Big 5 Sporting Goods

The only things I like about this store are the items I but frequently and the female workers. The guy who helped me was a jerk with his rudeness.

Horrible customer service «Kevin» in shoes was extremely rude and unprofessional over the phone … Lost my dollar real quick.

What’s with the loud beeping since 630 on Saturday? People live here you know. Not a very good neighbor.

The staff was nice and knowledgeable. but the place looks dirty because it is so over packed with merchandise. Sale prices are real good. Regular prices are little high. Could not decide between giving me 3 or 4. I gave them the floor because the staff is very nice and helpful.

Saw a special on sandals on Monday and just today (Saturday) had the chance to see if this place had any or if they were still on sale.
Walked in and walked a bit until I realized I couldn’t find them on display or near the rest of the sandal options.
At first a guy said there were no sales on sandals. After I told them there was actually one advertised on their Sunday Paper he then actually walked over to a advertisement paper display, and then he in fact said there was one, he then began to help me locate a pair.
Eventually a woman which seem to know the sales and store came with a pair. I asked if there were another pair and she said those were the last size 12, since they are sandals I asked if she had a 11 or 11.5 but she said nope. That’s all we had.
So once at checkout the female that got me the pair mentioned to the cashier to give me the pair of sandals for 9.99 but Fanny the cashier scanned it and then said well that’s last years price, I said actually it was Sundays price but she said oh okay. The cashier was actually standing in the group when we talked about it at first.
Anyway, got some comfortable sandals for a good price and was out the door.
Located in a nice shopping area and parking is half a block away with two hour and under validation. If you park longer it comes out of your pocket.
Thanks lady for assisting me when your other two coworkers didn’t know about the sale or were stuck in 2014 prices in March… Just Saying.

This is a very small big five sporting goods but they have a Tone of stuff inside of the store from fishing gear to baseball gear to football and tennis racket, my son was looking for a coaching basketball board and we looked everywhere and we could not find it, but they had it. The customer service was great and the prices are extremely reasonable. I would definitely go back to this big five sporting good store again.

This place is great. Every year after Black Friday they have a shoe clearance What I do is buy three pair for the year of which I usually wear one completely out and give the other two pair to good will
This year I saved about 75 bucks. The store clerk recognized my shoes from last years stock. They did not carry that brand anymore. Too bad as I liked the pair

Very limited, i was looking for some lifting gloves with wrist wrap but couldn’t find any for women. But I found the pepper spray I needed yesterday.
*I’ll give 1 STAR for COSTUMER SERVICE: I went yesterday at 7 pm with my friend and we asked for the pepper spray, she said she had them in there. she showed me 4 different types. I was deciding and talking to my friend about them when she said «All of them do the same, if you don’t know!» — I don’t know what kind of training this girl had but that was rude and not professional/​helpful at all. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to make it personal, but then she was trying to be in our conversation, really nosy, I couldn’t help it and had to tell her to mind her own business and I left. Needless to say, I prefer to go all the way to the next Big5.

I come here very rarely. They had a pair of gloves I found online. I called yesterday, they told me they had them in stock and in both sizes I was considering. I stopped by the next day, didn’t bother to have them hold it. I test fitted and left.
The staff was great, helpful. I was the only shopper when I entered, store was clean, staff was maintaining/​organizing during my visit.
If they have certain deals, or lower than other store prices, I’ll be back.

I got a great deal on Fila Skeletoes today at Big 5. Paid about $ 15 less than on the Fila site… The service was excellent. The only thing that bugged was that the employees didn’t wear a uniform or nametag, so I had a tough time figuring out who was an employee vs. shopper.

I bought this weighted gloves set yesterday and I am getting better boxing and cardio speed! The store was ok, but they have a wide variety of bargains inside. This store is a small version of Big Five; however, they have plenty of equipment and clothing at bargain prices. I plan to have an in-​studio gym of my own to fit my schedule and workout needs! You should try this store if you need some fitness things to get the new year started!
Furthermore, the customer service could use a tune by the manager, what an asshole! The cashier was just there, but when you have such retarded servicing, it could ruin the experience, but Big Five has too much experience through the years for me to turn my back on them!

Again, never thought I’d be writing a review for a sporting good store of any kind, but here we are.
I went in looking for a backpack to take hiking. I didn’t find anything quite in my price range, but it looked like they had a really good selection, and they all seemed to be good quality.
Staff was friendly and attentive, but I really didn’t need much help. It was nice to know they were available should I have a question though.
Looking around the store, I noticed a ton of SALE signs. Too bad I’m not into golf or badminton hahaha
Not sure about how the pricing works with sporting goods, I just know they didn’t have what I needed for the price I’m willing to pay. But if that’s really how much things cost, I dunno. maybe I’ll just keep going hiking sans backpack cuz shiz sure seems pricey…

I love Big 5.
You go here when you need something sports-​related but you aren’t willing to pay an arm and a leg for it. Sure, it might not come in the coolest color or the latest style but it will probably do what you need it to do.
When I tell people how much I paid for my gear, they are always shocked by how low the prices were.

They have some great sales sometimes. I’ve bought binoculars for 80% off, and some knives dirt cheap. However, the service really sucks. The clerks will either completely ignore you, or act like you are asking for a kidney when you ask for help.

A friend and I visited the Big 5 after being completely disappointed and frustrated with the mess that is Ross Dress For Less. This place wreaks of balls… no really it smells like basketballs in here. They have a decent shoe section and I ended up getting some gym shoes in MY SIZE (god forbid) for like $ 25. It was quick and easy.
And the fact that the girl at the check out counter totally didn’t get my joke, it was still pretty funny.

«I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates…»
Aaah what a beautiful Friday. Oohh, I was excited to go and take a brisk– then relaxing walk through the market place for my fresh fruits and veggies for the week. My usual take is to do a brisk walk through, make a quick assessment as to where things are, then saunter back through slowly so I can soak up the ambiance of all kinds of people, and smells and colors. ‘Just relax and choose my food and giftware. On my second round on the way out, I decided to see if Big Five had any quads. I was due for a new pair.
I put my purchases in the ride and walked over to Big Five. (Sorry to the lady who thought I was moving my car so she could get my spot out front. Oooops!) I asked the young salesman if they had OG quads and he said no. Then he said, «Well, let’s take a look.»
They had a whole slew of them. How could he have missed them? I knew they had them because I saw them in that big ass sales paper that we get in the newspaper every week. Everything from enough gun power to poach an elephant to enough sailing gear to launch a nautical raid on a small country. The salesman left me to my own devices, he was young and I was not fly enough for any personal attention. (Good, get the fuck away from me, I don’t want you to see my Rudolph the Reindeer socks in October) I tried on a few pair and settled with a men’s pair, with room enough for thick socks.
I looked for the dude and spotted him wandering around listlessly. I didn’t want to disturb his state of boredom so I found the sock section then eased on over to the checkout, paid for my skates socks and some fried pork skins and left.
You heard me, the «sports store» has fried pork skins. An extra star just for that bit of ironic coolness!

*Punch! Punch! Kick! Kick! *
I needed boxing gloves. My personal trainer has been kicking my butt and even though I love all the boxing moves I’m tired of my hands stinking after I take off the gloves that he lets me use.
I came to Big 5 on a lunch break in search of boxing gloves. It’s a small store stocked full with all sorts of equipment and apparel. I got sidetracked looking at the women’s sportswear before I found my way to the back of the store where the boxing equipment was.
They carry Addidas, Reebok and Nike for women. Lots of it on sale. Nice!
The good thing about coming to this Big 5 is that it’s pretty quiet and it’s easy get service right away since the aisles are kind of empty. I browsed the selection of boxing gloves. I didn’t realize there were so many options.
Then I saw these adorable pink boxing gloves by Everlast that were on sale. They were the perfect compromise between my girly-​foo-​foo side and my angry-​aggressive-​punching-​woman side. (A portion of the proceits go to breast cancer research)
I can’t wait to go a few rounds with my new gloves on. *Kapow!*
