Positioning

Big 5 positions itself as a value-oriented retailer offering a wide selection of sporting goods at competitive prices, primarily targeting the casual sports participant. Its competitive advantage lies in its geographic focus (Western US) and its focus on value.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)
