Academy Sports + Outdoors, Belton MO

I live about 30 miles away so I check online & call before making the drive. Academy gets 3 stars because online is wrong a lot more than right. Even after calling to verify the gun is there it isn't. I am told been out of stock for months. Ammo is limited in today's world but same thing. Will not waste my time going there again. I "was" a long time buyer.

It's always a nice visit to go there it's a very nice kept store there is only one thing that could be better that's the preises they to high for my wallet but otherwise very nice and friendly workers when you ask a question you get an answer with a smile

Academy Sports has a lot of great stuff. I got a Bell's bike rack that was really easy to use and also got baseballs and a bat with a tee-ball setup for my kid. However, appearantly they don't recognize Nascar as a sport because I went there looking for some Nascar gear for the next race at Kansas Speedway and Academy had none. Maybe a licensing issue but that bummed me out.

Five stars for having a great selection and Fair prices on my favorite charcoal and smoking wood. Curbside pickup went smoothly.

Everytime I look for something in particular, it's always not available. They said I can come back, but this is the closest one in 30 miles of where I live.

Nice clean store with friendly helpful staff.prices are considerably higher on name brands like Columbia, exact shirts from previous seasons that are still full price here are 5 to 9.99 at Ross so be careful about getting fooled into paying too much for old designs. They could DEFINITELY use a better selection of North Face as there was LITERALLY 3 items in the mens department yet they have signage for them like they ate a full retailer.
The store inside its rather boring compared to the competition that's all over the kc market.no thrills here, no cool displays, boring store design with very little reason to go through the store vs.direct to what you need and out.

This location is my go to Academy! We love the employees here! They are so helpful and cheerful! The store is always neat and clean!

Good quality products. We couldn't find anyone to assist us. We searched all around finally went to the checkout line to see if they could get someone to help us. When he did come over to help he knew nothing about any of the products. He just gave false answers to appease us.

I bought a set a lifting weights here. The place is nice, cleaned, and organized. The staff is friendly and helpful get my weights set from checkout and loaded on to my car. It is place to get your sports supplies!

My 8 yr.old son wanted some football gear for the upcoming flag football season and was so pumped to go pick out some gloves and a mouthpiece from your store as we have the past 3 years. Once we walked through the door we were greated by a nice older gentleman/senior citizen stating that we had to wear a mask. I proceeded to tell him that we will be fine. He stated that we had to wear one and pointed to a little table with a box of masks and some hand sanatizer. I told the man that we wont wear one and that we will not be back. My son was devistated. That is what this whole mask thing is doing to our children. Complete mind control. Anyways, we come home and got on Amazon, which I cannot stand either, but guess what!? !? !? !? Their inventory is way better! Tons of stuff at a cheaper price! I feel bad for the underpaid, undervalued elderly man that you stuck at the front door to turn people away.it is truly sad that in a county and city that has no mask mandate, that you have chosen this stance. I will not be back to spend money at your store as we have everything at the tips of our fingers, and a way better selection.

The 2 box limit on ammo is annoying when you wait in line for an hour and a half. I get the shortage and making sure everyone gets ammo, but people drive from out of town (me included) and wait in line for 2 boxes. If they don't have bulk packs (which you can only get 1 of) then it's not worth it. Bass pro has a 5 box limit, may need to switch up.

I came to make my first firearm purchase and the 3 guys helping customers honestly were not very nice and just seemed to be mentally checked out and ready to clock out. They didn't really seem to care about my genuine questions and desire to learn. Go to the overland park location, they got through the line more quickly and really genuinely congratulated me on the decision, they offered me advice, referred me to products and made me laugh. Meanwhile I asked the employees here for some products and they just vaguely said they probably had them and didn't even bother to leave the gun counter and show me. It wasn't terrible, but the contrast in customer service is the reason for the review and I feel should be noted

PSA - prepare to wait awhile if your going to the gun area. The line was long and it took 30-40 mins

Could not get help with shoes. Very few employees because manager didn't properly schedule workers. Asked for assistance 3 times and waited an hour. Very disappointed, but price's and a great cashier are what made me purchase anything. Otherwise I would not ever go back. Hopefully next time will be better.

I found some nice BCG long sleeved shirts that fit very well and some nice Pants. The staff was very helpful and accommodating for my visual impairment.

We drove all the way from Warsaw, Missouri to get a shot gun that the website said was in stock but it wasn't even though the website was still saying it was in stock while we were at the store. Also the associate in the gun section was very rude and unprofessional. Won't be back to this location. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Don’t believe what they say they have in stock on their website. Drove 30 miles to get there and nothing it the website said was in stock was there. The employee said that he was not surprised and he couldn’t tell us anything about the only treadmill that he had and was totally rude and not helpful. We asked if we could at least look at the picture on the box to see what it was like and he replied, “It’s only a box. ”

I love academy sports but the employee named Gigi is absolutely worthless.she’s condescending to customers and thinks she’s some shinning knight employee.she’s rude and unprofessional and should be terminated immediately

I rarely leave bad reviews for businesses. We are frequent shoppers at Academy and usually have good service. Today my mother and I went to do a return for my elderly grandmother on a pair of jeans she bought for my brother. She had lost the receipt. We got the same jeans just in a different color and they said they were not the same jeans (even though they were) and said they could not exchange them. They then tried to tell us we could get $2 for the jeans “per their policy”. Obviously, we declined and asked them to please just ship us the same pair in a direct exchange. They then said we had to pay for the jeans and the shipping and give them the jeans. Throughout this process the cashier, GiGi, and the manager treated us rudely and as if we were incompetent even though they were the ones not explaining things correctly and at one point I would say lying to us about what they were doing. They would tell us they were “fixing” the issue but then continuing to do the same deal we declined. Very disappointing. Sad that my grandmother spent her hard earned money on those jeans to give my brother a nice gift despite drowning in medical bills and all they can give us for the jeans is $2 back. Nor would they do a DIRECT EXCHANGE FOR THE SAME JEANS JUST IN A DIFFERENT COLOR! Ridiculous.

First time visit to Academy Sports. I am so impressed by the sales associates. They are super helpful and knowledgeable. Am so impressed I will return. Their prices are very reasonable. Now I know where I go from now on.

Had 3 shotguns on the gun wall.virtually no ammo.sold out of guns or they sold out to the gun takers.to be determined.
