Appearance of the store is great. Clean, organized and friendly, helpful associates. Mark and Denise took great care of me. Answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything I needed. Made my experience extremely pleasant and easy.

Tennessee prohibits any person from intentionally, knowingly or recklessly selling ammunition to an intoxicated person.2 Tennessee does not otherwise prohibit the transfer of ammunition to, or the purchase and possession of ammunition by, persons who are ineligible to possess firearms under state law, although federal ammunition purchaser prohibitions apply.That’s the law. Copied and pasted directly from the state website.So I was in academy, the person in front of me absolutely stunk of marijuana. Buying .223 ammunition. After this person was allowed to cash out, I asked the 2 associates if they smelled that. They said yea, it was strong. Then I asked them if they are aware of a policy or law that would prohibit this person From purchasing ammo, they said no. Then I asked if they can refuse to sell ammo to a person under the influence, they both said, “they are unaware”. So not only did these two associates and customer break the law, but academy doesn’t even inform their associates about the law. AND THESE PEOPLE SELL GUNS TO THE PUBLIC . This is irresponsible and unacceptable and I hope this problem is dealt with swiftly before this person commits a crime, that this company enabled

Do not purchase Igloo 24qt cooler with handle. I have purchased one and returned it three times with discrepancy in product manufacture.The lid does not seal well. You can test this by putting water in cooler. Doesnt have to be much. Place cooler on side and watch the water leak out.A cooler should seal and not be able to leak out contents. The fact that I have experienced this with three of the same coolers leads me to believe this entire line of coolers is poop.

The latest, greatest sports and outdoor store. Huge selection of all things outdoors, especially the impressive outdoor grilling, smoking, cooking selections and massive shoe department. Clean, well organized facility with fair prices. Works for me.

I just love this store! They do have good prices and variety despite the current shortages around the country. Always helpful, and usually have discounts and sales. They also have adicional discounts for us first responders and medical personnel. Thanks guys !

I ran in quickly to pick up a 1 to 3 pound hand weight. Never been in this location so was not familiar with the layout. First person I ask pointed me in the direction then took me there. Great service. I wish I had her name so I could give her a shout out. She saved me time and I appreciated her attention and care about a customer. I can recommend this location.

If Walmart or Target doesnt have it, I bet they have it here. Huge store, extremely clean, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The layout of this store is easy to navigate. You dont feel lost looking for a certain item.

Went into the store. Two workers stood near the entrance looked at me as if I had a wrecked face. No greeting from them. I greeted them with no response. I was looking for football equipment for my son and workers walked passed me even when I said excuse me. So as I proceeded to exit, I found one worker standing near the exit and asked my questions. He answered me. The only one that answered! When workers see handicapped people inside the store they should assume they need help. Place yourself near so they dont get frustrated and leave.

Every employee we interacted with was incredibly helpful and pleasant. They were quick to assist us with our heavy purchase, and loaded it onto a cart for us and held it at the front while we finished shopping. The store appears to be well organized and clean - my only critique is I wish they enforced the mask mandate a little more. Still, this was a great experience and I look forward to returning.EDIT 8/31: Editing to add my most recent experience. I went back to pick up some MMA gloves that I had my eye on. Unfortunately, the ones on display were not the ones I had tried on, even though they looked similar (I had a picture for reference), and they did not have the size I needed. When I asked customer service, an older white man scanned the similar item and told me they only came in one size, when I showed him the picture, he just said “hmm, that’s weird.” Fortunately, another employee (Dennis) was OUTSTANDING and went back with me to look, and was able to locate the actual gloves I needed, staying with me while I tried them on to make sure it was everything I needed. Dennis is an outstanding employee and I hope the other man learns from him.

I had to exchange a piece of clothing and it was a simple process. I spent very few minutes in the building. I was able to get back home and finish packing for my mini-vacation. I was comfortable in my new shirt. Thank you, Academy!

Will not spend my money at a place where customer service is poor!Customer service was horrible! I felt so disrespected! I asked several times about basketball shorts and the workers that were having inappropriate conversation acted as if I were invisible. Although Ms.Susie stopped her conversation to ask a Caucasian male did he need help; all while I was in arms reach of her. So I proceeded to the shoe section where no one asked did I need assistance; I counted 3 workers that were just walking around. I finally asked for assistance and the guy was nonchalant and walked away when his coworker began talking to him. He did not apologize, he did not return, nor did he try and get anyone else to help us. I reported to the manager which was nice but I still left because the store was not busy and the workers were just walking around idol!

Great place to buy firearms and always a smooth process for the paperwork. I also have purchased a cooler and other outdoor equipment and have yet to be disappointed with anything at this store. Employees have been very helpful in giving me information about a product or recommendations for another that may better suit my needs and I have no complaints yet. I dont always give stores a review unless Im really impressed or disappointed.

Review №32

Online showed in-stock at the store on several life jackets, but the actual in-stock was extremely limited. The life jackets were all hanging on different pegs with the wrong prices, a fact realized when I got to the register. Mine rang up $30 more than the price on the peg it was hanging on, but I didnt argue. I also bought 2 fishing blouses that were on the marked down rack that rang up regular price. I shrugged & shook my head. Price integrity & quality employees flew out the window a long time ago in the retail world. Sad to see them leave.

Love it! Big store with lots of selection. Great prices. Hands down the BEST wonderful helpful staff. I spent $530 unintentionally because the prices were so good I just couldnt stop adding things to my cart. And refused to put things back once I realized how high my cart was. Just cant beat the low prices for high quality gear.*as of 1.21.21 very few firearm options and ammo as well tho that is to be expexted*

Only one star this time bc the site did not have the item I went there for. Misleading business practices are a foot with their on line app. Dont say u have items in the store if you dont. I nearly per paid for the item by ordering from the app and glad I didnt bc I wouldnt have received the item I was expecting to pick up using their optional curb side service.Get ur stores inventory straight.... managrment. If u dont have it in stock dont promote that u do on the website.

I ordered my son, who lives in another state, a gift card for Christmas on December 15th. I also ordered the rest of his family gift cards from various other department stores. All their cards arrived last week. I called Academy and was told delivery could be between December 22nd - December 31st. Seriously?? Oh, and they don’t have an e-card option. Ridiculous!!! It’s now too late to get ANYTHING to him before Christmas, as they stated they couldn’t even guarantee overnighting it would get it there on time! Enough is enough! So long Academy! No more business from us!!

I like Academy Sports. There is a ton of stuff for nearly every sport. Is it all the best stuff? No. Will it get you started? Absolutely. For most sports, other than the top tier Academy has you covered.Ive bought stuff at Academy for a variety of activities: Volleyball, soccer, disc golf, kickboxing, fishing, kayaking. camping, etc.Its the outdoor section that truly needs to find its place. If youre looking for outdoor activities, such as camping or hunting, the Collierville location is better stocked with items to fit your needs. In fact, if youre looking for camping (glamping?) Definitely check out cville as cordova is lacking in on-shelf inventory.As far as service, nothing special here. At cordova location, someone will only help you if you ask them. Once contacted, they were far more eager and manageable.

Jeff was horrible. My wife and I drove an hour and half specifically to this Academy. I called ahead to make sure the weight bench I was looking for was there, and they said they had 2 in stock. I told them I was making the long drive and to set it aside. We purchased the weight bench and were told to wait outside. We waited a half hour while they “looked in the back.” It ended up being that they only had the floor model, which was scuffed and scratched. They wouldn’t offer any money off despite the damage, as well as lacking a box and warranty information. What a waste of time.
