My wife and I like to shop at Big 5 Sporting Goods Store…read morefor many years for shoes,athletic wear, and other items depends on what you need, like camping gear and warm clothes. Big 5 Sporting Good has everything that you need. I enjoy their prices on their shoe, very reasonable. We have been to different Big 5 Sporting goods in different locations. This is our first time at this location in El Monte. We found out their closing this Big 5, and they need to sell everything. One of the salesmen told us this lot is turning into a Out Burgers and Rising Cane.

They also have lots of deals and items on sale which incentivizes us to buy it now! Staff is very helpful, we did a lot of checkout changes and I knew it was frustrating to keep rescanning everything but the staff was so friendly and nice about it, they calmly checked us out. Sometimes they have really good clearance deals as well on seasonal items that are out of season. They just don't have a restroom so when my son has to go to the restroom the only option close by was target!

I stopped someone while he was walking the hallways, not knowing he was assisting someone else, and he pointed me to a section of the store before continuing to help the other customer. When I got to the section, he was magically there to tell us of the three types of "hiking hats" they have in the store. Unfortunately, they didn't have what I wanted in stock but he also followed up with some nearby stores. Super helpful - made our trip so much faster! Thanks so much!

I had a very disappointing experience shopping here on Father's Day…read more My son was using gift cards to purchase his birthday present and accidentally miscalculated his total after adding a $63 pack of football cards. When I realized the mistake, I politely asked if that item could be removed from the transaction. The cashier immediately responded, "I can't," and offered no explanation or attempt to help. A manager was called over and seemed visibly annoyed. We were told there were only two options: either void the entire transaction and wait approximately 20 minutes for the gift card funds to be restored, or pay the difference and then return the football cards afterward for store credit. Since there was no way I was spending an additional $63 on football cards, we chose to void the transaction and wait. We specifically discussed that it was Father's Day, that we needed to get to a family dinner, and that we would wait the required 20 minutes so my son could repurchase the correct items. The manager advised us to wait near the entrance or continue shopping. After the 20-minute wait, we spent another 15 minutes waiting for the same cashier to help us complete the purchase, only to discover that all of my son's items had been returned to the sales floor. We were then told, "You just left the items," despite the fact that we had clearly communicated our plan and followed the instructions we were given. What bothered me most was not the store policy itself, but the complete lack of customer service. There was no apology, no empathy, and no effort to make a frustrating situation easier--especially for a child trying to use birthday gift cards. The entire interaction felt dismissive and unnecessarily difficult. The saddest part was that my son left the store in tears instead of excited about his birthday gifts. What should have been a fun experience became a frustrating and upsetting one due to poor communication and a lack of basic customer service.

Even while helping another customer at the same time, she still made sure to check back with me and ask if I ended up finding the right size. That level of customer service really stood out to me. I love this location (plus it's in my hometown), and experiences like this are exactly why I keep coming back!

Upon entering everything is sorted in sections, they have a variety of things for sale and they have signs for trade ins or buying your old things as well. Some items are expensive because they are the higher quality or limited editions. They also sold used bikes and many you might need to ask staff to take a look at quality and price. We looked around and we asked about the bikes and was able to try one of them to see of it'll work for a particular body size. The staff were very helpful and they all helped answer questions. Overall, I think of we'd like to get something and don't have to spend much, we'd come back and ask and hopefully they have it!

Azteca just earned a new customer. As everyone who follows soccer knows, 2026 is a World Cup year,…read moreand it's always a race to find the jerseys for the team(s) you support. I downloaded the Nike app just to get updates on when Korea's jerseys were put out for sale, and there was nothing. I got desperate, because I really want to buy the home and away shirts, and after looking for places, I found Azteca had Korea's away jerseys on a Google search. Since I'd never heard of Azteca before that, I was naturally wary of buying from them, so I checked Reddit and found threads where people asked before me if Azteca was legit, and a lot of people vouched for them. With nothing more than the endorsements of strangers on Reddit, I put in my order for jerseys for my mom and I. I called the store in El Monte immediately to ask if they'd received my order, and the employee said they had, and given that I'd bought the jersey around 3 or 4 PM, it would ship the next day, which was completely valid. I tracked the shipping from the moment Azteca sent the confirmation and tracking numbers, and they just came in. I explained to the employee I talked to that I'm all the way up in NorCal, and I found them on a Google search, so here I was calling and ordering from NorCal. The jerseys came in, and they are amazing, and I checked other retailers if they had Korea's jerseys, including Nike, Dick's and Big 5, and Dick's was the only one that had any in stock on their website/app, but the inventory was limited. For the time I had to spend looking for a jersey and the recommendations those strangers gave on Reddit, this was well worth the buy and waiting for the delivery to come in the mail. I'd also like to shout out the employee I talked to, and while I didn't get her name, she was incredibly patient and kind with me, so thank you, Azteca. I can't wait to buy my next jersey from you guys.

Did not try to upsell me anything and recommended me strings for my arcsaber play. The place is a relatively small shop, but I got to know the owner. He said his shop has been here for a very long time. I actually drive by this place on my way to play badminton, but have never really seen it! His prices are incredibly reasonable, and I would surely come back to get a racket restrung. As far as shuttlecock or rackets for purchase, the selection is quite limited. The shuttlecocks were a bit pricey for the high quality ones, so I did not opt for them. He noted costs for shuttlecocks increased significantly due to tariffs. Anyhow, I am all for supporting small businesses, and he seems like an honest, genuine shop owner. Hope to see his shop succeed! Parking is available in front, shared with the rest of the plaza. Did not have any problems finding parking when I came.

Apparently he's experienced in both skiing and snowboarding, so it truly felt like he knew what he was talking about.
