Academy Sports + Outdoors

"Evan in the gun/fishing pole side of the store was SO helpful. I was apparently going to buy a lake fishing setup. But our trip is to galveston. I imagine we'll do much better with the 20lb line and longer fishing pole that Evan recommended. He strung up our pole too in a minute or two. I bought pyramid weights. He had dried shrimp that I could use for bait too. Thanks for the extra help, sir!"

"Wednesday evening at your Bunker Hill location, Deanna was working customer service and actively yelling at a man doing two returns in a row in front of a bunch of customers: he was register 6 at 7:34 on Wednesday the 21st. The security guy Evan was saying he couldn't believe they only had one cashier and one other (PTL? something) in front of everyone- actively engaging with Deanna to embarrass this innocent employee. Deanna said "Ya well it would work if we didn’t have this" and pointed to the older gentleman working register 6. I wish I could get his name, as he did NOT deserve that treatment and public embarrassment. It was shameful, rude, and honestly, sad and horrific to watch. Shame on her and shame on academy for hiring people that would treat another human this way. I can only imagine how she treats customers if she is treating her own coworkers this way."

"I completed a review on the Academy feedback website, but I want to make cute Chris (lodato if I am remembering correctly) the recognition he deserves. He goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are taken care of. I have gone back 3x since our initial encounter and purposely stood in his line and even waited for him as other cashiers opened up. It’s his kind demeanor and his helpfulness that brings me back. He is an asset to the company. Thank you so much Chris! I look forward to our next encounter."

"This is the best Academy in Houston! Friendly greeters at the door, always stocked well, the store is exceptionally clean and they have great customer service at the checkout and at the customer service counter. Academy is my go-to for all my Astros gear, gifts for my Dad and gifts for my guy. Columbia is a big part of their stock, especially in the men's department. You might even find sale racks with good deals. They also have a great selection of pool floats and water toys. The shoe section is terrific for both men and women. I am always able to find the sizes I need and I have also found terrific deals on brands of tennis shoes I really like. Snacks in the checkout line are also available. They have fun candies too."
