'BIG 5' is the BIG name in the West

Big 5 Sporting Goods is a leading sporting goods retailer in the western United States, with 406 stores as of November, 2011. Our established markets are California, Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma, and in 2010 we opened our first store in Wyoming.

Big 5 operates traditional-size stores, which typically range from 8,000 to 15,000 square feet and average 11,000 square feet

Our stores are located primarily in multi-store shopping centers or free-standing street locations. We require high visibility, heavy traffic locations which encourage frequent customer visits. Big 5 is a premier draw for any shopping environment. We believe that with an average weekly distribution of over 18 million newspaper inserts or mailers, our advertisements consistently reach more households in our established markets than those of our full-line sporting goods competitors.

Founded in 1955, the company has followed a successful controlled growth strategy. During the last 5 years, Big 5 opened an average of approximately 16 new stores per year. We plan to continue, and possibly accelerate, this growth rate over the next several years.

When it comes to sporting goods, it's no wonder that Big 5 is the big name in the West.
