My first time at this location of Big 5 Sporting Goods. I was going to exchange my merchandise. They have a lot of selections that I couldn't find in Rowland Heights or Alhambra. The store was also clean and neat inside. Even though I couldn't find my size for exchange, the lady at the cashier's was very helpful and friendly. She offered to help me look for other Big 5 locations that have the size and style that I was looking for. Great customer service. read more

When shopping for a gift, I like to browse in stores and see the products in person. Another advantage is you can take home your items, no need to wait for the goods to be shipped. So many are ordering online, which can be deceiving when your item arrives. I was looking for a birthday gift, which can be difficult when they have "everything." The store is organized with a good inventory. The shelves are fully stocked with sports equipment, camping gear, athletic clothing for all ages. The employee even brought out a huge ladder to reach some products that were displayed at the very top of the shelf. It is winter, so I bought "warming gloves" and some cozy slip-on booties that were lined with soft sheep skin fur. I think, I may go back and buy more of those gloves (sold in Mens, Women and Youth sizes). Shop in person, 7 days a week, and don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya! read more

Pretty cramped inside, but friendly staff and the prices weren't too crazy. We were looking to spend $20 on new soccer balls for the kids. Got a size 4 for $25 adidas training and then two $18 ones! They had a whole aisle with just soccer balls and an okay variety read more

Staff was extremely helpful and very friendly when we were in search for track shoes for my daughter. They do not have what she needed, but they were very accommodating and willing to make other recommendations. read more

We went to Big 5 Sporting Goods to buy a pair of sneakers and found such great prices so we bought three pairs. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the cashier. When we were in the shoe department we were helped immediately. Best shopping experience we have ever had shopping for shoes. Staff was friendly and sales floor was clean and fully stocked. read more

Awful customer service. Don't shop here... I've lived in San Dimas for over 30 years and have shopped here since I was in little league. I've shopped here for my kids as well. You would think 30 years of store loyalty would earn you a little respect. But not here... I made a purchase and wanted to return it but didn't have the receipt. No problem I thought, I'll just take store credit... but they wanted to give me the item back at 50% of the purchase price even though they still sell the item,and have them stocked, at full retail... Louise, the angry lady behind the counter, explained that if I had the original credit card I used, that she could run it to determine that I paid full price. I DID have the card via Apple Pay but she wouldn't run it because I didn't have my drivers license. But I DID have a photo of the front and back on my iPhone, however she wouldn't even look at it and refused to help me. So I walked out with my $24 item and they will never see my family again... over $12.50 in store credit... pathetic considering I've been shopping there for 3 DECADES lol. Crazy to think that in a time where you don't have to patronize local retail stores, but choose too to help keep people working, those same establishments treat you like you don't matter... Guess who doesn't treat customers like this... AMAZON. San Dimas Big 5 customer service is at an all time low. read more

Great Selection for Little League Baseball & More! I recently visited Big 5 in San Dimas, and I was really impressed with both their selection and customer service! As a 1st time parent of a Little Leaguer in Glendora, I wasn't sure if we had any affordable options for gear in the area. I asked some fellow parents and coaches and they all said the Big 5 in San Dimas so here we are! To be honest the #1 thing that drew me in was the fact that they provide a special coupon for local Little League teams so you can get 20% off regularly priced items and 10% off sale items! This is so cool for families in the community who want to save on gear. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially Robert, the manager. He took the time to help prepare my son with all the necessary gear for his first day of baseball tryouts, ensuring we had everything from a new glove to the perfect bat. His attention to detail and friendly attitude made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. The store is well-organized, making it easy to find what you need, and there are always great sales going on. Whether you're looking for high-quality baseball gear or other sporting goods, I highly recommend checking them out. I'll definitely be back for all my future sporting needs! read more

Sometimes you can find good deals on hiking shoes and other outdoor equipment here. Last month, I was able to snag a pair of Columbia shoes--that are selling for $70 on Amazon--for $30 here. This Big 5, the T.J. Maxx, and the Royal Panda Chinese restaurant are the last remaining strongholds of the original stores that have existed since the San Dimas Plaza that they're in was built in about 1988. Every other store has since been replaced. All of us old people remember when we came to this plaza for either Blockbuster, Ralphs (which has since been split into the now Smart and Final and Harbor Freight), or Rite Aid. This Big 5 used to be where I'd buy my basketballs, baseball, karate, or swim stuff as a kid. In fact, this is where everyone I knew in the local area used to buy most of their sports gear (before Amazon took over). My dad's house is about two blocks from here and he still comes here, for fishing gear mostly. read more

Been there twice. The first time I was there with my entire family of 6. Everything we needed for our snow day trip was in store: kids snow boots, sled, etc. The space was well organized so we were able to find what we needed quickly and with ease. The customer service was very good. They were helpful in answering all of our questions and they even seemed happy to help. The second time I went the cashier was helpful giving me advice for parking up in the National Forest area and let me know where else I'm able to buy the passes in case we need them. Her advice was priceless as she did not have to let me know since they offer what we needed right there in store. What a gem of a lady. Will definitely continue to shop there for all of my families sporting good and snow day needs. read more

I always see this place but had never stopped in before. I was stopping in to find something for a family member. I was provided with great customer service, and they were very helpful. I definitely will come back, I wasn't expecting to find items that I would like, honestly several items did catch my eye. I will be back! read more

My husband and I visited this location. He was searching for comfortable work shoes. The store manager who assisted him was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. The store was cleaned and well-lit. Customer service was great. read more

thank you to Noel for helping me with a recent purchase. They were out of stock in their location but he phoned a head to the next location to confirm they had what I needed. He even had them check the condition of the item before I drove all the way over there to ensure that there was no damage. Super helpful super nice super kind super appreciate the help thank you Noel read more

This place has knives, ammo and guns in stock. Got a great little pocket knife for myself, new workout gloves and pull up bar. The staff is very helpful when choosing a knife they helped me out a lot. It's close by the freeway and other big stores too. Lots of shoes and apparel for young and adults. read more

Helpful employees, great service and they have what you need, employees are super welcome to clients

This store lacks customer service! Period .... I hope the management sees this review considering they lost a great customer today! My husband went to the store to purchase amo the sales person there sitting chatting with another sales people didn't even acknowledge him at all.... When he requested to buy 1000 amo the guy responded "oh no you have to come back, I'm busy now" WHAT?? Who does that? We are truly disappointed with this service and will never step a foot in this store again! Your loss read more

Big 5 is where I get ammo especially in these hard time. Call ahead to to see if they'll receive ammo inventory on Mondays. Have to line up early Monday mornings to receive ammo rations but prices are not marked up. Larry the store manager is very polite and professional. read more

They have a good amount of equipment for a smaller store. Red haired girl on staff not so nice. I ran into a random box as I turned a corner that was just on the ground and I notified the sales associate and she just looked at me like "Ok...?" Not sure why they have product lying in the middle of aisles like that and I also don't appreciate the way she didn't care about my concerns. It was still there when I left. read more

Came with my dad to buy him some shoes , Brian helped us and he was very nice and friendly

Not a bad place to get inexpensive sport attire for your family. The main reason I come here is due to the $10 coupon that arrives to my home periodically. The selection is limited but the prices are affordable. The shoes are not that attractive and if you do find the one you want they are usually sold out. I feel this place is good alternative to Walmart and great for athletic equipment for your kids. Customer service was not bad as everyone was friendly. Lastly there was ample parking so shopping isn't as hectic like other plazas or shopping centers. read more

Glad they are still around as most of the "sporting goods" stores seem to have been bought up (I'm looking at you Dick's). good shoe selection and our last purchase was night crawlers.....where else are you gonna go read more

Came here to shop for my daughter's birthday she wanted a boogie board and they had many to choose from and Jessica the cashier was very helpful very patient and very friendly she even allowed me to get the discount on retail.com and get 10% off of my sale item. I gave him my email address to get more sales and coupons and I would definitely shop here again. read more

Big 5 Sporting Goods - Inside the store sales - Sporting Goods Near Me - San Dimas, California

I happen to LOVE Big 5 for man- gifts, sports items, and their epic end- of-season sales. Yeah, sure, some of the stuff is off-brand and not as prestigious I guess as Dick's, but for smaller kiddoes and disposible items you only use a couple times a year (ie. snow pants) you just can not beat it. The employees are usually younger kids, always courteous and helpful. Also when you have to return something they are good, too, like the time I had to return a tabletop ping-pong net that was a piece o' caca- they took it back no problemo. read more

My last visit was very unpleasant. As soon as I walked in, there was this horrible smell. The whole store is stuffed with supplies. Overstuffed. Very narrow aisles. I found what I was looking for, but not the size. Kept looking around for an employee, but no one was around to ask questions. I think they are a bit understaffed. read more

Visited your San Dimas location today 9/27/20 at 4:40 pm we were not greeted with a hello! Never asked if we needed help... Checked out and our purchase was 49 dollars plus change asked about coupons and was ignored and then we asked again and Fiona said she didn't know and if we find one it has to have a bar code, she never looked up at us... Not very good customer service! We couldn't find a coupon so we paid and left and didn't get a thank you, just have a good day! Customer service training needs to happen... read more

5 stars for big 5! I always shop at this location and felt compelled to leave a review after seeing some bad reviews. First, cashiers don't normally leave their post to walk costumers to an item and this goes for any store... There are always sales people on the floor for this. The employees at big 5 always go above and beyond. At this location specifically, the management is very kind and attentive. I buy cleats, shin guards ,coaching supplies and shoes here. The sales people know a lot about sports and give good suggestions. They must hire athletes or something. read more

I know big five is a chain store that being said come see Randy store manager for some personalized service. Great guy!

I get I live in a shit state when it comes to the 2A. I have never needed my passport to purchase ammo.WTF. have my firearm card and legal ID read more

Randy really took the time to get me situated with my new rifle. I was really happy with the service. The other staff was just as helpful a few weeks ago when I went in for the first time. I remember one of them was Dream. I'd called around, originally, to many stores with no luck, being placed on hold forever, etc., but my experience here was awesome. read more

UNPROFESSIONAL LAMES! Waited in line to buy some goggles, NBD. When I reach the cashier, she turns away and starts to engage in a conversation with the Manager about whether or not she could have a day off for her relatives' baptism. AWESOME. After standing there with my goggles in my hand for a minute, I bust out a nice and loud "AHEM," and tell her "Girl, I don't have time to hear about your baptism problems!" After she realizes she's at work, to do...WORK....The girl sort of stammers an apology, finally rings me up, and goes back to her conversation. Don't get me wrong, I get it. Peeps in retail don't always offer the best service, as these sort of shenanigans happen from time to time (my dad has the best McDonald's cashier on cellphone story, but I digress..). BUT....I do expect the manager on duty to redirect her employee when she wasn't properly serving a customer. Instead these two fools decided to have a convo at the register while people were in line. Looks like Sport Chalet just gained a customer! read more

I have a story about shopping at big five and San Dimas I want in there and I had bought some bullets I'm a hunter and a I do some indoor shooting at any rate on the nice girl at the counter was helping me out just fine the manager came over was eyeing me looking at me then the assistant manager came over she was also they were both just there to me why the girl was ringing me up I was asking about different molds and whatnot then after they ring me up when I had my stuff I was walking out am the manager said to the assistant understood to the manager said I hope doesn't kill anybody I thought How rude for someone to say that judging somebody by looks or whatever they're judging me just to say something like that absolutely rude of that manager assistant manager read more

Not a big fan of this particular store. Every time I am there, there seems to be an issue at the counter as I always see an unhappy customer waiting to speak with a GM on hand. As far as selection goes, the you won't find anything too crazy. In my opinion, it's great for outdoors/hiking. Everything else, I would opt to go elsewhere. You will find the occasional great deal, if you're lucky it is still in stock. I'm waiting for a good deal on a Camelbak pack pack for hiking.. Shh.. Don't tell anyone! read more

Many thanks to the service we received on Wednesday this past week...sorry it took a while to let you know. We were on the hunt for a hinged knee brace and yelped locations near our dr. Several options appeared and I called Big 5. I was greeted with a welcoming voice, Ashley. She kindly informed me they have what we needed. In fact a couple of options. So when we arrived I was greeted by her and directed to the braces. There was a gentleman in that area who offered assistance and some insights to the braces - thank goodness as I was lost on selections. My husband on crutches was offered a seat up front. Ashley's amazing kindness and service didn't go unnoticed...THANK YOU!!! read more

Randy was very helpful. We bought some things for a trip to the mountains but weren't able to make the trip at the last minute. I couldn't find the receipts for the things we purchased but Randy was able to help. I'll definitely come back here. read more

Terrible customer service. Manager was not helpful at all with a return. I did not have a receipt but I did have the bank statement that showed I bought something from the same store I was returning it too which is the Big 5 in San Dimas. The manager or cashier did not even offer store credit until I asked. The cashier did not seem to happy to help. It seemed as though they did not believe I had bought the item. read more

I have always had excellent customer service here by all employees. They always honor my Veteran discount all them seem to hustle working hard. Only down fall is the lines due to Covid not their fault. read more

I went to this store looking for running shoes, I was there for about 25 minutes and not one single time any of the employee came to ask if I needed any help. I guess they don't want to sell their goods. No problem for me I'll just take my business elsewhere!! P. S. On my personal experience I rather go to Nike outlet in Ontario Mills, they do know what customer service is all about!! read more

Since the quarantine and shut downs this place has been my go too for ammo. It can be low at times but it's been good enough. The customer service is excellent. read more

Service is pretty sucky.. Have been coming to this location for over 10 years and it has never changed- staff rarely, if ever, greets or acknowledges the customer, and they always seem reluctant to help you. Also, sale prices are not always as great as they claim to be/advertise them. read more

Based off the response I received after filing this complaint to the Big 5 customer care center, I am am going to upgrade this rating to 3 stars. I received an email from a representative within a couple days of filing this complaint. This is some of what it said "Please accept our sincere apology for this unfortunate incident. It has always been our number one priority at Big 5 Sporting Goods to provide the best possible service to all of our customers. Obviously, we fell short of our goal in this instance. Only when a customer takes the time to contact us, as you did, do we have the opportunity to address issues such as these. Your experience will be reviewed with the store's management staff and District Supervisor, and as a result the level of service provided will improve to meet our high standards." In addition I received a phone call from a Big 5 rep today apologizing. He also let me know that they investigated what happened and that the manager is no longer working at Big 5. He asked for me to give them another shot. It is not often I see a follow up like this and because of the way it was handled I will be going back to give Big 5 some more of my business. read more

The store was messy. The customer service was absolutely horrible and unprofessional. What other reason do you need to not shop there? Don't bother. read more
