Readers' Choice: Sporting Goods Stores
Tell us where you go in Acworth, Kennesaw, Powder Springs, Dallas, Hiram and surrounding areas in Cobb and Paulding counties to get ready for whatever games you play.
If you watched 300-yard drives flying around Augusta National during The Masters this weekend, you know that the right equipment is crucial to getting the most out of your talent in golf and many other sports.
This week's Readers' Choice survey builds on that lesson and asks a simple question: Where is your favorite store to buy sporting goods?
To make the game a little more fun, we're going to pick one winner for Acworth Patch, Kennesaw Patch, West Cobb Patch and Dallas-Hiram Patch combined, so you're voting not only for your favorite store, but also for town pride.
The choices:
- Ambush Boarding.
- Bicycle Jones.
- Boneshaker Bicycles.
- The Chainstation.
- Dick's Sporting Goods.
- Evolution Bike Shop.
- Golfsmith.
- Hibbett Sports (Dallas).
- Hibbett Sports (Hiram).
- Hibbett Sports (Kennesaw).
- Legend Outfitters.
- Paulding Sporting Goods.
- Play It Again Sports.
- PRO Sports Team Outfitters.
- PTS Sports.
- REI Kennesaw.
- The Sports Authority (Kennesaw).
- The Sports Authority (Hiram).
We can't add any stores to this poll, but if your favorite is missing, tell us in the comments below so we'll know for next time.
You have until 9 a.m. Friday to vote.
The winner will be based equally on the poll results and on positive reviews and ratings on the directory listings for the businesses. So after you vote in the poll, be sure to click on the name of the business above so you can give your pick a five-star rating and review.
If there's a tie, we'll break it based on the most positive comments, so tell us why you chose your favorite store in the comment space below.
We will announce the winner at noon Friday.
Next week we'll revel in the beautiful spring weather and ask you which restaurant has your favorite outdoor dining area. If you have suggestions for restaurant patios to include in the poll, share them in the comment space below.

Pretty soon we can vote for Academy Sports! When I need sporting goods at a great price, I drive to Gadsden, AL!

Unfortunately, the poll here ends Friday at 9 a.m., so Academy unfortunately didn't make it in on time. But we'll hope you'll return when it opens and review the store here on Patch!
