David Thrower: Got into a bind with my rollerskates. I stripped the Kingpin and couldn't find a way to get my custom trucks off without completely destroying my plate. Pat sawed through the kingpin by hand for over 2 hours nonstop to get my trucks off. Dude is a complete legend. Highly recommend this shop.

Mez Antonio: Good gear good attitude owner has a good heart ! Very knowledgeable!

KAIJU BONES: Best skate shop in the gosh darn universe. Owner is super helpful, people are super friendly, and general vibe is super chill and welcoming.

Wes Frye: I took my son here for his first skateboard. Patrick was really good with him and taught him how to properly build and maintain his skateboard. He was very patient and a great teacher.

Donna Orourke: Patrick is personable knowledgeable and patient! Great experience! Thanks!

Ricky W: Pat is the man! I am an OG East Charlotte skate rat from the 80’s. I decided recently that I miss skateboarding and was surprised to find a local skate shop right here in East Clt. One phone call to Pat at Armada and I knew I found my spot. I told him I was an old fat dude that wanted to rekindle his skinny young dude skateboarding days. He said “No prob, fam! We have all you need. We’ll even provide the bubble wrap to keep you safe!” Sold.3 days later, I walk in and begin looking around all wide eyed and excited. He had me pegged as bubble wrap guy right away.An hour later, I walked out with a new Powell-Peralta Andy Anderson Flight Deck with all the goodies as well as a better grasp of the skate scene of today versus 34 years ago. Lots of the same names continue to provide quality gear and Pat’s shop carries most of them.Skip the internet purchase and give Armada a visit. You may just learn something!

Karyn Jester: Pat is Charlotte's Willy Wonka of skateboards. He is knowledgeable, relatable, and charismatic. Everyone wins a golden ticket at Armada.

Travis: An absolutely great place. Pat is welcoming, honest, knowledgeable and meticulous. He set up my kids with boards and spent his valuable time giving us tons of information. One star reviews for Armada are baffling to me! Go to Armada and give them your business, we need more places like this.

Boss Jay: Don't know why but, one of the sales reps pretty much discouraged me from spending any money in this store. Either liar's or not very knowledgeable about there products.

Malcolm Kerlin: Great place to grab a new ride. Nice easy going and professional.

John Dungan: Amazing experience and kindness from Armada. The sense of community this shop radiates is fantastic. A fan for life.

Christina Ortiz: Thank you so much.

Bethany Maverick: Customer service is consistently on point. Nick goes above and beyond and has helped me through every step of my skating journey (switching skates, figuring out my size etc).Charlotte lucked out by getting Derby City Skates here. Always recommend them!

JJ Wise: Best Roller/Inline skate shop around! Excellent service.

Michael Finn: Great local shop, very knowledgeable, prices are good. They are willing to spend time with you to make sure you get what you're looking for.First time there, will go back.

Abigail: Nick was really helpful & resourceful. The store had great inventory. 10/10

Michael Kenas: Kevin was very nice to meet us on his day off and set us up with a great set of skates for cruising the light rail trail in style and comfort. He has a great selection and good guidance on how to pick the right fit. It really made our day.

Katrina McLean: Excellent customer service. We drove from 2hrs away and glad that we did. He was very helpful and took the time to answer all our questions and adjusted/set up my skates for me.

Kenneth Archie: You will not find a better place to buy skates!!!

Krystle Wilson: I love Derby City Skates! Today was my first day in the shop and Nick was so awesome — he’s nice, patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. I had a couple of quad skates in mind prior to coming to the shop, but I asked Nick to give me his recommendations based on fit and preferred use. Nick patiently helped me find the perfect fit and customized my skates in the shop for use and style. Yes, this is a small boutique shop, but Derby City Skates has a wide variety of skates, wheels, and more (and they’re able to pull inventory from the other store). Derby City Skates will be my go to shop in Charlotte!

Christopher Edwards: Very knowledgeable and helpful and helped my wife and myself re-enter the world of skate and rollerblading.

Christie Edwards: Nick is very patient and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back!

Mike Dean: Got me rolling in no time!! 🙌🏽

Christopher Berry: A wonderful little shop with everything you could need for roller skating. Staff was really friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend checking them out.

Dennis Cunningham: Extremely knowledgeable and helpful Making sure all my questions and concerns were answered and help me with choosing the correct protective gear for me. I will return to purchase a pair of roller skates

Dasola Olanrewaju: The owner (Nick) was very knowledgeable and helpful. For the current skating shartages right now these prices are more than reasonable. I'll be back for sure.

Aszure Evans: Just getting back into skating and owner/mgr was wonderful and helpful with info. Linked me up with some skate group info and advice.

Alex Vacharat: The store owner was incredibly helpful, patient and knowledge with *all* of my many questions. Went from nothing to having a full set of skating gear - can’t wait to use them when I get home!

Garrott Grobbin: Awesome little skate shop. I was pretty impressed with their stock of inlines as it seems nobody carries them nowadays. 10/10 will go again.

Angela Rader: Trustworthy. The guy helped me with my wheels that I wanted and gave me a discount for one’s off an another pair. Definitely come in for all your skate needs!

sergey ganchenko: Great skate store,bought my wife some moxi skates and she loves them

Q B: Had exactly what I needed, and was very helpful!

Oakley Miller: Stopped selling fishing gear

Lara Berger: This machine was supposed to help shoppers notify staff of a shoe(s) they wanted to try on. I tried it and discovered it was easier to flag down an employee. Those minutes when I thought the technology would work were super frustrating because other people were being helped and no one asked if I needed anything. The kiosk seems like a good idea but the staff needs to use it otherwise you have a bad experience. That or lose the kiosk altogether so you’re not setting up a false expectation.

alice cullen: loved it fr 🏾 🏾 🏾

Jayden Lawrence: manager and employees have a complete disregard towards customers. They will not help you if anything goes wrong, and plus they have employees that just sit around and not help anyone that’s needs it.

Elizabeth Cheux: I mean if you are looking for clothing or shoes or just to pick up something like tennis balls and you know exactly what you need this store is fine. The employees we’ve encountered in the apparel section were helpful, the selection is good, and we have gotten what we needed.But today I went in prepared to spend $$$ on adjustable weights and home gym equipment which I had been planning to purchase this month. I was shopping online originally but decided to come in to a store and look so I could see the different options in person and handle them to see which were most comfortable for me. There was not a single employee who could help me, demonstrate how the items I was interested in worked, or offer comparisons. The only employee in the section knew nothing about any of the equipment (not his fault, he clearly wasn’t trained in this section) and was super unhelpful. I waited 20-30 minutes for someone else who never came. Also the gym equipment section physically looks scavenged over- display items are damaged and things have lots of missing pieces. The employee told me everything was ‘on the floor’ so apparently they only thing they have to sell for the high end stuff is semi-damaged floor models? It’s a pretty hard sell to expect someone to shell out $450+ for a scuffed up unpackaged floor model which may or may not work properly. That is the impression I was left with.It is what it is I guess! Happy with the shoes I bought but will look elsewhere for gym equipment.

Garv Papneja: Good new balances shoes for a good price.

Matthew Andrychuk: Returns police bad. Bought item cost$75 with tax 2 days ago. Only received store credit of $60 with gift card. Showed proof of purchase on Discover card statement. Manager could not help.

Tammy Foor: The employees were very helpful and polite.

Brent Frost: No guns or ammo. Not really a “sporting” place.

Retail Customer: Someone has already said it - this is not a Sporting Goods store; this is a clothing store - a lousy one. I found only one brand of the item I was searching for. Only one model, with a poor feature set, high price, and the zipper didn't work. Loud, offensive rap (e.g. anger) "music" blaring from overhead. No employee participation. No reason to ever go there. I left.

Russell Harris: The sales guy was extremely helpful. A really nice kid.

Bryan Crigger: Had a wonderful experience here when I was buying a bike for my daughter. We got helped by Lauren in the bike department and she was so cool and helpful. She got us the best bike for our money. We were looking at one that would have fit our daughter, but she showed us how another one would get us the same result at about 30% cheaper. Since she was so cool, I decided to go ahead and get myself a bike and a bike rack for the car. Definitely swing by here for your bike needs and be sure to ask for Lauren. She is great!

Edward Taylor: Too expensive, didn't have what we were looking for.

J. J. McQuade: Running, Basketball, Golf, Fußball,Darts, Tischtennis, Biking, American Football, Baseball, Tennis, Softball, Kraftsport, Ausdauersportler u.v.m. bietet Dick‘s Sporting Goods im Southpark auf 2 Ebenen an. Einfach gigantisch der Laden

Jonatan Lopez: Big assortment of official nba shirts. Love the soccer leagues section

David Morris: Google directed me here for "fishing near me". ZERO fishing. Waste of time.

t j: Bought a $90 basketball to have to return it because it was super lumpy and wouldn’t even roll in a straight line, replaced it with another, same problem. Then tried to get shoes but they only had one pair in the entire store over size 10. If I wanted to try some on I’d have to buy them and order them to try on but I could return. Sorry I’m not going to drop $700 to just try some shoes on to see if they fit. Being able to ship to store and try on so they’re never in my possession should be a very easy option. If I didn’t want to drop $700 to try some on I guess I could go one by one and maybe find a shoe that fits 3 weeks from now. But no I just went somewhere else. But if you’re not going to keep anything in stock and make them buy online why even have a store?

mommy vaj: Drove an hour & 30 minutes to this location since they have my husband’s running shoes in stock. The store itself is well organized & clean. However, the service wasn’t so great. The lady at the shoe department was just talking to this customer the whole time. When we needed help for shoe size she kept saying she will be right there. We were in the store for almost an hour & just walked out. Wasted of time!

Brandon McCarty: really disappointing visit. I arrived at the store, and tried the e-bike “demo” they had on display. After riding it for approximately 20 seconds, a short lady with short hair very rudely asked me to get off, saying that it wasn’t a toy after learning that I wasn’t gonna buy one at that moment. It’s a demo. It’s meant to be ridden. This negatively impacted my experience at the store, and I left immediately after. All the other workers were very helpful other than that.

Sofia Kerns: Great sporting goods store!!! Kid friendly and a batting cage up on 2nd level!!! We love this store for kids shoes and clothes!! They have everything you need in the sporting world!!

Anthony DeNino: Staff was nice and helpful but this place continues to be overpriced.

Tanesha Williams (GeekofGod): I must say Hezekiah was the best, he was patient...I was shopping for some new work sneakers, I must have tried on 10 pairs and he never complained. I will be back

Transformation Builders LLC: Service was not as good and selection was limited so we had to go to a competitor store.

Bob: Did a good job at re stringing a catchers mitt that seemed to be defective. Appreciated them doing it quickly.

Jay Ayers: Super selection!! Thank you for having great staff, Mikayla was a great help very very helpful 😀Prices are great also

Justin Marchon: This is twice I have been unimpressed with this store and would rather go to a competitor or even worse drive an hour to another store. I'm the back where the coolers are there is absolutely no price tags on anything which makes shopping a pain. It's the only sporting goods store I've seen with no fishing gear.

Chris Wojtasik: Awesome, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Great products. Great selection.We were very satisfied with our purchases and will be back!

Mike Carpenter: Great service. Everyone was nice

B Hilson: Called ahead looking for extra wide (4E) running shoes. Responsive and helpful over phone; quick and courteous in person. Great shoe department!

Bashar Shabani: Spent 20 minutes on hold asking about a pair of cleats. unacceptable

Nicholas Floyd: Just did not have what I went for.

Neal Know: The store is in a great location. This store is smaller than most stores.

P.K. George: A clothing store and golf shop. A waste of time if your into outdoors. A waste of time.

S Gonchar: 👍 good

Lyuba Balan: Not so good. Not a lot of variety or options in color and size of the lofe jackets. Didn't find what we came for. The coupon code website had did not worked. Online have better deals / options / price

James Blanchard: Very helpful staff, went above and beyond to help a customer.

Kendra Johnson: The lady Kim, I'm assuming she was the mgr on duty. She greeted me as I entered and I let her know I had an order of shoes on hold, but I had a little browsing to do. She saw to it that she checked on that and she had them waiting up from when I checked out. Gonzo did a good job at checkout also.

Cory Milbourn: This used to be my go to spot for hunting supplies. They no longer carry anything hunting. I guess it’s because anything related to guns are bad.

Thomas Elswick: Friendly staff. Multiple employees asked if I need help with anything.

Darold wedel: The shoe salesperson was clueless.
