“I have a drawer full of holsters. All are usable but none are perfect. Bulky, digging in your ribs when seated, and/or loose fitting clips. John Marques made excellent suggestions and delivered me a holster that is absolutely perfect. The best fit I ever had. It is slim, light and fits like it should. Kudos to him and his company there in Placerville.”
“I really appreciate having a local shop nearby with quality products for outdoor recreation. It’s such a pleasure doing business with Lindsey — she is so welcoming and attentive and kind. 10 out of 10 service experience. I had been shopping for hiking boots down in Folsom and didn’t find anything I loved and didn’t want to settle. The next day, I randomly stumbled into Sierra Mountain Outdoors on Main St and immediately spotted a pair of boots on sale — perfect fit, a well-loved brand, and the price was right! I didn’t have to settle for less and found the best option for me locally. Best part is, I live in Placerville and now know where to go to shop first for good gear and apparel in a jiffy.”
“Great selection of dog food, treats, toys, leashes and collars. I also get my wild bird feed here. The staff are friendly and helpful. Pets are always welcome inside too.”
“Big 5 is one of my favorite sporting goods retailer. I occasionally drop on into the Placerville location. It's on Placerville Drive, a few minutes drive north of the Highway 50 exit. The shop'soverall customer service is pretty good. The majority of the staff are awesome. A few weeks ago, I dropped in to check out the swim gear. But took a detour looking at the shoes. The associate (with reddish hair and eyeglasses) working that department helped me look for a couple of running shoes from the backroom inventory. No luck, none my size. Then as I was walking away, he took it upon himself to peruse the clearance rack, for my size and shoe type. At this time I only ventured a few aisles away, he found me to show me a pair he found on clearance. Visually, they were in great condition. A brand and style, and color palette I was looking for. It was the right size. I tried them on, they fit perfectly. Comfy. Better yet it was an additional 20% off. So all together the price was 47% off from the original retail price. Score. But gotta say, sure would appreciate a public restroom. Especially considering this Big 5 is in a stand alone building not close to any other retail businesses or within a shopping”
The outdoor retailer plans to open a 100,000-square-foot store in College Station, Texas, in 2028. It'll sit along State Highway 6, north of William D. Fitch Parkway, next to a Costco and in front of the future South College Station baseball and softball complex. On Sept. 24, the College Station City Council approved a $10.84 million sale of 28 acres in a unanimous vote. Bass Pro gets about 14 acres for its store. Dallas-based Corinth Properties will build a mixed-use project with restaurants and an event plaza on the other 14.
