I wouldn't say the staff is very knowledgeable about what they sell. I've been here a few times…read morewith my sibling to shop for hiking, snowboarding, and rock wall climbing gear/items, and during each visit, the staff wasn't sure whether they carried the items we were asking about. They usually direct us to a general area where the item might be located, but don't offer much more guidance than that. More often than not, we end up leaving empty-handed and ordering the items online, which we probably should have done in the first place...but we wanted to check them out in-store before buying. Strangely enough, it's also always extremely busy whenever I visit. That means long lines and chaotic parking situations... I've even seen a few near-accidents in the lot. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend, but here I am back again.

We really liked this Big 5 store in Lakewood. Parking is so easy in the large lot, it is part of a…read morestrip mall. I was on a mission, my grandson has lost his noise cancelling headphones now 3 times and I have had to replace them 3 times. He goes to a lot of concerts and he knows, your headphones are on your head or in the car, do not just leave them lying around. So, when he did it again, I told him his mom was going to have to replace them as his behavior shows a lack of responsibility for items that he is tasked with caring for. Anyway, I saw this Big 5 on the way to the taking him to the circus so I caved and pulled over. We went in and the cashier was very nice. She was not sure where the headphones were, so she asked a salesperson walking the store. He knew right away and showed me where they were and was able to tell me a little about the selection. I mean, they go from cheap to our you kidding me prices. I found the perfect pair made by Razor and went to the cashier. On my way there, I saw a lot of cool stuff had I been shopping. I told the cashier I was concerned with fit so had all intention of paying for them, opening them right there and trying them on my super sensitive grandson's head. She was fine with that and was going to just let me get another pair or give me my money back if we could not find a great fit. These were perfect. She was happy, we were happy. It all worked out. So, I do like this Big 5 very much. And as to the grandson if he loses these, he will be digging ditches to learn the value of money. Have a great week.

There was a hole in one of my shoes, and it got pretty bad that I needed to get a new pair. I get…read moreemails from Big 5 daily, but never really see anything of interest. That is, until the 4th of July when they emailed coupons for $5 off a purchase of $10+. Since shoes are obviously more than $10, I knew I had to go during the holiday to take advantage of that deal, which was good for that day only. I actually stopped by the traffic circle location in Long Beach first, but they didn't have the shoes that I wanted. Rather than choosing a different pair, I went to this location on the southwest corner of 183rd and Gridley. Though not technically a part of Los Cerritos Center, it's close enough that if you park your car on the east side of the mall, you can simply walk to Big 5, which doesn't have many parking spots directly in front. The store is pretty spacious and should cater to just about any athlete for any sport. Since it was summer, most of the sporting goods were swimming related, but I was here for the shoes, which were all the way in the back of the store. Not only did they have the shoe that I was looking for, but they had it in my size too! There was just one box left, and it was all mine! Well, except the lid was badly deformed. One of the employees walked to the back to offer assistance, and then I asked him if I could get a new shoebox for the shoes that I wanted. He mentioned that for the brand, they don't have that many shoeboxes, and they usually get deformed anyways. However, he did give me permission to switch the lids with another box, and so that's what I did. He also directed me to where the seats were so I could try on the shoes before purchasing. The shoes did fit, but I noticed inside each shoe, there was just a cardboard insert used to retain the shape of the shoe before purchase. There wasn't any crumpled paper inside that I've seen inside other shoes, but oh well. Not a dealbreaker for me. The employee did come by again to ask if the shoes fit, to which I answered affirmatively. Though he was kind of hard to understand, I do appreciate how he was there to offer help when needed. Checkout was a breeze. The cashier scanned the shoebox and then my coupon before completing my transaction and wishing me a good 4th of July. Good visit overall. If they didn't have my shoe size, who knows if they would have had one in the back? The two employees I mentioned in this review were the only two I saw working that afternoon, and if that's the norm here, I can't imagine how they would be able to handle a full house. Even though the Lakewood location is closer to me, I would definitely be willing to make the farther drive next time I need a new pair of shoes.
