Memory Lane Sports

If your looking for sports memorabilia than Memory Lane Sports is a great place to start. I have shopped their Pembroke Mall location in the past and it closed in February. I think that leaves the local business with two stores now. I called around to several local sporting good stores and found that finding my item would offer a challenge.The selection is strong and a definite emphasis on NFL items of all types. The displays were attractive and the store clean. I am pretty sure square foot wise this store is larger than Pembroke. I think this move was smart, Lynnhaven brings in a lot of traffic and after a recent remodel is on the up swing. You will find the store beside Dicks Sporting Goods and across from Dave & Busters which should assist you in parking if this is your only stop.I was in search for a Miami Dolphins Jersey for my son's birthday. Sizing for a 12 year old would be tough. They did have a Small which is hard to come by, but no Youth sizing in until end of Summer. If your ordering online through various websites this is not a problem, but attempting to find the right jersey and size locally can be tough so he would have something to open along with Redskins v. Dolphins home opener tix... oh yeah this was going to be great! I decided to go for it.The salesman Bart did a fantastic job of assisting me and chatting about various type of items in the store. I mentioned to him that when I called there was no answer and he confirmed yelp had the Pembroke location number that closed and he thought the phone would roll over to the new location. Upon checking out Bart gave me a 10% discount for my trouble on trying to reach them which was sweet. They also offer a 10% discount for military, fire and police. The extra step that would have brought the review to a 5 was a reminder of the NO RETURN POLICY especially since I discussed sizing was an issue. As it ended up it was way too big. I returned to the store and dealt with a female staff member. I found out about the no return policy. She was apologetic regarding the communication and pointed out the policy directly in front the cash register. She was professional and helpful through the transaction of issuing an in store credit. Hopefully in late Summer I will be able to find the Youth size that I need.I would recommend the store even with a hiccup in communication of a no return policy. Part of the blame I must bare, the sigh was in front of me at checkout. However, in my situation of discussing sizing it's a perfect time for staff to provide this info. The service was strong, the selection is excellent and you will walk away with some type of cool item that is difficult to locate locally else where. I will be back by late Summer if not before.

I'm not quite sure what is going on at this place. The guy working said they've only been open for a month but my memory serves as this spot being a sports store for athletic team shirts, jerseys, glasses, bags, etc.Of course, I have to support my 49ers so I popped in yesterday and picked up a throw blanket, hat and t-shirt. There was only one guy working but he was so helpful to everyone there. I said that I'm a 49er fan and he went through the trouble of showing me all that he had. I was ready to drop a bunch of money because this guy was so helpful. I'm certain to be back to pick up a few more items. Total spent was around $100 and I was pleased.This place is inside the mall. Enter through Dick's Sporting Goods or Dave and Buster's. :)

I came in here today searching for a Cowboys Jersey or shirt. Everything on the rack was either a small or medium on the women's side. I am not that large, but not every lady is a small! I feel as though this place discriminates against a more larger or plus size clientele. Every time I come in here there are only smalls. I was not greeted when I walked in, however, I was rudely asked if there was anything they could help me find and I simply asked why a larger size selection was not available or if they have any other sizes in the back and the sales woman, whatever her name was, said rudely "I get asked a lot of questions and I don't have an answer for you". Okay. Fair enough. I went to Dicks Sporting Goods and found what I needed. I always thought this store was so cool, such cool unique sports memorabilia, but after today I will never be back. I felt discriminated against, judged and that my business was unappreciated and unwanted.

The guy was super knowledgeable and very friendly. They have all the sports memorabilia you can imagine.

Memory Lane Sports is very nice when it comes to sports memorabilia. But it does what all other sports shops do...lack of diversity to sell more team names. There are teams that have risen (made the playoffs), and yet the store offers only the same "10" teams of each sport in season. Would like to walk into a sports store and see the new items have more teams.

Great shop in the mall for sports fans big and small. I have found so many cool gifts for friends and family in this store.
