If you are underwhelmed by Fleet Farm and their recent changes, Runnings is the answer. Keep up the great work and stocking great products. Youll notice someone in Runnings supply chain is taking the time to source good products not cheap throwaway products.

Great big store. Lots of stuff an old suburban man doesn’t need but would like to buy.

Review №3

Very clean store, inventory seemed a bit low, but most likely due to them doing an inventory when I was there. Staff was super friendly and we were greeted and honestly the only store like that, that we didnt feel followed, even though we are a mixed race couple. We have been followed at home depot, Menards and Fleet Farm. I know that wont matter to most people, but we definitely will choose Runnings over any other place, due to this.

Great Service always in Sporting Goods Dept. Employees available to assist in all Departments.Top notch service & Good Prices. Always confuses me how a Walmart is Packed when that never applies there & their prices are higher or the same.

Quite often I have experienced when they have sale items posted in their weekly sale flyer the items are not there or sold out! They did give me a rain check weeks ago & soon it will be a snow check! 😒

I always buy my hamster bedding at Runnings. Paper & Aspen wood, I like to mix them. Ive priced it at just about every last place that sells it and Runnings is by far the absolute best deal! Super cheap!! 2, sometimes 3×s more expensive at every other store.

Always a great place to go such a relaxing store where u never have to feel rushed. Prices are a little higher then I like but product quality on everything I purchase seem to be if good quality

Complete joke of a company and incompetent employees. Only half of their stuff has price tags on it and when asking an employee what the price is they can’t answer it. The few things they do have in stock are wildly overpriced. I won’t be going back if I can help it.

Runnings in Monticello, MN had exactly what I was looking for and in my opinion, is somewhat underrated when it comes to hunting supplies.

AMY (front end manager) IS INCREDIBLEY RUDE AND DEMEANING!I asked about something in the ad, she said they didnt have any. I told her I saw them in back, she said those werent the same. I asked if I could show her, she rolled her eyes. We go back and there they are with the label AS ADVERTISED and she said, well those must be labeled wrong.Then I asked if she could honor the price since they were clearly marked as the ones in the ad, even to the level of detail. She snapped back and said she wouldnt and that I didnt know what I was talking about, even though I pointed out she had been wrong several times and that it was in the ad, with the exact same description, and labeled as advertised on the shelf.She continued to give me attitude and raise her voice at me in front of my 3 kids and other customers. I wasnt going to continue to let someone talk to me that way in front of my kids or others. We walked out and will take out business to Fleet Farm or Home Depot.So sad, we have loved this place for YEARS!

Fantastical place. This fishing and hunting options are massive. Greatest customer service in knowledge and willingness to help. ( You DONT feel like a burden in their day) this is Harley and crews one stop shop for all outdoor gear while investigating. Jackets, pants boots and snacks. These guys have it all.

July 18th @ 1:40 pm.I went to your store for 2 things. A tube of concrete filler and a Stihl leaf blower. I walked around in the Stihl area for about 10 min. Then I walked from one end to the other a few times. I found 1 gal checking trailer axles. There were two people at check out That makes 3 people in the hole store. REALLY!!!! Put your managers on the floor. There are no deals on Stihl products. The price is the price. I guess you dont need my money. Any Stihl dealer will do!!

We love coming here with our dogs. We have a new puppy who is 5 months old and we take her here when shopping to practice walking on a leash and socialize. Employees are awesome. They all come up to pet the dogs and ask if the can have a treat? Its great the the employees carry dog treats in their aprons. The little one had a accident and their was an employee right there to help us clean it up. I was completely embarrassed because she is potty trained and just got excited when being pet. The employee assured me it was not a problem at all and explained it happens a lot and thats why they have the paper towels and spray close by.

We made a purchase on November 13th and found the item we purchased online at a competitor for $27 less. Manager Ann exchanged for us and gave us the competitor price. She was kind and helpful. We are very happy with Runnings and the service we received. We drove 30 miles to shop there and will be back! Great job Ann and team.

Runnings products are generally decent quality at a good price. However, every time I visit the gun counter, the men behind the counter are grumpy and out right rude. I’d much rather go to fleet farm or other shops.

The managers are very rude to their employees. At 12:15 on the 4th of December. 2 young female managers were being horribly mean to a older female cashier. One of the managers name was Amy and the other one had blonde hair. I didn’t catch what the cashiers name was. Secondly they don’t honor the price they put on their boxes. I bought a pair of boots that were marked $1 but at the cashiers desk it rang up as $10. They should honor their prices but instead the managers started yelling at the cashier. Who ever the cashier was thank you for being kind and sorry you got treated that way. And the managers should be fired.

Higher priced items. Some good brands, some never heard of. Store was ok but its no fleet farm. Only 1 cashier working with a line of people. Another guy opened up and was friendly, so good on him. Will come back only if fleet farm is sold out of something.

Wow, I just called Runnings in Monticello and asked the guy if they had any camping rocking chairs in the store for sale. I need two by tomorrow and its hard finding stores that have them in stock. He said he didnt have time to go look. I said Thank you and hung up. What great service. Ive spent a lot of money at that store. I wont shop there again.

Great store. focused more on farmers but they have some stuff that at the off brand candy area that I always look at. Then they have a suger cane soda area that most of the time has new flavors in so I always end up buying some to try.

Every time we go into Runnings the employees are extremely friendly (it may help that we have the dog with us... which is another reason Runnings is so great...)! We were looking for a specific item on this trip and the employee we asked took us directly to it. Great experience!

Review №84

I always make a point to visit Runnings when Im in the area as we have a vacation spot nearby that we frequent in the past, but they have done NOTHING to make their customers feel safe while shopping there. Several employees wearing their masks under their chins or under their nose, no offer to provide masks upon entry as stated on their doors resulting in 10+ able bodied customers walzing around without masks, no sanitizer anywhere, no arrows on the floors, dirty cash registers and credit card machines. The bare shelves make it look like theyre going out of business, so I feel bad, but I wont be returning anyways. I feel inclined to report them to the state.

Not wearing masks is not acceptable now Grant the manager needs to change things. I have been a runnings customer since you opened. Walmart is going to require masks. If you want more business do the same thing as this will make your customers feel safe.

Joanne was amazing! I needed help Finding a very specific item, and she was willing to put the time into looking through the stockroom to find what I was looking for. When she couldnt find it, she offered to order it from a different store or have it shipped from the warehouse. She was very kind patient and caring throughout the whole thing! Great customer service and friendly.

They always have helpful staff and what I need. They have sturdy tools and equipment that will stand up to use as opposed to the typical big box home improvement store that has cheap tools and equipment. The stuff maybe be cheap, but is often cheaply made. When I buy tools I usually prefer to buy once and not disposable tools.

Prices are good, I shop around a lot for good prices and they are better than a lot of stores. I am very happy to shop at Runnings. I do not know anyone that works there, so take that out of your mind. Friendly people, and they smile, ( that is always nice ). A very good selection of goods.

Runnings has been a go to for my sporting goods needs, But it seems to be going down hill over the last month or 2. Tonight when i was there i waited for well over 5 min to get helped with a scoop of minnows, all while the manager chewed out 2 young men right in front of me, i watched the whole thing go down. Then she after she was done she asked me if i needed help (i wanted to tell her I wasnt standing there playing with the minnows...)and yelled at the boys again for not helping me... It was obvious i was standing there waiting for someone to scoop minnows. It has been way more unorganized than in the past. Its a shame, it use to be a good store.
