Retail being what it is this days (volatile) you would think a business would strive to have its employees be attentive to its customers or potential customers. Standing in back by the shoes pleasantly waiting to receive assistance but none ever came. It wasn't until I decided it was time to move on as I walked out the door did I even receive an inquiry if I needed assistance. Mind you there were multiple employees just hanging out at the front desk. I do hold out hope because I enjoy spending my well earned money at a local business but quality customer service is harder and harder to come by. read more

Less and less friendly ...got rid of firearms and less and less outdoor gear. Glorified Nike clothes store now with some outdoor stuff . Real shame . read more

Me and a buddy came to this store to do a Private party transfer(ppt). Well after waiting 30 minutes, Jena the manager told us that she is leaving in the next minute. We kindly informed her that we have been waiting for over 30 minutes and if she could help us out. She gave us a bunch of excuses and informed us that she is pregnant and tired and that she is going home. To be honest the amount of time it took her to give us all those excuses, she could have done the ppt. Had to take my business 30 miles south. Why offer the service if your not provide it? read more

Had what I wanted in stock but over priced compared to other stores. Asked if they price matched they said no. Good if you are in a bind otherwise go somewhere else. read more

Very unfriendly, unhelpful staff. My husband and I walked in and there were three employees sitting behind the register. Not a single one of them even bothered to greet us or even look up. We wandered around until we found what we needed, since nobody there offered to help, and were greeted with silence at the register as well. The guy who rang us up never even made eye contact with us, just kept talking to his coworker. Rude ass people read more

Jasmin needs a promotion she knows how to do everything there I asked the Hispanic guy behind the gun counter to purchase a pig tag he said one moment and he walked away and never returned. Poor customer service has become the standard these days and this guy was no different, but Jasmin handled the situation perfectly. read more

7:30pm. The store is clearly open. Yet I was told I cannot buy ammo due to that department being closed. Between not allowing me to purchase ammunition and the ammunition being overpriced why even carry it here??? read more

Overall stores a mess. the manager Celina treats her employees unfair and is very snotty. I had a bad experience because of her attitude. You'd figure as a "manager" that the store wasn't able to work "without her" she'd be doing better , organized, & better with customers and her employees there's no excuse to treats your fellow people that way ! do not recommend coming here unless you're looking for a bad experience ! read more

Awesome service and knowledgeable manager. Josh was EXTREMELY helpful and patient. Got us the right shoes at the right price...definitely worth coming to versus all the big box stores who either don't care or don't know the science behind shoes. read more

Rude staff. We stopped by with our puppies and the manager and another associate were talking shit about my husband and I & our pups. There are no signs posted saying dogs are not allowed and they all saw us walk in with them and didn't say anything but we heard them talking about us over on the next aisle. Our puppies were not even being loud or barking at all. If it was such a big issue they could have told us the moment we walked in. Needless to say we won't shop or recommend an unwelcoming store like this to anyone. read more

Good experiences with this Big 5 very knowledgable when it come to hunting license info. They have always had everything from licenses, deer and pig tags to duck stamps in stock. Many times stores that sell hunting and fishing licenses are out of stock with one thing or the other causing you to go to multiple stores to obtain them. Let's face it Big 5 or any other store doesn't sell licenses because it's such a money maker, they make a $1.45 on each one. Big 5 does it because they are in the Customer Service business and I'm sure it does get traffic into the store. The other day I had two coupons for $5 off one from the news paper and one from email. I purchased two items and asked if I could use both of them at once. The checker said I can't however offered a solution. She offered to ring them up separately so I could enjoy my discount. Easy just had to swipe my debit card two times. In my mind that is Customer Service, I'll be back. read more

Went there after the Turlock gun show, ended up buying a couple shotguns because the manager actually knew quite a bit more than some of the guys at the show and he also honored the sale price from the previous ad. I've bought all my knives, baseball, soccer and weights from there since. read more

Today I went in to buy a ping pong table about 10minutes before closing! The staff was very helpful and didn't even rush me to leave the store for closing! At time of purchase they noticed I didn't have a Truck to transport the big box so they volunteer to hold it for me until I came back with a truck! Lucky I was able to find a truck in the parking lot and when I called big 5, they were nice enough to to open the store and allow me to make my purchase after hours! Then they were kind enough to transfer the box into our truck and reminded us to call them with any concerns. We are extremely satisfied San thankful for the staff at big 5!! Thanks guys again! read more
