Parking area is clean and spacey. Walking into the store, we weren't greeted. Two girls at the register helping one customer. We walked back to the shoe area and needed a size. My husband had to call multiple times for one of the girls up at the register to come and help us with shoe sizes. Both girls on their phones, up front. Finally, one of the girls notice and starts to walk back towards us. Then a guy comes walking out of who knows where, approaching the girl and telling her she needed to stay at the back end and watch the area. Perhaps the store manager? He handled the situation very professionally and the girl stayed at the back end.
I mean come on, if you have customers in your store you should NOT be on your phone unless you're on your own time, like on lunch. What a crazy generation we live in now.
We finally got assisted, tried on sizes and we were ready to check out. At the register, another customer walks in and THAT person is greeted with a "welcome in". Uumm, yeah, I wasn't expecting that because we weren't greeted when both girls were taking care of a previous customer. Strange.
They had sales going on and while walking around looking at the sales, they weren't too bad. I haven't shopped at a BIG 5 in over 9 years. So I'm not too sure what their prices would be like. They seemed pretty cheap compared to DICKS sporting goods and Scheels.
The store is clean and organized and well maintained. They have an average amount of inventory, not a whole bunch. We needed navy blue leggings. All we saw were black, dark grey and multi-colored ones. Not a whole lot of color options to choose from. The sizes range from S-XXL and you'll be able to find the sizes needed because they're stocked up with each size between that range.
Overall store quality is nice. Customer service, could be MUCH better. For me, the service is always my first impression as soon as I step into the doors. There's no time to be an unhappy or distracted retail worker. You're on the clock. It doesn't take a lot of energy to throw on a smile and greet everyone walking through the doors. read more
