“I've never even seen a game of Lacrosse so felt a bit lost. Chris, the manager, held my hand (figuratively) through the whole process of getting my 11 year old set up. Appreciate the help!”

“Ed was so helpful!! I bought a pair of hoka bondi and it was not the best on my feet. I was then away for vacation and was not able to return them for two weeks. During the time, my mom threw away the shoe box and along with the receipt. I let Ed know about my situation and he was happy to exchange a different pair for me. Ed is a very knowledgeable guy.”

“Took my son (who is newer to golf) for a fitting. To be honest I was also curious about the PXG brand and mystique. Our fitters, Drew and Rich were both very patient and excellent fitting my son. In addition to the fitting they walked us through the clubs and key differentials with the brand. Amazing experience and looking forward to a return visit.”

“Just bought new sneakers from ‘Terry the Chef’ at All Kinds of Fast, Phoenixville. How great is it to get customized service making adjustments to the footwear for specific needs!!! I then went to Planet Fitness and had the best walk on the treadmill I’ve ever had!! This retail outlet came highly recommended from a friend whose two sons run track. They have received quality customer service here for over 10 years!!! Forget about going anywhere else and give ALL KINDS IF FAST a try. You will be glad you did!! ????‍♀️”

“Great experience. Highly recommend Bryn Mawr running company in Media! Kelsey was great at helping me find shoes that I love. She was very knowledgeable about the different options and what shoes would best fit my needs. Staff very welcoming and patient! Parking was easy and prices very reasonable. Great selection of shoes and other running/walking gear!”

“We went to the Running Place to get sneakers for my husband and Anne helped us with our sneakers and she was wonderful! This is a great place to go if you want individual attention and I can’t say enough good things about this store.”

“You can find almost anything you need for outdoor adventure at half off regular prices! Keep searching and occasionally you'll find a gem for 70% off or more. Inventory refreshes regularly. A must go for Christmas.”

“Maddie was great for my beginner! She sized her up and gave her great advice and was so patient and kind! Has the best time and we are excited for this new adventure. Definitely will be back!”

“Who knew going to a store with the sole purpose of buying running shoes could teach you a lot about yourself in less than an hour... I went here on Wednesday November 22nd in the early afternoon. I entered the store, and I took a look around since it was my first time in there. I saw that some of their staff was already helping other customers, and after looking around for a few minutes, I decided to take a seat until someone offered to help a few minutes later. An employee then spoke into a mic/walkie talkie to indicate to someone in the back/side room that I needed help. Afterwards, an employee came out and we got the show on the road. I told her I was interested in understanding what kind of feet I have and what would be the best shoe for me. Before we got started with the fun, I had to answer a few basic questions like how often do I plan on running, what kind of cushion, how much will I run in a week, etc; So in order to find the right shoe, I needed to take my socks off and walk/run barefoot with socks provided by them on a treadmill while she filmed behind me with an iPad for 10-20 seconds. Once the employee got a good enough recording, then we headed over to the Fit Finder. For some reason the Fit Finder wasn't playing nice with her iPad, so we kind of stood around for a minute or two and then technology magically fixed itself. Afterwards I had to stand on it with both feet, stand on my feet in specific ways, put more weight on specific feet, etc; Once we finished doing all of that, then we got to go to the big TV and understand my results! There is where I learned some interesting facts about myself! First it provided a couple shoe recommendations as well as other product recommendations. Now the nittygritty. The Fit Finder and treadmill fun was able to tell me how long my feet are, my feet width, my feet alignment, arch heights on each foot, and other not as useful facts like ball width, ball girth, instep height, and heel width. Here I learned how severely different my arch heights were in both feet. How one foot can be shorter than the other... Also how I have narrower feet on average than a typical guy... The list goes on, but it taught me a lot about my feet that you wouldn't know from just trying on shoes or just looking at your feet. So based on all of that and how I walk/run, they were able to recommend stability shoes. However as we were talking about shoes then began the kind of subtle push for their custom support insole. Now I never necessarily said no or yes to it, but quickly as we were getting to the shoe trying on phase, she began heating up the insoles. We then did a standing act to form the insoles to my feet. Afterwards, she trimmed the insoles based on my feet/shoe size which in my head I kind of questioned since I never agreed to buying the custom insoles. However I just went along. We tried on a good few pairs, and I eventually settled on a pair in a color and size that wasn't available in store. Based on their Black Friday deals, I was also logically convinced into getting their VIP rewards plan. It was at a price that would ultimately save me money, allow for me to return the custom insoles, get a discount on the shoes + insoles, and then also get a lot of in-store cashback. I ultimately spent $236 on the shoes ($126), custom insoles ($90), and membership ($20). I saved $24 with the membership, and I received $63.20 in in-store cash. So to me that seems like a pretty good value, but maybe I spent more then I needed if I just bought the shoes. Regardless, I left the store with the custom insoles and the shoes to be delivered in a few days. Their website didn't really play nice with linking the cashback to my account or linking my membership, but it eventually linked after a couple days. My in store Fit Finder results for whatever reason did not tie back to my account on the website, but they at least email you the results to reference for later. On another note, I was told that if I want to cancel my paid membership, I have to call them... So one of those days I attempt”

“Toni/Tony was extremely helpful, knowledgable, personable, and kind. I listed all my needs, got measured properly, tried on about 8 pairs, and ended up buying the first pair she had recommended. My feet are really happy, and so am I.”

“Streamlight definitely has some of the best customer service around. Thank you for making the warranty process on my tlr6 such an easy process. I own several Streamlight products and this was my first very small issue and it was handled extremely professionally. I'll continue to buy your products based on quality and your awesome customer service that was provided..... Thanks Streamlight”

“We were introduced to Don the store manager as soon as we walked in. We explained the specific type of men's sneaker my husband needed and he walked us back to the section that had exactly what he needed. Satisfaction guaranteed. Thank you.”

“carries everything a figure skater and a hockey player would require. Due to its rinkside location, it is very convenient. The hours can be quite flexible depending on the schedule.”

“You can judge a store when you have gone through a complex tangled mess with them, and still have a good experience. I bought a highly coveted patagonia jacket from their online store, but the last jacket in size M had been sold on the floor right as I purchased it online. After using the wrong credit card, a new jacket in size L, two credit card charges that couldn't be refunded -- I have to say they were incredibly professional and responsive. The least I can do is write a glowing review because not every store has good customer service, that are able to follow the tangled thread that ended up with my purchase and still leave a good impression on me. I will be shopping here online again.”

“Excellent pro shop! I got refitted for a new ball after a LONG break from bowling and also had an old ball plugged/redrilled with the new specs. Steve is super nice, eager to nerd out on bowling and an extremely knowledgable PSO which is exactly what we need to keep this sport going. We figured out what I needed out of a ball, he gave me several options and price points that were all very reasonable. He's also been super helpful after the sale with some minor adjustments right then and there after I rolled a few with my new gear. My fit has been great so far and my game has improved almost instantly, it's amazing how much better bowling is with the right fit and the right ball. Green's is definitely on my list as a go-to, don't hesitate to check him out!”

“This place has nice stuff but they never have any discounts. The prices are usually too high for me to justify paying. Some of the same wear is cheaper at corner stands and even competitive sport retailers. I always check in here though to see what they have.”

“What an unbelievably awesome company this is that truly cares about customer service and satisfaction. I ordered one of these bats for my son from a retailer and although the bat was great, it ended up feeling too light for him after he got to use it in cages. I contacted Victus and they said bring it into our showroom (since we are close) and he can feel the other bats and exchange it for him. That is unbelievable customer service and really caring about us which is amazing. My son just used the new bat he reveived in exchange in the cages and was so stoked at how it felt and how great it was to swing and, even more than normal, he can't wait for the season to start. Thank you Victus!”

“Went to four different shops looking for cleats when I should have just walked into Angelo’s first. They had an excellent selection with the sizes I needed actually in stock and at totally reasonable prices. Staff was helpful and quick even with a sign on the door warning that there could be wait times. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Will be only buying them here from now on and recommending to the rest of my team”

“I had my raquet restrung at Tennis Essentials and what a difference. The balls would fly without too much effort. I highly recommend Tennis Essentials if you want your game to improve and the service is stellar.”

“We took my son to Fairman's this week to pick out a skateboard for his 6th birthday. I wasn't sure what to expect given I have zero knowledge of skateboarding, so I was blown away with the experience - Mike, who I later found out was also the owner, patiently educated all of us and helped our son build a skateboard! It only took about 20-30 minutes to select the parts and build, and it ended up being an experience for our son as opposed to just picking out a gift. The shop is organized with board options, but also clothing, accessories, shoes, etc and cool artwork. The highlight though was Mike - he was kind, helpful, spoke directly to our son through the process, and answered all of our silly questions. The shop offers lessons. And we felt the pricing to be very fair.”

“Went here to check for some sneaks for my daughter..unfortunately they didn't have the size but they had a nice selection of other brands. Ended up grabbing a nice pair on sale for myself. Will return in future.”

“I come to Ralley House KOP every year and I was blown away this year. Specifically at the amazing customer service on the floor and at checkout! Sincere and Mahogany helped me find everything I was looking for and even went out of their way to call Collegeville to inquire about an item for me! I cannot wait to be back next year and I wish Sincere and Majogany all the best!”

“This place is awesome! I've gotten a lot of great personalized items and always made exactly as requested. If you want something cool and personalized, especially Philly themed this is the place to go!”

“I went on the last few days of the end of the year where the customers are huge in number. However, the staff was extremely on their toes, ready to help and over all smart.Extremely friendly”

“Great experience. I’ve never gotten fitted for running shoes before, and I was very impressed with Dave’s knowledge. Fair prices and excellent customer service. I’ll be back for my next purchase!”

“Love this store. Use to visit the one in downtown San Francisco and Pleasantville. They changed the style of some of their hoodies but it still looks great.Also the employee I interacted with was friendly and willing to help. I will be back to make more purchases.”

“I came with my son to pick up some gear for lacrosse. Even though there was only 5 minutes to closing, I was greeted with a smile by the helpful employees. They helped us find all the things we came for for a quarter of the price that we would get it for new. Will definitely come back in the future.”

“This morning, I placed an online order for in store pickup for an item that was listed as “1 left in stock” and was nervous that the item may not actually be available, given that sometimes items listed as “in stock” may not be up to date or accurate. I arrived to the store within 10 minutes of their opening and since I hadn’t received an alert that my item was ready, expected to wait until it was retrieved. To my surprise, the item was ready and waiting! That means that someone in the store was hard at work filling online orders even before the doors opened. Kayla was prompt and professional and did a great job of asking for my name and confirmed my identity by asking for my ID. As a customer who has placed a lot of online orders for items to pick up in store at various stores including Target etc, it was obvious to me that she was well trained and that there was a procedure for all in-store pick-up items. I was also looking for another item which I asked her for some guidance in directing me to where I might find the item, and she happily walked me to a nearby stand where they were located, saving me loads of time. I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes, and very glad I was helped by Kayla, as I have a very busy day ahead. The customer service Kayla provided was 10 out of 10. In a day and age where I’ve come to expect my interactions with store staff to be lackluster and even disappointing/upsetting, this pleasant surprise really started off my Friday on a high note and made me all the more eager to enjoy the long holiday weekend. Thanks, Kayla! I really appreciate all your help this morning. Keep up the stellar work!”

“I would like to thank a young gentleman that help me when I needed the help his name was Justin.They should have more good worker like him. Thank you for being so nice and helpful.”
