Best sporting goods store in Mason City, Iowa (IA) 2024

Found what we were looking for.. no thanks to the four employees there in the empty store. They have good stock and inventory, which is decently priced. We were not greeted entering the store. The two men and one younger lady were standing at the front clothing rack, leaning on it gossiping about sports. We walked around the store til we found what we hoped was what we needed. I chased my son around the store to keep him from playing with the equipment. We were there for more than eight minutes with no one asking if we needed help. Finally, a guy came to ask us if we were finding things. At that point we had already found the shin guards, socks, mouth guard, and shorts. Another woman walked in with her son and were over at the spot we had been and it took a good five minutes til the guy went to ask if she needed help. She was relieved to have someone assisting her as it was her son's first time at the sport. The guy who cashed us out seemed to be having a bad day as he was cold, put the stuff in the bag, read out the total, took my card and that was it. I hope that this experience was just an off day.. yet.. having four employees.. you would think more than one would be able to show customers where stuff is and welcome them to the store. ******UPDATE******** I went back to the store to get some more stuff and to see if it had just been an off day. I am happy to report that I have had good customer service! ~Cathleen
