Big 5 Sporting Goods — Local services in Thatcher

Lots of options. Hiking, hunting, camping, fishing swimming, Health and Fitness, Sports. Decent selection of workout equipment, safety equipment for both land and water, work and adventure. They have a decent gun selection and are not too ridiculously priced for them either. I had the pleasure of purchasing and owning a few firearms and Scopes that work excellently. ( Granted, the make and model you choose will play a good Factor in the quality) They have everything from your daily wear shoes to your hiking and athletic shoes and even steel toes for work. Although they did not have a decent selection of steel toes for women. However the gentleman did say he could order some. the staff was very friendly and very helpful. A young gentleman stood with us our whole time in the store helping us find shoes for two adults. The second time we came in a different young gentleman was very patient and helping finding children for two children. And while their focus seem to be on us they also were focus on other customers and helping them as well so kudos to the staff in their multitasking and most Pleasant customer service. I consider them knowledgeable about the store and about their products and I feel confidence that if they don't know they will find out and if they do not have it they will try their best to acquire it for you in a...

My visit here started off very bad. Was told by an employee named Shirley that I wasted or spent my money on nothing because there was no raincheck in my name or any documentation of my purchase. I did not have my receipt at the moment but I felt like I was being accused of trying to steal or get free merchandise. Which was a big spit in the face for me because I would never do such a thing like that. So I lost my cool and started swearing up and down the store. However there was one employee there, I do not know his name but he handled the situation very professionally and with patience. He did not crush under pressure which I was causing because I lost my cool over one rude employee. He found my purchase and took care of everything. Whoever this employee was definitely deserves a raise. He not only handled a tough situation very well but took care of his customer the right way. I will definitely be back for more business in the future. I am giving this store 4 stars for now. I will give 5 only if all the employees show this level of...

I've been going to this location for about 5 or 6 years. And for the first time I got the BEST customer service. Jacob, I think his name was, was helping my 76 year old mom find some shoes that wouldn't hurt her feet. She has gout, kidney disease, scoliosis and she's had back surgery. So needless to say she hasn't walked upright in several years. This young man helped her find the perfect size, the perfect fit, and she wore them out of the store. She paid for them of course. She walked out of this store upright and walking normal. I had tears in my eyes seeing my mom be able to stand upright and walk without pain. This young man is knowledgeable beyond his years and I am so very grateful to him for what he did for my mom that day. I'm fact it was August 2nd, 2025. Give this boy a raise and a promotion....
