Big 5 Sporting Goods is a full-line, traditional sporting goods store offering a broad selection of products. This includes athletic shoes, apparel, and accessories, as well as outdoor and athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, and summer and winter recreation. The store supports a somewhat diverse array of sports, providing a decent chance of having a desired item, including some firearms, permits, blades, and axes for hunting and camping. Customer experiences with the store vary. Some customers highlight the convenience, noting the locations provide quick and easy access and are often the nearest chain sporting goods store, creating a logistics and convenience factor. Others appreciate the One Day Deals for purchasing great items at reduced prices, useful for gifts like Christmas presents. The staff receives mixed reviews; they are described by some as always very helpful, engaged, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the inventory. However, other experiences report a lack of assistance, with customers leaving without service and purchasing items elsewhere. Overall, the store is periodically shopped at for its variety and basic needs, but it is often rated around 3 out of 5 stars. It is seen as having pretty average equipment. For customers seeking large variety, more options, or basic questions answered, larger chain stores may offer greater service. Conversely, for higher quality, specialized products, and deeply knowledgeable, community-oriented service, smaller local sporting goods stores are often preferred.
Great! I got a Speedo swimsuit for $21. Good selection, helpful and courteous staff.

The service was just okay. You would get help if you looked for it. Lots of items without pricing on them. There were sales promised online that were not there in the store.

I really take advantage of the One Day Deals. I buy great items at reduced prices. Great for Christmas presents. Always very helpful staff.
