Mission Throughout our 62-year history, we at Big 5 have focused on value, service, and integrity in our efforts to provide quality sporting goods products to our customers. Big 5 Sporting Goods has developed a reputation with the competitive and recreational sports enthusiast as a convenient neighborhood sporting goods store that consistently delivers value on quality merchandise.
Description Big 5 Sporting Goods has outgrown its name. The company, which started out with five army surplus shops in California in 1955, is a leading sporting goods retailer with over 400 stores in eleven western states, including California, Washington, and Arizona. The company sells brand-name (Adidas, Coleman, Easton ...) and private-label equipment, apparel, and footwear for indoor and outdoor activities such as camping, hunting, fishing, tennis, golf, and snowboarding. Big 5 has stuck with a neighborhood-store format (averaging approximately 11,000 sq. ft.) instead of opening massive superstores. Big 5 Sporting Goods is run by its chairman and CEO Steven Miller, the son of company co-founder Robert Miller.
