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.

No wonder this place has such bad reviews. The guy in the bike department didn't know what he was…read moretalking about and gave me all sorts of misinformation. Told me that I could order the bike online and have it shipped to the store. That's false. Turns out he actually works in the golf department which is not his fault but the bad attitude is. TLDR: I came with cash in hand ready to buy but I'll never be back.

I was in need of some San Francisco 49er gear and wanted to check out Dick's sporting goods to see…read morewhat they had to offer. Right when you walk in, they had a big section of 49er apparel and accessories. I really loved the selection of hats they had. I was hoping they would have more offerings of women's apparel, but the selection they had was small. There was a 49er top with red sequence all over it. It was beautiful but they only had two of them and neither were my size. The price for the top was $75, which I thought was a bit expensive. I decided on two 49er hats for myself and my husband. I headed to the checkout and was immediately helped. I asked to young lady at the checkout if they had more offerings for the 49er gear. She directed me to the back of the store where she said there were more items. I paid for my hats and then went to the back of the store where she suggested. There was a section there, as she claimed, but it was all football jerseys priced at $130 and above. I was happy with the purchase of the hats and left the store. It might be better to check online first before going to the store to find 49er gear for women.

It was a great time to compare Hokas and on cloud shoes. The store is huge with so much sports ware from winter gear, rackets, and so much more. It was a great shopping experience!

I will definitely be back to shop at this location thanks to Cole!

The crazy thing is they were broken into the day before and so glad we could buy some things and help support. He helped us choose good beginner wheels and trucks and expertly helped us cut the grip tape. He even gave my son a mini lesson to get him started before skateboard camp.
