This location recently opened and it definitely has that new smell still. We came to check this place out and to also purchase some sports gear. Parking lot is big so you can find parking easily. The store had a good layout where we could locate things easily. Employees were nice and helped us find sizes we needed. Like most stores they have you walk by the snacks and drinks on your way out to check out. Checking out was quick and they offer emailing your receipt to you or printing it out. I will definitely be back to look for more sports related items.

This is a brand new location, so they don't have it fully staffed yet. They're doing a wonderful job with what they have so far. The store is a very different layout from what I'm accustomed to. It just makes it more fun to figure out where things are and causes me to shop a little bit more. My primary stores were Cedar Park and Round Rock for years. I moved to Taylor about 4 years ago and is glad to have a location that's closer than those original old favorites.

The Hutto Academy is awesome! Very friendly staff! I purchased an amazing Barnett Crossbow for half price during a holiday special, what a great deal!

Thrilled to have this new location by our business. Stopped in last week and this is easily the nicest Academy I've been in, and the staff was already on point. Great selection. Glad to be able to fold this one into our routine!

I want to shout out Amanda (manager) at the Hutto store. The customer service she provided with a bike issue I was having was fantastic! To me customer service goes a long way so THANK YOU for truly going above and beyond!

I also waited to shop here because its too new.Until I ended up stopping by for a bit of Christmas shopping and returned a few days later to get fishing gear and another manager had told me they were getting in a really good firearm deal real soon and check back.Well I stopped by today with money to spend just to browse firearms and see what kinda deals are going on. Not a good experience at all !!! I asked about any deals and got the shoulder shrug" no extra info "... JustOh Well ..Good Luck? No info at all ...Customer Service ???Well I dont know what kind of manager training program is in action here BUT the manager Robert has no people skills !!!He Cant even stand still long enough to ask him any questions ...walks away !!! Seems really unprofessional and bothered to help people.. Guess What Dude" Thats Your Job ...Bubba "I went to front to ask for a manager just to find out he is one of them. I guess I'll go elsewhere to buy any of my stuff

Super nice, really big for an Academy. A week before Christmas and out of sizes for Huk shirts and Nike shorts. Disappointing, no excuse for that really

I am so glad we finally have an Academy Sports in the Hutto and Pflugerville area. This one is very nice both outside and inside. It has all everything laid out perfectly. The fishing and hunting gear are toward the front of the entrance. Grilling gear towards the far right of the building as you walk in. When you check out it's like a maze but they also have an automate system to let you know the next available register. Their payment accepts Apple or Google Pay and tap credit or debit cards.

Hutto finally has a store with a lot of things that we couldn't find in Hutto before. This store has a huge selection. Camping equipment, sports equipment, clothing, boots, firearms & ammo, grills, etc.The store was clean and the staff was friendly. Very pleased with my visit!

We have been to several Academy Sports in the Austin metro area, and we were interested if this new one in Hutto would be better than the others.However, we didn't want to go on their "grand opening weekend" since it wouldn't give a good idea of the store. In our experience, you can get a better feel for how good a store is if you wait about a week or two after it opens.It just turned out our visit was on the Saturday after "Black Friday" and said a lot about this location and if it will be successful.First off, it is in a decent enough location in Hutto, the outside looks nicer than others in the area, the staff seems friendly enough, the store is still clean and decently stocked, and has a better layout than some others we have visited.However, the store was not as busy as you would typically expect. In fact, the Lowe's store next door was noticeably busier.The other concern is the check-out setup. You have to wind your way through a long "impulse buy" setup. It is an odd choice and may prove detracting because it ends with you having to be sure you look at a screen that tells you what checkout counter is available for you. More than one person was confused by this during our visit.The only other detracting part of our visit was being asked about applying for an Academy Sports store credit card at least 3 times. While we understand the employees are being told to do this as part of their job, it is annoying to be repeatedly asked.Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it is rather unclear if this location will end up being successful or not.

Pointless to oder online, still end up waiting forever to get your order. Yeah, the manager, Rob, no help at all. Worst experience at an academy I have ever had.Update, the guys at the counter made up for the bad experience.
