Compared to other sporting goods stores (such as Cabellas and Bass Pro Shop) Big 5 is stuck in the 1970s. The store looks dated and the selection is pretty limited. Once and while they run a decent ad in the Sunday paper, but they no longer carry the larger sized shoes for my husband (size 14 wide) and most prices are the same or higher than other more modern sporting goods stores.
Parking is easy and close to the door. Service is uneven (sometimes great, sometimes with the poor attitude mentioned by other reviewers).
Our family has shopped here many times over the years and it is just sad to see that they just will not do the upgrades needed to compete with the modern sporting goods stores.
