We're getting A Dicks Sporting Goods Store In Columbus. Does anyone know anything about them?

Ones around here have a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing. Not my favorite store by a long shot. Just my 2 cents. Billy
There's one in Raleigh NC, and when I went in there about 2 years ago, it was pretty much just like Billy said. They don't specialize in anything particular. Everything from golf, sports clothing, and weight lifting to a few fishing poles and a little camoflouge.
Been to the one in Macon a few years ago. Was not very impressed. They had a good selection of golf, biking and camping stuff, but not a lot of hunting or fishing stuff.
They have a lot of variety and aren't geared toward a certain sport. They mainly focus on sports clothing and team sports such as baseball and basketball. They have a decent amount of golf equipment also. I guess it's ok, but their crappie fishing supplies are pretty slim.
you might as well go to wally world.
....and what they do have is sorta like BPS....OVER PRICED!!
I think the Wally worlds around here have a better selection than Dicks! Whole lotta nothin in my opinion. I tried to buy a life jacket there in September and they told me that those were seasonal items come back in April they'd have em back out on the floor then! Ain't been back since.
I find the best deals at "Academy Sports".
Dick's bought out our local Galyan's chain here about two years ago. Changed the name on some existing stores, and closed out a lot of good fishing equipment. Like others have said, Wally World now has a better selection.
agrees with everyone so far...Wally and academy sports are out best bargins in central Ga...Plus the employee's are most helpful to us old farts...The outdoor center in perry ga is awesome for crappie supplies also..its an old kmart and strickly towards fishing and hunting..Hard to leave there sometimes..Its kinda like a grown up toys r kids store if u know what I mean
Kind of like shoping at Kroger for motor oil. Wally world has a better selection and better prices. Sorry to say, don't get too fired up about that place going in...
ditto. Thier fishing supplies are a joke, at least at the Mall Of Georgia.Quote:

this is a depressing thread. It is depressing me! I was excited that we were getting a big name sporting store nearby. When looking for crappie stuff you hope for the best. Wally world doesn't have a great selection of crappie jigs. They are carrying wally marshalls corks this year maybe more they are still getting new stuff daily this month.
I feel the same Smitty--they opened I went 1 time--better to drive 35mi to Macon B.P.than 9mi to Dicks or Wal-Mart.
They are ok for general or beginner stuff. Not high quality or too cheap.
ironic that you dug up this thread.. The fella that started it just died 3/21...
Dick's is not for a crappie fisherman..except @ clearance time in late summer..
Ouch.
That's me. A day late and a dollar short. Sorry to hear of his passing.
