Big 5 Sporting Goods

I have been visiting this place for the last 10 years. They sell stuff from sleeping bags to exercise equipment. You could get very good deals during the frequent sales they put up. The quality of things you buy here are usually very good. The shoe section is usually a mess, but the folks who work here are very friendly and courteous. Recommended.

This Big 5 location used to have more stuff a few years ago. Now, everything they have on sale is old and some of the shoes are actually torn and missing laces etc. I did buy some exercise equipment on sale from them a few months ago.

Big 5 Sporting Goods is a fairly small store. It is quite a ways away from my home. I was driving past it, and something caught my eye. They had a gigantic sale of shoes and sports equipment. This was not organized but the employees helped me find what I needed to find and quick. They do not have a really big selection, but it's decent and is enough if you need some regular sporting equipment.

Big 5 is smaller than Sportmart and not surprisingly it has a limited selection of sporting items. The treadmills on display look old and decrepit, and there are only 2-3 models you can choose from. They often have sales but the prices are still higher than average. Big 5 is readily seen as you drive along El Camino, and has a large parking lot. I wouldn't really recommend buying anything at Big 5 because it's overpriced. However, I must say that their customer service is very good.
