Owen was very friendly and very knowledgeable when it came to running and shoes, he asked if I wanted to do a gait evaluation in order to see what shoes would be best for me. After a short jog on the treadmill he gave me a couple options that would help me with the running issues I was having. All options were at different price points and very reasonable. We found a pair I liked and I am very happy with my new shoes. Thank you Owen! I will for sure come back for my next pair.

Went to Dick's to purchase a new mountain bike for my grandson. First the prices for the quality…read morebike he wanted were very, very reasonable. The bike he wanted was not assembled completely or properly. The original sales person said he wanted another associate, Donovan, to check the bike and make any necessary adjustments. Donovan did a complete inspection of the bike, finding several missteps by the person who had originally assembled the bike. However Donovan remained pleasant and informative and did not criticize the other staff member. He checked every feature on the bike and fixed any deficiencies. We appreciated his knowledge and professionalism.

I am on crutches, and i went in to Big 5 to look for a new swimsuit. I asked the woman at the…read morecounter if she knew anything about the suit sizes. She came over, took the suit that i had adn was looking at (there were several identical suits on the wall where i was, but she chose to take the one i had in my hands). I took another suit and continued trying to parse out the sizes). She never did bring any new info; i had to just try them on, which is why i went in, so that was okay, but no, not helpful. I guess i was thinking that -working there- she might know. Or have a size chart to guide me. She was going to Google it, but i know how to Google, too - how is that 'help'? She got quite bristly, and i finally said 'maybe i'm just b!tchy today to try and break the icy interaction, and i tried to avoid her - she brought no help and it felt like she -what?- didn't think i could read because i was on crutches?? idk, but it struck me as not only unhelpful, but a condescending to just take things from me that i was looking over myself. The selection was great, and i found a suit that fit. I also picked up fins to play with at the pool, as they were sturdy and just the right size while being reasonably priced. I almost didn't; i'm retired and don't need to hurry. I almost left a few times interacting with her. The dressing room had marvelous handrails in handy places. Everything was clean. I went to another floor representative to ask about the fins, as the woman i was talking to didn't seem familiar at all with sports equipment. She may have been new, but in that case, maybe her owning that learning curve might ease interactions. But there was no owning any of her pushy 'help', to which she was bringing no knowledge or inside information, nor did she ask anyone else if they knew more about suit sizing. I hope she gets more conscientious of her walk-in customers; brick and mortar stores need good help, not just place holders.

Big 5 Sporting Goods offers a wide variety of merchandise for enjoying the outdoors, accessories…read morefor individual and team sports, as well as a limited selection of active lifestyle apparel. The store has a good selection of athletic and hiking shoes/boots at very good prices. Be sure to check the online weekly sale ad or the paper ad circular for many special discounts on a wide variety of sale products. Upon entering the store, one is greeted and directed to the item area they are looking for. Customers shop on their own, however it's usually easy to find a sales associate if one needs assistance. The employees are generally knowledgeable regarding the wide variety of merchandise they carry. This store is much smaller than their previous Madonna location. This has lowered the variety and quantity of products they offer in-stock. There is ample parking as the store is located in the Marigold Shopping Center, just off Broad St. & Tank Farm Rd.

The current owner clearly wants to take advantage by charging $25 just to hand someone the ammo they ordered. Bad enough the government makes us ship ammo to the gun shop, but when the shop owner is just as bad as the government with its excess fees for just wanting to utilize a constitutional right afforded to us by the constitution. I'll never buy so much as a key chain from these crooks. Some dufus behind the counter had the nerve to say he didn't think they were taking advantage of the gun owners.
