Big 5 Sporting Goods

The store is really cramped and no one really comes to help you or is very friendly. They carry most items as any other stores, however; they don’t price match and don’t give military discount. So this is the last time I’ll purchase anything from the store; I rather spend my money at other stores that value and appreciate my business.

I would of gave them 4 stars but last time I wanted to change my sons shoes for a different number and they acted all stingy saying they needed the Visa card wich the shoes where purchased with! I didn’t want my money back all I needed was a different size and they couldn’t do that cuz I didn’t have the Visa card! So what if it would of been a BDAY present? I was really disappoint with this service!!!

Great store awesome variety, but the service was ok :(Came in for an item and was disappointed for the help that i needed. For a second, i thought i was being ingnored because a salesperson saw me looking at him and went straight to the back. Tried looking for another sales associate but found them all surrounded in the front and at the register talking about what they were going to do on there weekend. Finally got the help i needed and when i was going to ask for something else, he was already gone. Went to the front to pay for my item and with no line stood there and waited to be called because they look super busy. One of the woman associates looked at me and addressed me to the register in a tone that shouldnt be given to a customer.

Good deals can be had at brick and mortar sporting goods store, even in our e-​retailing era.
I was in the market for a softball glove and really did not have time to comparison shop. So, if they had a glove that fit, I was most likely going to buy it.
I ended up trying quite a few gloves and finally settled on a Nike softball glove, the original price on this glove was $ 70. Quite pricy I thought. Some gloves seemed to have a neon tag, indicated that they were on sale. So, when I went to the register, I asked the checkout person to price check the glove (in hopes that it would be on sale); the price would be the deciding factor of whether I took the glove or not. It turned out that the glove was on sale, $ 40. Later online research indicated that this was a really good deal; I could not find the same glove under $ 60 in any other internet site.
My assessment is that Big 5 is a good place to get your sporting goods; however, not everything is clearly priced. And, some items are on sale as advertised in their flyer, but this is not always evident on the items in the store. It is always best to get a price check at the counter to verify whether items are on sale or not.

This Big 5 is not bad. They have a decent selection of every category. As a swimmer I look for a good swimming section. They have a lot of goggles and a good selection of swimming suits. They carry TYR, speedo, Nike. We have bought other things too, like infamercial stuff. It isn’t dirty or messy.

Small, but it has a pretty good selection for the size. I usually go for the rash guards they sometimes have some random sake going on and you can find some good deals. I got a huge good quality yoga ball for $ 10! I was pretty stoked on that deal! But it’s not terrible but it’s also not great either. It’s decent and when you need sport equipment or wear fast it gets the job done.
