Big 5 Sporting Goods

Although this store carries various name brand sports equipment and accessories, the prices seem too high. There’s no middle ground and I end up going online to get better prices. They really could use more pratical camping gear too. Please stop making me settle for Walmart. Become more competitive please.

It’s a small town sporting goods store. The selection is pretty good and their seasonal sports offerings are fantastic. When soccer season rolls around, AYSO enrolls about 1200 kids in the area. Not all of them shop at Big 5 for cleats, shin guards, and balls but enough do that they go through a lot of volume. That being said, they always have a good selection and the same thing applies to baseball and other sports seasons, too.
I’ll echo what others have said in that the customer service is fantastic. The people are great and I’m always greeted with a friendly smile when I walk in the store. It’s a great place and my kids love browsing the place. It’s nice to have stores like this in town.

Love the service at this store.
No, it is not always perfect but overall service is great. Some very helpful people working in various departments, especially the firearm and ammunition.
Now and then I’m asked for my id several times on a single visit but that’s the exception. They are also great at checking stock by phone to save a trip or to locate an item in another store and offer to have it held.
I am on the road a lot and have the opportunity to shop at other Big 5 stores but this is my favorite by far. Their management deserves accolades as they have created and maintain a high level of customer service.
It’s also helpful that the people who work here camp, play sports, hunt, fish etc. It’s refreshing to have a salesperson, especially a female, who really knows the merchandise and how it works in the real world.

Limited selection with a small town feel. The customer service is what makes this place. That, and the AWESOME price that I got on the youth golf clubs for my kid. They have pretty much everything that you expect in a sporting goods store. Located in the Albertson’s plaza.

I really love Big 5. Let’s be honest, there’s not really a lot in the area if you’re looking for sports equipment /​wear. I mean, I guess I could go to Walmart, but…
So, every time I’ve been there so far there’s been some sort of sale. I started playing softball this year and was able to get cleats and pants at a great price. They’ve got a good selection of equipment as well.
The staff in the shoe department has always been friendly and helpful. I don’t think I’ve ever had any interaction with their employees otherwise, besides the checkout counter. Can’t say that’s a bad thing though. I don’t especially like having someone asking me every five minutes, «Can I help you with something?»
