They were so friendly, helpful and kind. They offered to help me carry my items to the cashier as my hands were full of skates! They had an excellent selection of high end figure skates. They were attentive and kind. They also offered an exceptional return policy for a consignment store, any return within 15 days of purchase for full store credit!! I was overjoyed to and refreshed to shop at this local business with kind people and exceptional customer service! Thank you againππ
Helpful staff, well stocked hockey gear and great prices!
Great gear, super friendly service, fair prices. Have been stopping here for years.
I am glad to be heard about this place from my friend to buy diverse sports equipments for my children.
They gave me a good deal yesterday on a heavey bag stand with speed bag attachment. Best deal I could find anywhere.
Staff was helpful in finding a toddler tee ball glove.
Always great stuff and helpful staff. Skate sharpening on prem.
Warning: I came in to get my skates sharpened, obviously expecting to get my own skates backβ but I got someone elseβs skates and mine were lost. Never once did play it again sports apologize, and this situation was poorly managed. Everyone makes mistakes, but as a business, they should be prepared to adequately rectify the situation, (compensating the cost of new skates) which they did only partially. I am very disappointed, and this establishment has lost my future business.
Im not even sure how to rate this store. Its Covid days here these days so people want to be outside. The stock was limited and the staff were as helpful as they could be given the circumstances. I was instructed by staff to not put any item that I wanted, down anywhere, for any amount of time or someone else would take them. Lol. I got something similar to what I actually wanted. The whole experience was just ok. Ill go back if I have to.
I came looking for ice skates for myself and my male partner. They had plenty of mens options but their selection of womens skates was definitely lacking. They had a few types of figure skates and one option for hybrid skates that started at size 8. I guess women can only figure skate!
Significant COVID risk. I showed up at 3 pm ish on Saturday with my kid to get some skates. The store was super crowded with low ceilings and poor ventilation. My initial plan to get in and out quickly failed because a) its really hard to find what is when you are there for the first time, skates were at four different locations and b) the checkout was endless. One cashier fending off questions, buying, and selling. Line was winding through rows of shelves, no social distancing to speak of, everybody annoyed. Yes, masked, but home brew masks are not magical. That cured me from going to a retail store in pandemic.
I was pleasantly surprised by the options for new and used winter skis and skates.
Good, helpful, good customer service.
Didnt make much but they had a lot of equipment
They dont buy much
Every trip to this Play It Again ends in a success! Andrew specifically is always extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and provides a great customer experience for my son and I as we look for new and old hockey, LAX, football, and golfing gear.We also take advantage of their skate sharping services on a weekly basis in the winter. Again, Andrew is quick to acknowledge us with skates in hand, and his sharpening skills always boost our confidence for our next skate. Thanks for the great options, product, and service Play It Again Minnetonka!
Helpful staff and great selection. My six year old daughter wants to get into ice skating so I was able to find a used pair of skates that wouldnt break the bank, and also found a pair that I will return to buy if she decides to continue skating.
Got 2 hockey set ups for my kids. All the gear other than skates and sticks. Good prices on used gear and staff was helpful. Under 100 per setup after I was done.
Picked up some decent used broomball gear
Walked in and was greeted immediately by a really nice gentleman. Needed a few items and he walked me through everything. Good prices if looking for stuff for the little ones.
Love it! The people who work here are very helpful. They always welcome me right when I come in and help me find exactly what Im looking for. The prices are usually lower than expected. Makes shopping for kids sports gear very easy and fast. Definitely check here first before your buy new, even if you have to drive a ways.
Got probably some of the best customer service I have ever gotten tonight. Thanks for the help with the skis and boots, John!I live closer to a different location, but they earned my gratitude and a new customer tonight.
Equipment seemed in good shape and the pricing was fair. The staff was unwelcoming and rude to both me and my child. I wouldnβt recommend this particular store.
Great selection, helpful staff. Sometimes the prices are a little more than I would expect to pay, but with enough digging, you can find something that suits your needs.
Huge selection of stuff and very helpful staff. We were able to get everything we needed for a first time skier, and the staff took lots of time making sure we had the right equipment.
Best place around to buy hockey gear. Staff are always very helpful and gear is reasonably priced. Good way to play hockey on a budget.
The staff at this location where are so amazing and helpful. My son needed cleats and shin guards and gloves for soccer and they went above and beyond and helping us making sure everything fit right and was the right thing we needed.
They have a good selection of equipment. During the winter they have good prices on skates. They have a good amount of frisbee discs also.
Not one of the three people working welcomed me into the store or helped me find the gear I was looking for. The two women working the checkout just kept chatting. Sadly Ill be going to another sporting goods store to get proper customer service and gear even if I have to pay more for it.
Great staff and great selection. We got all our lacrosse equipment for two kids. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful.
Dont want to drop a car payment on youth sports equipment that your child will grow out of anyway? Boom! PIAS is the spot! Great quality, great hospitality/knowledge. Im a lifer
OPEN NOW! Love used stuff
Both employees were too busy on personal phones to say hello. Meager hockey goaltender equipment matched with elevated Minnetonka prices.Check out PIAS in Roseville to see how it should be done!
I used to work for PIAS in the late 90s. The motto then was great customer service. Apparently that has changed at this particular store. They no longer are willing to haggle on the price of USED equipment. Attempted to buy a couple of travel golf bags. The hardshell was priced reasonably as a used item. The softside was priced as a new item, although it was obviously used. I asked for a discount and was flat out denied. I have been to other PIAS stores in the TC area and know that they are owned by different people so maybe it is an owner thing, but to not negotiate on used items, and I wasnt asking for the store, is stupid, counterproductive and poor customer service, particularly when the used item is well overpriced as compared to new.
Amazingly large selection. Unfortunately staff are few and far between, and too busy talking to each other to help. I found my roller blades myself and had to flag someone down to check out. Regardless, they had an unrivalled selection that I would return to.
Only place I bring my skate for sharpening. It is perfect every time. Also great selection of used equipment.
Walked in directly to the desk, there were three or four employees standing around. Most of them scattered when we walked up, I told the two people left standing there what I needed. The lady said yep and turned her back, the young man begrudgingly took us over to the area of stuff we needed. Didnt ask if we wanted new or used. I mentioned we were new to the sport, but he didnt really have suggestions as to what we might need. They might make more sales if they at least pretend to want to help their customers.
Got exactly what I needed the staff was helpful in what I needed and told me what was a good deal for the quality and such. Great place for ho key equipment.
Best place to get sports gear in cheap. You can also sell your used sports gear.
Friendly staff. Great selection of used and new Play It Again brand items. Fair prices.
Go for all new and used hockey anything...
Nice place to buy all Winter sport gears... Reasonable price...
Good selection of products. Could be more organized.
What a horrible experience! My family was in today with the intention of buying over $100 worth of merchandise. After receiving absolutely no help in an almost empty store and wandering around finding our items, our 4 year old asked to use the bathroom. We were very rudely told that the restroom was not for customer use under any conditions. We put everything back and left. This store wont be getting my business!
The value proposition is a bit of a mystery to me. Before the internet and Craigs list and all of the person to person apps maybe this made sense. But the cost for retail space and employee wages inflates the price on 2nd hand equipment. Value is hit or miss in my experience. I went there for example recently for free weights and they ran about 0.56 cents a pound. Thats half what you would pay new. But also 2x-3x what you would pay on Craigs list. That said, hockey sticks at the end of the season can be a pretty good deal. And you are crazy to buy a new baseball bat- there are decent options at PIAS. Skates can be a decent deal too if you hit the store at the right time. I do like that they will wheel and deal with you! The guys working there always tend to be friendly and helpful where they know something about a sport and its equipment.
For the lower end used skates, once you factor in the cost of sharpening it makes more sense to buy new at a big box or online.
Nice assortment, mostly used some new. Help available but not pushy
Great low cost sporrs stuff
Just like some of the other reviews, when my kids and I walked in nobody welcomed us or even offered to help. I had to Google all my questions to figure out what I needed.We were the only ones in the store and the 3 employees that were there were just standing around at the register talking to each other. Will not go there again
Great store has everything that you could want. Seasonal selection is off the chain. Very knowledgeable staff.
Found skates for myself and my three daughters for 100.00. easy to shop!
Sweet deals. Store was busy so help might be slow but the deals make up for any lack in service.
I went in to buy used skis for my daughter. They told me they had a 14-day return policy. It turned out that the skis had weird bindings and I couldnt find boots that works, so I took them back after 4 days. They then told me that since they sold us used skisβwe hadnt used themβthey would only offer store credit and not a refund. There was a sign on the counter, but I didnt see it when I paid and the guy who told me 14-day return policy didnt mention that it was only good for store credit. Will never shop there again.
Very helpful staff lots of stuff there for the whole family
Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. They had a great selection!
Went in and they outfitted my daughter for all of her sports at a very reasonable price.
A very good selection of new and used hockey, baseball and lacrosse equipment.
Great service
Great staff, very knowledgeable and they do an amazing job sharpening skates
Knowledgeable staff helps this unknowledgeable mom find the right gear.
Excellent selection of used and new sports equipment. Excellent customer service.
Good place to get used sports equipment at a reasonable price.
We always go here for the sport equipment of our child. Stuff is very helpful, good choice of used skates.
Decent selection. Service is mediocre. Prices on some items are ridiculous for used equipment.
Helpful staff, lots of gear at good prices.
Fixed my glove and did a great job
Overall a pretty decent place that has a wide variety of sports equipment. One of the guys is very pushy when but I think he thinks hes being helpful.
Had good help here. The prices were fair but not great.
Great spot for equipping kids with inexpensive sports great.
Not very helpful staff. No public restroom.
Great store...lower prices than Way to Go Sports and larger inventory
I was able to find used kids skates at a reasonable price.
They helped me pick out the best skates for a great price. I will be a repeat customer .
Helpful and friendly staff! Will visit again soon!
They are always friendly always helpful thats why I keep returning
When the big name store didnt have what I need, this place came through! Great customer service too!
Great deals on used equipment and clean store.
The few times I have gone into this store I get horrible help from the staff, if any at all. Today I went in with the intention of buying used ice skates, the salesman helped me try on one pair, was pulled away from a co-worker, but said hed be right back, but never came back....as I walked out he was doing something else.
Awesome store with great equipment for good prices!
Great selection, good prices, knowledgeable staff
Great recommendations, and prices.
Helpful. Got what I needed and more.
Excellent selection of used gear!
Good spot for skis
Good used store.
Hit or miss. The selection can be super limited to almost nonexistent depending on what people have brought in recently.
Great place to find new and used equipment for a great price. Not the best customer service though.
I felt like some things were overpriced for the condition thyeey were in. They do however have a decent selection.
I took a bunch of used hockey gear that was just collecting dust in the garage and they gave me 138 dollars for it
The place we check first for used sport equipment.
Good prices and selection.
The staff was incredibly rude, unwilling to help, no knowledge of equipment, poor selection
Good selection, fair service.
Great for reusing sports equipment
Great Sport Shop
New and used hockey equipment. Very busy place
Brian was super helpful!
Used stuff at good prices
Good and cheep store
