They have a good variety of items for sports and outdoors. Sucked that even with all that variety, we didnt found anything we were looking for. Fitting rooms and bathrooms were clean and staff was nice. I would come again. They accept electronic payments

Thank you VICTOR for the warm greeting and VANESSA for the awesome checkout customer service. Very friendly staff. A huge variety of sporting goods. There are sneakers for style along with other footwear like cleats for football and spikes for track and more. Other sporting equipment like a basketball goal, helmets, hunting rifles etc. are all in attendance.

Worst experience ever! Placed an online order the order came product was wrong. Call customer service they resend the order comes in wrong again. Go in a store they place the order comes in wrong. Three times!!! Call customer service ask for a manager put me on hold. I just hung up. Never had a more horrible experience . Never purchase online. If you can not pick the merchandise up in store dont bother with this company.

Academy has some of the best shoes to choose from, straight up! Their rain boot selection could use a little help.. maybe a wider selection..? More variety..? Idk. Got cool clothes. A wide range of firearms. Awesome employees. Helpful & nice.

This place was cool. It reminds me of the other sports store that closed about 6 years ago. I bought my daughter a Paw Patrol, Fishing Rod.

Did curbside pick up. No issues getting my item. Staff were very friendly. No complaints.

Went there to pick up a shotgun Id bought @ Academy online. I have my Georgia permit - so the transaction went smoothly..... around 10 to 15 minutes from start to finish. They have a good selection of casual and athletic shoes too - I found some great deals and took a couple of pairs back home with me. The store is relatively new - nice, clean and fairly-well organized. Definitely worth a stop.

If you have any questions or issues see Sam. He was extremely helpful with what I needed and very educational in answering my questions. Seems like a very diligent and detail orientated guy and was very cordial throughout the whole process. I’m happily giving more of my business to this Academy.

We had an issue with a mispriced item and Melanie and David were super friendly, helpful, and corrected the issue. They have a good variety of sports and outdoors gear at good prices and great sales. Thank you for turning my 8 year old girls disappointment around.

Great store and great staff. Very friendly staff - always willing to help.

One of the greatest sports stores you can shop at and the help is excellent staff as well mannered

Theyve got ammo available at a reasonable price, got to love retailers that the support 2A

Employees at MOG location, especially at register at night are rude and lazy. Much different atmosphere during daytime here. Snellville location is A+++

Great service! Great prices! Great products! Always greeted kindly at the door! I will always go back!

Purchased a Smith and Wesson 40 cal on Saturday. I was told that if for any reason I could bring the gun back and they could mail it back for me. Upon getting home this BRAND NEW gun starts to jam. Called to get them to send it back and I was told they dont do that. $400+ down the drain.

Pleasant staff. Well stocked

Great place to find all things that you need for sports that you like. And plus they have lots of sport wear. I buy a great bike and nice price 👍

Nice and clean, brightly lit, good selection of products.

They had in stock what I needed. I was in and out in about the same time it takes to oder and receive a latte at Starbucks!

This a relatively new place that is usually pretty slow but clean and nice staff.

New store, helpful staff, and good prices. Definitely check it out if youre into sports and outdoors. Bought a bike for my son online for in-store pickup with free bike assembly. They also offer curbside pickup.

Great selection of sporting goods and clothes. I like their deals on shoes and their decent seldom disc golf products.

Very large store with a great selection of anything sports related bought my grandson some tennis shoes at a fantastic price.

I have been here at least a dozen times and I have never had a bad visit. Only about half of my visits are normal and the rest were good enough to want to leave a review. Grace at the desk is always a delight. Best employee in a very crowded field of great employees.

My daughter and I visited your store in Buford, Ga. It was and will be my last visit. You will NEVER need to worry about me spending a single penny in your store.We were shopping for a shirt for my Dad (during the weekend of fathers day). There was a caucasian male watching us. He moved when we moved. When we left the shirts, we wanted to check our a hat for my husband. However, I decided against it because it became painfully aware that wed were being followed by him. Im tired of companies who will not teach their employees how to spot shop lifters. I work for every dollar I spend and Im appalled at this behavior. Done!

Academy Sports is one of the most important and amazing place for outdoor people. From clothing, to tennis shoes, boots, backpacks, bikes, boats, all sports equipment, but also guns and ammo. Their price is comparable and competitive with most of others Outdoor stores. It is my store where I have a Store Card and everytime I buy over there, I got 5% discout.This one store is brand new, just had the big open day a couple months ago. The access to store is easy and it is well located in the heart of beautiful Buford!

Had very good experience here buying a gun. Seth at the gun counter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Overall very good and seamless process. And the website is pretty accurate for what they have in stock so no wasted trips.

Great place to go to get sporting goods related items.

Martez was an amazing team leader. He has great customer service skills, he has the most patience I have ever seen. I came looking for shoes for my 4 kids and he was very helpful and very informative and I learned a lot today. He kindly catered to all my needs while still helping other customers. I would recommend him 100% I will definitely come back and have him as the one person that I want to help me. Thank you Martez

Good quality of clothes..and the best prices...great service

Great selection, but very unhappy with my curbside pickup. Employees were very rude.

Fun place to window shop, but a little too pricey on brand names for my taste. Fun to search for your favorite sport though!

Great place to window shop. They cover a lot of sports. Pricey.

Questions about kayaks and life preserver Chandler was so awesome! He answered so knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone was so cheerful greeting and exit.

As far as fishing supplies go they have much less of a selection than Bass Pro but they always have a good selection that’s in stock! They do a good job of refilling the racks. Always seems to take a while at the checkout.. but they do add cashiers when it backs up.

This place has everything you need if you play any type of sports, exercise, hunt, or fan gear! They have a nice selection of one of my favorite name brands Adidas, male and female clothing! Also, I would like to shout out one fabulous employee there named Laura! 😀 I lost my S pen that goes to my phone and upon me telling her my problem and asking for her help, she was so kind and went right to it! I was so 🙏🏾grateful to her because I live way in Stone Mountain Ga, and this place is in Buford Ga.

We went looking for shorts, tshirts, and work out apparel. As for tshirts, very few items offered in all cotton. They were out of stock on size L of most just plain elastic band gym shorts.

I love this store. They have everything what are looking for.

More expensive than it used to be. However, store was clean and well organized even though it was weekend before back to school.

They got everything. Good brands, house brand items and pricing is always fair

Great staff through out the store.

I always find what I’m looking for and more. I saw very good clothes on sale, winter stuff . So I appreciate that I can still buy sweaters or long sleeves for cheaper. They have the swimming clóreles out, I got a cute outfit for the swimming pool.

Nice store, clean and organized. Wish they had more stock. But then again maybe I chose the wrong time to go. My wife found some Adidas sweat pants shes been looking for. Overall good experience

Good selection and helpful staff. Good price too.

Nice store and service was solid. Nothing to complain about.

Tons of quality options for allPrice levels. Very satisfied.

Found a great pair of hiking boots at a good price!

Had a little trouble with a recent purchase. Something that was entirely my fault. I return the product without the least bit of trouble and I was so pleased I immediately bought a similar product. The only problem I have had here is bicycle assembly which is apparently done by a guy that is only in sporadically. I had to wait about three days to get my bike assembled, no big deal. I bought the bike on a holiday weekend so some delay is expected. However when the crank set on the bike literally fell apart during my first ride, well thats a bigger problem. A problem that simply taking to time to properly apply a torque wrench could have solved. That could have been very dangerous and I was disappointed a bit. I am hoping it is an outlier but be careful if you opt for free assembly on a bicycle, you may get exactly what you paid for

Friendly staff. pretty cool store; I recently discovered Academy. will return

My favorite place to shop when Atlanta!

Wish they have more selection for baseball bats and cleats

Friendliest staff I ha e encountered at Academy. Made you feel welcomed!!

Customer service is horrible. Do NOT order bikes from here!

Lots of different sports and outdoors clothing and accessories. Their available sizes are limited in all departments. Store is always well staffed. Mask required and fitting rooms are closed.

The cashiers are great all so the hosts does a great job as well 👏

Service here is great in the firearms department and at check out. Will definitely be going back for all my firearm needs. Got a nice pair of shoes too. Great place for lots of different things.

Need more than 2 people in the gun and ammo area Especially in the evening time

The lady who works in the front if the store is extremely nice and so helpful!!

Looking for rain boots for our 7 year old grandson. Hit the jackpot with some great looking rain boots. Great value, well made, and our grandson loves them. Service was great with helping us find the boots. Wife loves the shoe inserts here. I love looking at sporting goods available.

Great place for sport items. Friendly and helpful staff

This store was so huge I felt like I was being swallowed 😂 they had every make brand and model of just about any type of sports equipment youd ever need. And they had nice sales. I literally saw people with baskets filled with things from the store.

Always lots to look at. Good selection

Good prices. more product availability and helpful staff

Easily found what I was looking for.

Not happy with this Buford store. There’s a full pallet of wagons with one price on each side and when I went to check out it was another price. So I told them the price on the pallet is different. They had a employee check on it and came back saying that price is for another item. I can understand that but what I wasn’t happy was that the employee said he couldn’t order the price that it said even though it was there fault (where’s the customer service first there)?

They have good sales going on and the staff is very nice.

No one came to help. Couldnt find item I was looking for. No prices on rod and reels

Not even a tool box to help you disassemble. Spent 1 hr doing nothing but waiting. Let it slow, let it slow, let it slow. Traditional mid class shop experience, clean, friend but very slow, back to line twice. Bought. Return. Slow Slow low efficiency.

Totally opposite experience than the ones Ive had at the Gainesville location. Everyone was nice and friendly. as I was shopping for shoes I noticed the lady running back and forth helping the elderly couple find the perfect pair of shoes, Grace who helped check me out was extremely friendly and bubbly and even though she was wearing a mask I could tell she was smiling behind it, and on my way out the door the lady thanked me for shopping in person and said that she really appreciated us coming in.

The worst shopping experience of my life

Great service and selection. Thanks

New store love it, if you are in to sports and outdoor it is for you, it was about time we have one in Buford

Great store...close to home, has all we needed. Highly recommend

Boyd is super knowledgeable and super helpful. Oh yea, and Academy has great prices 😁

A associate helped until I found what I was looking for and everyone there is always friendly

Great variety of items, located between Buford and SugarHill.

Had just eaten dinner at Texas Roadhouse for my bf’s nephew’s birthday. Decided to walk over to Academy Sports to look for some shorts because I am pregnant, needed some new clothes, and it was convenient right after dinner. My bf’s nephews followed us to the store and their parents stayed behind in the parking lot. My bf and I are calmly shopping for shorts and his nephews (13,15,&17) go off on their own to look around. Next thing we know we are in men’s department checking for shorts for my bf and his nephew comes over saying they’re getting kicked out. Mind you this is the oldest nephew who wasn’t even a part of whatever the other two were doing. Apparently they were throwing a football, running around, causing a ruckus. Next thing we know, one of the employees (apparently a team lead named Natalie) comes over asking if we are with them and that we need to get out if we are and that they are “choosing not to do business with us.” I was so in shock because we had absolutely nothing to do with what his nephews were doing and while we did walk in together, we had the intentions of actually shopping and we figured they were mature enough to look around on their own, especially considering their parents were outside. As in we were not responsible for them or what they chose to do. While I completely understand the disruption not being wanted in the store, they asked the three boys to leave and they did. Meanwhile, after the boys had already left the store like they were told, the Team lead continued to have an extreme attitude, continuing to tell us to leave when we were in a completely different department, cursing, and threatening to call the police on us to escort us out. The ironic part is that their was another employee there who was a witness to everything and even said we were minding our business shopping and that it wasn’t fair to ask us to leave when we had nothing to do with it and his nephews already left like the store asked. I was still in shock and at that point I was ready to put my things up and not give them business. I felt as if Natalie racially profiled my bf, not only assuming that we were with them, but also trying to kick us out of the store for something we had no part in and had no idea was even going on. Their nice and understanding manager named Amy, asked us what was going on, understood where we were coming from, and allowed us to continue to shop since we did not have any part in his nephew’s wrong doings. I don’t know if I’ll be back, just considering all of the unnecessary drama, and being talked down to. but I do appreciate how the manager handled it & allowed us to continue about our day and finish shopping. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again with anyone else.

Great. What a service. Everybody is so nice. My favorite store. Keep it up guys!!!🤙

Grace is awesome!I love this store because of the employees working there, and the great service they provide!

Great store. Friendly efficient staff. No complaints.

Some ammo available. Customer service was excellent.

Not to shabby on ammo prices, would give 5 stars if they removed 2 box limit.

At this particular location management was very rude the customer service was very unfriendly and Im a returning customer. The last two times have been embarrassing and very uncomfortable I would not recommend this particular Academy

Great place to shop. I love the gun department and big selection of outdoor products and general sporting goods.

Really good for for non cheap shorts

Clean, well planned store, all signage is easy to see. Large selection of clothing and sporting goods.

We love shopping there.

Love this store. They carry carhart, Columbia and many more. Wonderful selection for all sports and outdoor activities ...

Lack of inventory and 3 different employees walking past myself and my family without ANY interaction solidified my decision to spend my money elsewhere!

Good place to shop.

Great steals on clothes, camping gear, sports equipment, and etc. You have to shop their clearance items prices are unbelievable.

Store is nice and very clean. good prices...will be back.

Still no primers or hunting ammunition

Clean. Plenty of space. Helpful and friendly staff.

Of course ammo and guns are gone. The sporting good section is sold out. Go away Covid. The line to check out of the store was kind of ridiculous. Needed more people to check you out

Its very clean, neat, and our go to for sports equipment football and soccer.

Customer service is terrible. I did curbside pickup on an order and while I was there trying to contact the store I had to call 5 times and was put on hold without even being talked to and then the call was disconnected. The last time I called and actually got through to someone in the store as I was talking they hung up on me. I tried to call back and no one would answer the phone. I had to cancel my online order because I couldnt get in contact with the store. They have great product and terrible customer service. If I go back at least I know not to rely on anyone at the store for help.

Good selection of sporting goods at decent prices. My only negative is the amount of items that have no prices on them or the shelf. I brought 2 of an item that had a price of 6.97 each and when the cashier rang them up was told they were 12.95 ea. When I told her about the discrepancy she just asked me if I wanted them or not.

Stop by the Academy Sports in Buford Georgia Monday April 26th to buy some ammunition and got in line. A worker walked in and said they had no ammo and they were doing inventory and they was not getting any trucks this week. Found out from my son they did get a truck the day before and they had ammunition in the store at the time. So I called the store ask to speak to a manager and someone named Nicole said she is a manager and said it was just miscommunication and I said everyone in the line that would make no sense at all she said she did not have time to deal with it that is the customer appreciation you get at that store

Went shopping today.. came in with my pregnant girlfriend. Got profiled for stealing and threatened to get the police called on by team leader Natalie. She threatened to kick me and my pregnant girlfriend out because of something my nephew did while my girlfriend and I were casually shopping for shorts. She insisted on kicking us out and stated that she would not want to do business with us. I spoke with the general manager Amy and I apologized for my wrong doings that were performed by my nephew but insisted that we did nothing wrong and that I was just trying to buy some clothes for my pregnant girlfriend. I understand that teenagers can come in and be a disruption but that does not mean that you come up to customers with an strong attitude threatening customers to get escorted by the police especially when they did nothing wrong & specifically tell them that they will not do business with you. I hope that the GM can have a serious conversation with her..
