly enough about the team at Sports Unlimited. Thanks again, guys!”
“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.”
“Great place to purchase discounted Dick's Sporting Goods items, mostly clothing. I purchased a golf colored shirt that was regularly priced at $68.00, for only $2.87!!! My wife purchased a sun dress regularly priced at $135.00 for $13.67!!! We left the store with a large bag of clothes for only $67!”
“Three weeks ago, I had a positive experience at this store due to the exceptional service. Unfortunately, proximity issues led me to Willow Grove, which failed to meet my expectations, resulting in a regrettable decision. Consequently, I will not be shopping at this store again. However, the North Wales store team demonstrated exceptional service skills, particularly Keria, Eva, and Shane. Their efforts are appreciated, and I commend them for their outstanding service, looking forward to my next visit.”
“I’ve been getting my cards graded here for around 2 years. Everyone is really nice and really helped me understand which cards to grade and what not to grade. Great business, would recommend to anyone looking into sports card collecting hobby.”
“Go there for all my sporting needs. Been going to Bobby for 20 years. If he doesn't have it, he can get it, or knows another local place that has what your looking for.”
“I brought in my younger brother who doesn’t know how to ride a bike and was a little nervous picking out a bike and trying it out. The worker who helped us was very friendly and encouraging and helped him feel a little more confident!”
“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!”

“Bought a glove for my son. And the shipping address was different from my billing address for some reason. I got ahold of the customer service and they fixed the problem I made real fast. The glove was delivered in 2 days to the right location. Outstanding customer service. Well be ordering more.”
“We stopped here for a pair of fight shorts due to the fact that my son flew FROM HAWAI'I to PA for a pro MMA bout but forgot his shorts across the country ?. The sensei that owned the place showed us so much aloha. He took everything out from merchandise to find ly sons size. Unfortunately, he did not have his size- but nonetheless, he really wanted to help us. We truly appreciate Aloha being served in Pennsylvania. Mahalo! ??”
“Came here to look at walking pads. The staff in this Dick's are very knowledgeable about the products they have on hand as well as additional information about warranties. Jasmin came up to us and looked up some information about the treadmill we were measuring. It was too tall so Michael helped us with finding out which walking pad would suit us best. Chris at checkout helped us understand the manufacturer warranties and warranties offered by the store. The whole process was very smooth. Vibes in the store are great and we didn't feel pressured like some places can make you feel. Wonderful experience all around. Also, the guy in the shoe department was very attentive and also helped point us in the right direction of where the bathroom was. I wish I remembered his name. Tall with a beard.”
“Just brought my 3 daughters in for sneakers for back to school. Josh and Chris went WAAAAYYYYY above and beyond helping us try size after size after size until we found shoes to fit each of my 3 growing daughters. Such good help and customer service. Thx Guys!!!!!”
“The guys at Victus are great. They spent time helping my son pick out the right bats. The facility is top-notch. If you are looking for a wood bat don’t go anywhere else. Pricing was really good too. Left with 3 bats and one custom(shipped free to my house)”
