Back in the day, if I was looking for a decent sporting goods store, I always ventured to "Big 5",…read more"The Sports Authority", and even "Walmart". Jump forward to the present day and "DICK'S Sporting Goods" takes the crown for the biggest and most complete selection of anything sports-related. This is a nationwide company that has been in operation since 1948 and since then (as of 2026), they have over 700 stores that are currently operating. The location I am focusing on is at the Stanford Crossing shopping center in Roseville, CA. Located directly off of Stanford Ranch Rd and tucked in between Fairway Dr and Five Star Blvd, this location has been around since mid-2017. What makes this idea is the close proximity to other major retailers as well as the very large parking lot. During the dozen or so times that I have been inside here, I have never had an issue finding a parking spot, even during peak holiday season and busy weekend days. Upon entering, you will notice that the store layout is massive. Soon, you will see how this place has just about everything you might need when it comes to sporting goods. The cash registers/customer service area and the lines for checkout are to the immediate right. Navigating around isn't too difficult as many of the aisles give you the feeling as if you are not bumping into anyone. I also wanted to add that there are two restrooms towards the very rear left part of the store. On any given day, there are dozens upon dozens of employees/staff everywhere; usually they are dressed in a green shirt with trousers and athletic shoes. To put things into perspective, they carry a huge assortment of gear pertaining to all types of sports; baseball, football, basketball, golf, hockey, lacrosse, pickleball, tennis, soccer, softball, volleyball, and much more. You will also find a nice variety of outdoor and camping travel essentials that include tents, sleeping bags, outerwear, and ski equipment. Additionally, their fitness/cardio selection is vast with a ton of treadmills, ellipticals, and everything to get your home gym going. I've purchased a mountain bike here that has been great so far. And let me tell you about their clothing line & shoes; here you will find a wide inventory of men's/women's/kids clothes apparel, sports jerseys, and all types of shoes. During my most recent visit, I needed a comfortable, long-lasting pair of reliable walking shoes. After narrowing down my selection, I finally settled with the Brooks "Glycerin 22" series that provided the support and comfort I was looking for. Also keep in mind for the deep discounts this place offers. These shoes were selling for $164.99 but there was an online Dick's Sporting Goods coupon that were selling these for $114.99. Even better, with every purchase over $100.00, I received a $20.00 of coupon which brought my total to $94.99 + tax. Not bad for a pair of quality walking shoes. All in all, "Dick's Sporting Goods" is a very good above average retailer with an absolutely large variety of options. The only negative thing I would say is that their customer service isn't top notch as the employees that worked in the shoe area weren't the most knowledgeable in answering my questions. Not a big deal since I heavily researched these shoes prior to coming here. I think it all depends on which employee works where. For instance, my bike purchase (back in 2020) was amazing but this experience was just average. Aside from minor things like that, I am still going to give the Roseville Dick's Sporting Goods a respectable four star rating.

My wife and I tried to take advantage of a…read morepromotion, by ordering a new NordicTrak 2450 online through a third party app and Dick's Sporting Goods. After reading some fine print, we realized we weren't able to complete the process Online, so we ventured out to Dick's to buy ourselves a treadmill. When we got to the store, Joey found us looking over the floor model and got us a code so we could try it out. After both my wife and I tinkered with it, running and walking, we told Joey we wanted one. And we also wanted it delivered and setup in our home (part of the promotion). There was a little confusion regarding the inventory, but after some networking around the store along with the store's manager, James, it was determined that the model we wanted was not readily available in store. So Joey got on the phone with the Folsom store and got us squared away with the promotion we wanted along with delivery and setup. Yes we had to travel over to the Folsom store, but Joey and James made the arrangements for us very easy--and James gave us a $25 Gift Card for the waiting and travel we had to go through to get our machine. We will be returning. Big thanks to Joey and James for the exemplary service! Now... Time to get some miles in...

The options of boats and everything that they have out is many many I could get lost in the store It could overstimulate you a little bit because there's just so much however, the aisles are so big and everything that it kind of makes up for it Everything is immaculate clean it's the first time I use the restroom. The restroom is huge. The staff is always very nice. They greet you when you come in they greet you when you leave. The only problem I have is that I don't have a $10,000 credit card for this place. Or maybe that's a good thing They have so many lures to choose from I could get lost looking at them, but love that for me for fishing. I love that they have a variety of fishing poles and they also have cookware there. If you did not know that if you need to go camping this is a great place to go value wise. I would say great prices great material clothes wise. I have sweatshirts that I've had for over 3+ years and they've never got ruined in the washer and dryer and I got these ones on sale for like five to $10. I've been waiting for that sale again. I think I miss it. However, I must say hands-down they have the best quality clothes. They have a lot of options of stuff. If you know somebody that's having a baby. You're going to a baby shower you could come here and find some cool stuff for them and get out and get to see stuff you want to see as well.

We walked around the store for a quick browse. Most of the other employees were busy helping other customers at that moment. Can't really speak on the inventory or the prices, compared to Big 5 or Walmart, but at least we know what to expect from Turner's Outdoorsman.

My husband and I have no idea what we were looking into but the staff is very helpful. I believe it was Bill who helped us make a selection. I didn't know what the right fit would be for my vehicle.

We went to go pick up my cargo roof box and rails. We wanted to have them install it for us initially but the services were not available due to the waitlist. I forgot the man's name who helped us but he quickly taught us how to put everything on our vehicle since it couldn't fit inside the car to take home.

Nothing says "customer service" quite like being publicly scolded by a manager for using the return…read morepolicy REI advertises. Daniel at REI Roseville made a point of calling out my return history in front of other customers, claiming my shoes had "over 500 miles" on them based on nothing more than his own guess, and threatening to leave notes on my account. I've been a member of REI since 1992. He also referred to my returns as "appeasements," which tells you everything you need to know about his attitude toward customers. REI advertises a one-year satisfaction guarantee. What I got instead was a public lecture, a completely unnecessary attempt to embarrass me, and a manager acting like he was there to scold me rather than help. He told me, in front of other customers, that this was "not my first return recently," announced that my return rate was 50%, pointed out that I had bought the same shoe in another color, and said he would leave notes on my account. What he conveniently left out is that I often buy multiple sizes or colors and return what does not work - all brand new - which is completely normal. Lastly, this was only the second used item I've ever returned - since 1992. REI Roseville turned a longtime customer into someone who now plans to avoid big purchases, stop using them for ski mounts, and possibly cancel a membership. Embarrassing behavior from a manager, and an even worse look for the store.

It's a great spot for quick, last-minute needs. One downside is the shoe section. Especially during sports season, it feels like they're always out of the sizes we need. Cleats are the hardest to find, which is a bummer because their prices are usually better than other stores. Customer service could be better too. Every time we go in, the employees are hanging out at the front chatting and don't really offer help.
