Haven't been to Bass Pro Shops in decades, and the only other one I've been to was the one in…read moreManteca. I honestly forgot how nice this place is. The interior and overall atmosphere are really well done and there's a lot to look at. I came in to pick up a handgun, and the process was pretty thorough. You can set up an appointment online or use the kiosk when you get there. If you're picking up or purchasing a firearm, I'd definitely set aside about an hour to an hour and a half because it can take some time. The gun counter line closes at 8 PM on weekdays, so keep that in mind. The employees I dealt with were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. Overall, a really good experience.

Ever since I bought and maintained a CA fishing license a few years ago, I go to BPS to for most…read more of my fishing needs. With rows and rows of tackle, I am able to find most lake specific lures, weights, bait, hooks, etc. Sometimes I have to go to the store at the lake itself and get even more specific items, but BPS usually has what I need. Whenever I enter the store, the personnel always ask if I need help or direct me to the area where more specific help can be found. Moreover, the store is dog friendly and has dog treats at the ready. Occasionally, BPS will host a Monday club night whereby if you are a BPS club member, you can stand in line to get a light meal and enter a raffle to win items, but I recommend you go early and stand in line or else there will be no more food left.

I've been here a few times and each time has been a super experience. On my most recent trip, I was…read morein search of baseball gear for the upcoming little league season. I had previously gone down the street to Dick's, and pretty much left after 10 minutes because I needed help and there was no body around. At Big 5 I was immediately greeted, and a salesperson helped me find the right gear. When I went to check out, the manager printed some coupons for me to use and pass out to my little league. As far as pricing goes, Big 5 had a greater range of price points for baseball gear. I also found this to be true for soccer gear as well.

Good service and they offer a wide selection of firearms. Prices are higher than big brands like…read moreBass Pro but to me it's worth it. Whole paperwork process only took under 30 minutes which was impressive since other places they go to the back with your paperwork and disappear for 20 minutes.

A few years ago, my partner recommended this place when he bought both shoes and insoles. He gave…read moreme money to buy shoes and insoles myself, so I gave them a try. At first, the gait analysis and fitting felt gimmicky, but since I was playing with his money, I went through with it. I discovered, not surprisingly, that I needed a stability shoe. The staff brought out several styles in more than one size. I'm a little self-conscious about the size of my feet relative to my height, so whenever possible, I don't take their advice to go up a half size. (Hint: it's not usually possible.) I was surprised by how willing the staff was to bring out multiple shoes until I found the right pair for me. Even though they almost always have several customers and sometimes have a line, the staff members always come back to check in, but not intrusively like restaurant wait staff who ask "How is everything?" after you've just taken a bite. The insoles may seem like a gimmick at first, and they will set you back an additional $120. Since they're going to make them anyway, you should put them in your selected shoes. Like me, you will be sold! They are worth it. They will make your feet feel even better in your shoes! Finally, there's the VIP program, which gives you 10% off all purchases as well as between 5 and 15% cash back, depending on your level of membership. Note the recommended number of shoes purchased when selecting a membership level to find the level that's most cost-effective for you.

But this weekend when all we needed was a kite, Big 5 was the *only* place that had a small selection of them after we tried finding them at both Target and Walmart. I called into the store first and was greeted by a friendly sales associate who said they definitely had kites. When we walked in and asked where the kites were, one of the sales associates happily walked us over to where they are. She even recommended the one that she had purchased for herself. For $10 and some change, this kite was a surprise hit at the beach this past Sunday. It was super easy to put together for someone like me who is completely clueless when it comes to putting things together. We had no issues with getting it up into the air and flying our Ladybug kite. Who knew that this kite could keep both the kids and adults entertained for hours? Between this kite and the shovels in the sand, it was a perfect day. Please come into this store and give them your business. With the onset of online shopping, it's so nice to walk into a store and be able to purchase in person.

Big 5 Sporting Goods used to be my go-to whenever was in need of baseball tees. The assorted colors are plentiful and I typically don't have any issues in finding the sizes I needed. This visit was unfortunately a let down. Not only were the color options scarce but the sizes in stock were just as terrible. I literally walked around the whole store twice, thinking I missed the baseball tee rack. Products are typically reasonably priced and employees are willing to help if you ask. Parking behind the store is plentiful but there is always street parking in front of the store if available. So why the 4 stars?? Thank you to the staff for being kind enough to do a search and helped me located my backup item I needed. It would have been great to find exactly what I wanted but it is very obvious that Big 5 has downsized in its items they offer/carry.
