Such a great store. I have been a frequent customer of theirs since they moved to Evansville. This past week, I went in to buy some safes on sale. The sweetest lady helped me when they didn’t have the right price listed and she was able to sort through the confusion and help me purchase the safes.The gun counter is always super nice and friendly. I love shopping here.

Back to school shoe shopping--my 1st visit here-- out was a hot mess express!! Guys working seemed a bit on edge (I can imagine why) But also didnt seem a bit interested to help me find shoe. Even after using his device to look it up... He wasnt in the know.Lol I ended up finding a few more myself right in the middle walk way there!! And finding his size, digging thru boxes, nah Im good. Was a good sale though. Briefly browsed womens apparel on way out & a bit pricey, even the clearance racks. May try returning when I notice a real good sale again.

I’m not sure if Academy knows they have a restroom or not, but someone needs to clean that bad boy.

I recently bought a bike through Academy. It was a Mongoose Tervane 27.5” mountain bike. It has been great so far, but there are some issues that I encountered with Academy itself. On their website, they say it takes at most 48 hours to assemble the bike. That led to the assumption that we would get an email when it was ready. A couple of hours after purchase, we got an email saying it was ready for pickup. However, when we got there, it was not assembled. We live an hour away, so this is not a light trip for us. So we planned on going the next Friday morning, and they almost did not have it ready. This is 72 hours after we ordered it, making them late. We did get it in time, and it is a really good bike, but their emailing and building service needs improved upon.

Has the most selection in everything of the sporting goods stores in Evansville. My son has bought many many airsoft guns here and also all of his football gear and equipment. They’ve definitely got everything in every dept for everyone at a descent price.

This store was absolutely fabulous! They gave us a discount that we couldn’t get anywhere else on a bulk purchase of bicycles for the Martin County Christmas Toy Store. We purchased 42 bikes and will donate these and more to our local kids. We really appreciate what Chris Herbert and his staff did to support kids in Martin County! White River Masonic Lodge #332

Shoes were jumbled every which way… took forever to find our sizes. I had to track down a salesperson like hunting big game only to receive a snarky answer to my simple question. I’ll keep my shopping online line for this place!

We ordered on line a birthday gift for my granddaughter..I came to pick it up , gave them the order number ..the associate asked me to describe what i had ordered so i explained that I can not do that do to the fact that this item is a gift for someone in my car. So next thing ...here comes an associate out of the store carrying a pink shoebox ! No bag, nothing concealed ! My granddaughter now knows she is getting a pair of shoes for her birthday.

Review №28

The store itself was nice and spaced out. A lot of things in stock. I usually order from them online but went in for an outfit that showed in stock but was not. The customers mostly not wearing masks, due to the type of store and its location, encountered a lot of Karens. Will stay ordering online.

They have a nice variety of outdoor and sporting items. Their ammo is reasonably priced and they frequently have good sale items. But the national ammo shortage has caused the cupboards to be bare here.

Went to the Evansville, IN store to buy ammunition. The website showed 22LR in stock. Young adult at firearms counter said they have been out of ammo for weeks and the website was wrong. I didnt say what caliber ammo I was looking for. A person approached the counter after me and asked for ammo. Salesperson gave same sad speech. Customer stated that they called the store and was told they had ammo. The salesperson then says, oh, its up front at the Customer Service Desk. This salesperson was terrible.

The sales are great when they have them. Last time I went to buy a jacket I recieved a 50% discount due to it being clearance priced. Otherwise the store was kind of empty and the staff wasnt very friendly. It may have just been a bad day for them though.

Review №67

Just an average store. Nothing special and it looked very picked over. The staff we interacted with had no idea what was there and told both the customer they helped before us and us that he didnt know if they carried an item and that they get trucks 3 times a week so it might come in. So what are we supposed to do? Write a letter to Santa and see if he delivers to Academy sports? We were less than thrilled with our experience. The store was super clean though.

Review №83

Today I was at Academy Sports to purchase swimming trunks for my grandson (sporting a face mask). I noticed none of the staff had masks on. I kindly asked the cashier why and she said, I dont know. So, I asked to speak to the manager. Again, I kindly asked why. This was his response: We are a country divided on the subject. Our company doesnt require it. If you dont like it dont shop here. Of course I left leaving my items behind and I will NEVER shop there again!If I could leave ZERO stars I would.
