Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	-2	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, Big 5 Corp. and Big 5 Services Corp. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Reporting Period
	The Company follows the concept of a 52-53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 each included 52 weeks.
	Recently Issued Accounting Updates
	There have been no recently issued accounting updates that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Use of Estimates
	Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of merchandise inventories, property and equipment, and goodwill; valuation allowances for receivables, sales returns and deferred income tax assets; estimates related to gift card breakage and the valuation of share-based compensation awards; and obligations related to asset retirements, litigation, self-insurance liabilities and employee benefits. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
	Segment Reporting
	The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer whose Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s stores typically have similar square footage and offer essentially the same general product category mix. The Company’s core customer demographic remains similar chain-wide, as does the Company’s process for the procurement and marketing of its product mix. Furthermore, the Company distributes its product mix chain-wide from a single distribution center. Given the consolidated level of review by the CODM, the Company operates as one reportable segment as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting.
	The approximate net sales attributable to hard goods, athletic and sport apparel, athletic and sport footwear and other for the periods presented are set forth as follows:
			Fiscal Year
			2013		2012		2011
			(In thousands)
	Hard goods		$	540,698	$	514,942	$	491,493
	Athletic and sport apparel			174,021		152,648		145,209
	Athletic and sport footwear			275,744		271,596		262,558
	Other sales			2,860		1,304		2,874
	Net sales		$	993,323	$	940,490	$	902,134
	Earnings Per Share
	The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company earns revenue by selling merchandise primarily through its retail stores. Revenue is recognized when merchandise is sold and delivered to the customer and is shown net of estimated returns during the relevant period. The allowance for sales returns is estimated based upon historical experience.
	Cash received from the sale of gift cards is recorded as a liability, and revenue is recognized upon the redemption of the gift card or when it is determined that the likelihood of redemption is remote (“gift card breakage”) and no liability to relevant jurisdictions exists. The Company determines the gift card breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns and recognizes gift card breakage on a straight-line basis over the estimated gift card redemption period (20 quarters as of the end of fiscal 2013). The Company recognized approximately $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million in gift card breakage revenue for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	The Company records sales tax collected from its customers on a net basis, and therefore excludes it from revenue as defined in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.
	Included in revenue are sales of returned merchandise to vendors specializing in the resale of defective or used products, which accounted for less than 1% of net sales in each of the periods reported.
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise, net of discounts or allowances earned, freight, inventory reserves, buying, distribution center expense, including depreciation, and store occupancy expense. Store occupancy expense includes rent, amortization of leasehold improvements, common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance.
	Selling and Administrative Expense
	Selling and administrative expense includes store-related expense, other than store occupancy expense, as well as advertising, depreciation and amortization, expense associated with operating the Company’s corporate headquarters and impairment charges, if any.
	Vendor Allowances
	The Company receives allowances for co-operative advertising and volume purchase rebates earned through programs with certain vendors. The Company records a receivable for these allowances which are earned but not yet received when it is determined the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable, in accordance with ASC 605. Amounts relating to the purchase of merchandise are treated as a reduction of inventory cost and reduce cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction in selling and administrative expense. The Company performs detailed analyses to determine the appropriate amount of vendor allowances to be applied as a reduction of merchandise cost and selling and administrative expense.
	Advertising Expense
	Advertising is expensed when the advertising first occurs. Advertising expense, net of co-operative advertising allowances, amounted to $44.5 million, $45.9 million and $47.6 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising expense is included in selling and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company receives co-operative advertising allowances from product vendors in order to subsidize qualifying advertising and similar promotional expenditures made relating to vendors’ products. These advertising allowances are recognized as a reduction to selling and administrative expense when the Company incurs the advertising expense eligible for the credit. Co-operative advertising allowances recognized as a reduction to selling and administrative expense amounted to $6.2 million, $6.2 million and $6.2 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period using the fair-value method for share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted with service-only conditions. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion on share-based compensation.
	Pre-opening Costs
	Pre-opening costs for new stores, which consist primarily of payroll and recruiting expense, training, marketing, rent, travel and supplies, are expensed as incurred.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Book overdrafts are classified as current liabilities.
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable consist primarily of third party purchasing card receivables, amounts due from inventory vendors for returned products, volume purchase rebates or co-operative advertising, amounts due from lessors for tenant improvement allowances and insurance recovery receivables. Accounts receivable have not historically resulted in any material credit losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided when accounts are determined to be uncollectible.
	Valuation of Merchandise Inventories, Net
	The Company’s merchandise inventories are made up of finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market using the weighted-average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Average cost includes the direct purchase price of merchandise inventory, net of certain vendor allowances and cash discounts, in-bound freight-related expense and allocated overhead expense associated with the Company’s distribution center.
	Management regularly reviews inventories and records valuation reserves for damaged and defective merchandise, merchandise items with slow-moving or obsolescence exposure and merchandise that has a carrying value that exceeds market value. Because of its merchandise mix, the Company has not historically experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence.
	Inventory shrinkage is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical inventory shrinkage trends. The Company performs physical inventories of its stores at least once per year and cycle counts inventories at its distribution center throughout the year. The reserve for inventory shrinkage represents an estimate for inventory shrinkage for each store since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date.
	These reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from expectations.
	Prepaid Expenses
	Prepaid expenses include the prepayment of various operating expenses such as insurance, rent, income and property taxes, software maintenance and supplies, which are expensed when the operating cost is realized.
	Property and Equipment, Net
	Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated or amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings		20 years
	Leasehold improvements		Shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease
	Furniture, equipment and internal-use software		3 - 10 years
	Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
	In fiscal 2013, the Company incurred costs to purchase and develop software for internal use and for its website associated with the development of an e-commerce initiative. Costs related to the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software and website development are expensed as incurred. For fiscal 2013, the Company capitalized $1.6 million of costs associated with internal-use software and website development for its e-commerce initiative. The Company expects this software to be placed into service in fiscal 2014, at which time amortization will commence.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Under ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value may not be recoverable.
	The Company performed an annual impairment test as of the end of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, and determined that goodwill was not impaired.
	Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for recoverability at the lowest level in which there are identifiable cash flows (“asset group”), usually at the store level. Each store typically requires investments of approximately $0.4 million in long-lived assets to be held and used, subject to recoverability testing. The carrying amount of an asset group is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If the asset group is determined not to be recoverable, then an impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value, determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques, as defined in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
The Company determines the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset group by projecting future revenue, gross margin and operating expense for each store under evaluation for impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include assumptions about sales growth rates, gross margins and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and future expectations, competitive factors in various markets and inflation. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions.
In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to certain underperforming stores. These impairment charges are included in selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases and Deferred Rent
The Company accounts for its leases under the provisions of ASC 840, Leases.
The Company evaluates and classifies its leases as either operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate office. Capital lease obligations consist principally of leases for some of the Company’s distribution center delivery tractors, management information systems hardware and point-of-sale equipment for the Company’s stores.
Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease. These contingent rents are expensed as they accrue.
Deferred rent represents the difference between rent paid and the amounts expensed for operating leases. Certain leases have scheduled rent increases, and certain leases include an initial period of free or reduced rent as an inducement to enter into the lease agreement (“rent holidays”). The Company recognizes rent expense for rent increases and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases, without regard to when rent payments are made. The calculation of straight-line rent is based on the “reasonably assured” lease term as defined in ASC 840 and may exceed the initial non-cancelable lease term.
Landlord allowances for tenant improvements, or lease incentives, are recorded as deferred rent and amortized on a straight-line basis over the “reasonably assured” lease term as a component of rent expense.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for its asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires the recognition of a liability for the fair value of a legally required asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s ARO liabilities are associated with the disposal and retirement of leasehold improvements resulting from contractual obligations at the end of a lease to restore the facility back to a condition specified in the lease agreement.
The Company records the net present value of the ARO liability and also records a related capital asset in an equal amount for those leases that contractually obligate the Company with an asset retirement obligation. The estimate of the ARO liability is based on a number of assumptions including store closing costs, inflation rates and discount rates. Accretion expense related to the ARO liability is recognized as operating expense. The capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the leasehold improvement. Upon ARO removal, any difference between the actual retirement expense incurred and the recorded estimated ARO liability is recognized as an operating gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The ARO liability, which totaled $0.7 million and $0.7 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Self-Insurance Liabilities
The Company maintains self-insurance programs for its commercial general liability risk and, in certain states, its estimated workers’ compensation liability risk. The Company also has a self-funded insurance program for a portion of its employee medical benefits. Under these programs, the Company maintains insurance coverage for losses in excess of specified per-occurrence amounts. Estimated expenses incurred under the self-insured workers’ compensation and medical benefits programs, including incurred but not reported claims, are recorded as expense based upon historical experience, trends of paid and incurred claims, and other actuarial assumptions. If actual claims trends under these programs, including the severity or frequency of claims, differ from the Company’s estimates, its financial results may be significantly impacted. The Company’s estimated self-insurance liabilities, which are reported gross of expected workers’ compensation insurance reimbursements, are classified on the balance sheet as accrued expenses or other long-term liabilities based upon whether they are expected to be paid during or beyond the normal operating cycle of 12 months from the date of the consolidated financial statements. Self-insurance liabilities totaled $11.6 million and $10.4 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, of which $4.4 million and $4.0 million were recorded as a component of accrued expenses as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, and $7.2 million and $6.4 million were recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
Under the asset and liability method prescribed within ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded if necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure.
The Company operates traditional sporting goods retail stores located in the western United States. Because of this, the Company is subject to regional risks, such as the economy, including downturns in the housing market, state financial conditions, unemployment and gas prices. Other regional risks include weather conditions, power outages, droughts, earthquakes and other natural disasters specific to the states in which the Company operates.
The Company relies on a single distribution center located in Riverside, California, which services all of its stores. Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to the distribution center due to fire, earthquake or any other cause could damage a significant portion of inventory and could materially impair the Company’s ability to adequately stock its stores.
A substantial amount of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad, and shipped through the Port of Los Angeles. From time to time, shipping ports experience capacity constraints, labor strikes, work stoppages or other disruptions that may delay the delivery of imported products. In addition, acts of terrorism could significantly disrupt operations at shipping ports or otherwise impact transportation of the Company’s imported merchandise. Disruptions at the Port of Los Angeles, or other shipping ports, may result in delays in the transportation of such products to the Company’s distribution center and may ultimately delay the Company’s ability to adequately stock its stores.
The Company purchases merchandise from approximately 800 suppliers, and the Company’s 20 largest suppliers accounted for 39.2% of total purchases in fiscal 2013. One vendor represented greater than 5% of total purchases, at 8.3%, in fiscal 2013. A significant portion of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad in countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea. If a disruption of trade were to occur from the countries in which the suppliers of the Company’s vendors are located, the Company may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of products to satisfy its requirements, or the cost of obtaining products may increase.
The Company could be exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any lender under its revolving credit facility. Instability in the financial and capital markets brings additional potential risks to the Company, including higher costs of credit, potential lender defaults, and potential commercial bank failures. The Company has received no indication that any such events will negatively impact the lenders under its current revolving credit facility; however, the possibility does exist.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	-4	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to certain underperforming stores. The weak sales performance, coupled with future undiscounted cash flow projections, indicated that the carrying value of these stores’ assets exceeded their estimated fair values as determined by their future discounted cash flow projections. When projecting the stream of future cash flows associated with an individual store for purposes of determining long-lived asset recoverability, management makes assumptions, incorporating local market conditions, about key store variables including sales growth rates, gross profit and operating expenses. If economic conditions deteriorate in the markets in which the Company conducts business, or if other negative market conditions develop, the Company may experience additional impairment charges in the future for underperforming stores. These impairment charges are included in selling and administrative expense for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 in the consolidated statements of operations.

	The Company closed four underperforming stores in fiscal 2012, which were not relocated. The store closing costs primarily consist of remaining lease rental payments related to non-cancelable leases that expire in fiscal 2014. The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s store closing reserves:

	The Company recorded a net reduction of $70,000 in expense for fiscal 2013 primarily resulting from sublease income received after the closure of these underperforming stores, and has incurred $1.1 million of net expense to date since initially recording store closing costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This expense is reflected as part of selling and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	As of December 29, 2013, the liability for accrued store closing costs is recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 30, 2012, the current portion of accrued store closing costs was recorded in accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion was recorded in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	-6	Fair Value Measurements
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values of these instruments due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount for borrowings under the revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. When the Company recognizes impairment on certain of its underperforming stores, the carrying values of these stores are reduced to their estimated fair values.
	As of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company’s only significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition were assets subject to long-lived asset impairment related to certain underperforming stores. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company estimated the fair values of these long-lived assets based on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable market data, when available. The Company classified these fair value measurements as Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for which market data are not available and that are developed using the best information available about pricing assumptions used by market participants in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. After the impairment charges, the carrying values of the remaining assets of these stores were not material.

Long-Term Debt	'
	-9	Long-Term Debt
	On October 18, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which was amended on October 31, 2011 and December 19, 2013 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”), as further discussed below. Initial borrowings under the Credit Agreement on October 18, 2010 were used to, among other things, repay all of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness under the prior financing agreement, at which time the prior financing agreement was terminated.
	The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an aggregate committed availability of up to $140.0 million, which amount may be increased at the Company’s option up to a maximum of $165.0 million. The Company may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Credit Agreement will have the option to increase their commitments to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, the Company may (with the consent of Wells Fargo, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The Credit Facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility were originally to mature and become due on October 18, 2014. On October 31, 2011, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend its maturity date to October 31, 2016, and on December 19, 2013, the Credit Agreement was further amended to extend its maturity date to December 19, 2018 (see discussion below). Total remaining borrowing availability, after subtracting letters of credit, was $96.1 million and $88.2 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
	The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Loan Cap”). After giving effect to the amendments, the “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation of (a) 90.00% of eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the cost of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the lesser of (i) the cost of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 90.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory), or (ii) $10.0 million, minus (d) certain reserves established by Wells Fargo in its role as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
	Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Credit Facility as either base rate loans or LIBO rate loans. In each case, prior to the amendments dated October 31, 2011 and December 19, 2013, the applicable interest rate was a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Loan Cap over amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Excess Availability”). Those loans designated as LIBO rate loans bore interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBO rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the table below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bore interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), (b) the LIBO rate, as adjusted to account for statutory reserves, plus one percent (1.00%), or (c) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo as its “prime rate.” Prior to the amendments discussed below, the applicable margin for all loans was as set forth below as a function of Average Daily Excess Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter.
	Level		Average Daily Excess Availability		LIBO Rate	Base Rate
					Applicable	Applicable
					Margin	Margin
	I		Greater than 50% of the Loan Cap		2.00%	1.00%
	II		Less than or equal to 50% of the Loan Cap		2.25%	1.25%
	On October 31, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (“First Amendment”) and amended certain provisions of the Credit Agreement. After the First Amendment, the applicable interest rate on the Company’s borrowings was a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Loan Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Excess Availability”). Those loans designated as LIBO rate loans bore interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBO rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the table below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bore interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), (b) the LIBO rate, as adjusted to account for statutory reserves, plus one percent (1.00%), or (c) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo as its “prime rate.” The applicable margin for all loans was as set forth below as a function of Average Daily Excess Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter.
	Level		Average Daily Excess Availability		LIBO Rate	Base Rate
					Applicable	Applicable
					Margin	Margin
	I		Greater than or equal to $70,000,000		1.50%	0.50%
	II		Greater than or equal to $40,000,000		1.75%	0.75%
	III		Less than $40,000,000		2.00%	1.00%
	The First Amendment reduced the commitment fee assessed on the unused portion of the Credit Facility to 0.375% per annum. The First Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from October 18, 2014 to October 31, 2016 and modified the provisions for restricting certain payments and investments.
	On December 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (“Second Amendment”) and amended certain provisions of the Credit Agreement. After the Second Amendment, the applicable interest rate on the Company’s borrowings will be a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Loan Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Excess Availability”). Those loans designated as LIBO rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable LIBO rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the table below. Those loans designated as base rate loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), (b) the LIBO rate, as adjusted to account for statutory reserves, plus one percent (1.00%), or (c) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo as its “prime rate.” The applicable margin for all loans will be set forth below as a function of Average Daily Excess Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter.
	Level		Average Daily Excess Availability		LIBO Rate	Base Rate
					Applicable	Applicable
					Margin	Margin
	I		Greater than or equal to $100,000,000		1.25%	0.25%
	II		Less than $100,000,000 but greater than or equal to $40,000,000		1.50%	0.50%
	III		Less than $40,000,000		1.75%	0.75%
	The Second Amendment reduced the commitment fee assessed on the unused portion of the Credit Facility to 0.25% per annum, and reduced certain fees for letters of credit. The Second Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from October 31, 2016 to December 19, 2018.
	Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a general lien and perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances, and limit the ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. The Company may declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the Credit Facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the Credit Facility for five days after becoming due, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against the Company, failure to pay when due (or any other default which does or may lead to the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events.
	At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the one-month LIBO rate was 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively, and the Wells Fargo Bank prime lending rate was 3.25% and 3.25%, respectively. The average interest rate on the Company’s revolving credit borrowings during fiscal 2013 and 2012 was 2.11% and 2.18%, respectively. On December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had borrowings outstanding bearing interest at both LIBO and the prime lending rates as follows:

	In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the periods during which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.
	The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and files tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The statutes of limitations for its consolidated federal income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2010 and after, and state and local income tax returns are open for fiscal years 2009 and after.
	Effective January 2, 2013, The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted, which contained provisions that retroactively reinstated the work opportunity tax credit (“WOTC”) and the 15 year cost recovery life of qualified leasehold improvements from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. As a result of this legislation, the Company applied WOTC of approximately $0.3 million to its fiscal 2013 first quarter tax provision for amounts generated in 2012, resulting in a reduction to its estimated effective tax rate for the 2013 first quarter of 137 basis points. Also as a result of this legislation, the Company increased its 2012 federal depreciation deduction by approximately $2.8 million, which resulted in a reduction to deferred tax assets and income taxes payable by approximately $1.1 million.
	At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate over the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.

Earnings Per Share	'
	(11)    Earnings Per Share
	The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:
		Year Ended
		December 29,		December 30,		January 1,
		2013		2012		2012
		(In thousands, except per share data)
	Net income	$	27,946	$	14,915	$	11,673
	Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding:
	Basic		21,765		21,394		21,656
	Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents arising from share option, nonvested share and nonvested share unit awards		318		222		213
	Diluted		22,083		21,616		21,869
	Basic earnings per share	$	1.28	$	0.7	$	0.54
	Diluted earnings per share	$	1.27	$	0.69	$	0.53
	The computation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 does not include share option awards in the amounts of 763,688, 1,240,966 and 1,043,480, respectively, that were outstanding and antidilutive (i.e., including such share option awards would result in higher earnings per share), since the exercise prices of these share option awards exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares. Additionally, the computation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2013 and 2011 does not include nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards in the amounts of 10,236 and 118,312 shares, respectively, that were outstanding and antidilutive, since the grant date fair values of these nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common shares. No nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards were antidilutive for fiscal 2012.
	In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company resumed its share repurchase activity under its share repurchase program, repurchasing 109,550 shares of common stock for $1.0 million in fiscal 2011 and 448,991 shares of common stock for $3.6 million in fiscal 2012. Of the shares of common stock repurchased in fiscal 2012, certain shares were repurchased and accrued in the amount of $75,000 in December of fiscal 2012 which the Company paid in January of fiscal 2013. The Company did not repurchase shares of common stock during fiscal 2013. Since the inception of the Company’s initial share repurchase program in May 2006 through December 29, 2013, the Company has repurchased a total of 1,927,626 shares for $25.4 million, leaving a total of $9.6 million available for share repurchases under the current share repurchase program.

	The Company was served on the following dates with the following nine complaints, each of which was brought as a purported class action on behalf of persons who made purchases at the Company’s stores in California using credit cards and were requested or required to provide personal identification information at the time of the transaction: (1) on February 22, 2011, a complaint filed in the California Superior Court in the County of Los Angeles, entitled Maria Eugenia Saenz Valiente v. Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, et al., Case No. BC455049; (2) on February 22, 2011, a complaint filed in the California Superior Court in the County of Los Angeles, entitled Scott Mossler v.

Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, et al., Case No. 39-2011-00261014-CU-BT-STK; and (9) on May 31, 2011, a complaint filed in the California Superior Court in the County of Los Angeles, entitled Deena Gabriel v. Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, et al., Case No. BC462213. On June 16, 2011, the Judicial Council of California issued an Order Assigning Coordination Trial Judge designating the California Superior Court in the County of Los Angeles as having jurisdiction to coordinate and to hear all nine of the cases as Case No. JCCP4667. On October 21, 2011, the plaintiffs collectively filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint, alleging violations of the California Civil Code, negligence, invasion of privacy and unlawful intrusion. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that customers making purchases with credit cards at the Company’s stores in California were improperly requested to provide their zip code at the time of such purchases. The plaintiffs seek, on behalf of the class members, the following: statutory penalties; attorneys’ fees; expenses; restitution of property; disgorgement of profits; and injunctive relief. In an effort to negotiate a settlement of this litigation, the Company and plaintiffs engaged in Mandatory Settlement Conferences conducted by the court on February 6, 2013, February 19, 2013, April 2, 2013, September 12, 2013, and September 20, 2013, and also engaged in mediation conducted by a third party mediator on July 15, 2013. As a result of the foregoing, the parties agreed to settle the lawsuit. The court has not yet granted preliminary approval or final approval of the settlement. On November 15, 2013, the proposed settlement was submitted to the court for preliminary approval. On January 30, 2014, the court initially heard the motion for preliminary approval and continued the motion to March 5, 2014. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the Company agreed that class members who submit valid and timely claim forms will receive either a $25 gift card (with proof of purchase) or a $10 merchandise voucher (without proof of purchase). Additionally, the Company agreed to pay plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the court, enhancement payments to the class representatives and claims administrator’s fees. Under the proposed settlement, if the total amount paid by the Company for the class payout, class representative enhancement payments and claims administrator’s fees is less than $1.0 million, then the Company will issue merchandise vouchers to a charity for the balance of the deficiency in the manner provided in the settlement agreement. The Company’s estimated total cost pursuant to this proposed settlement is reflected in a legal settlement accrual recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company admitted no liability or wrongdoing with respect to the claims set forth in the lawsuit. Once final approval is granted, the settlement will constitute a full and complete settlement and release of all claims related to the lawsuit. Based on the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company currently believes that settlement of this litigation will not have a material negative impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, if the settlement is not finally approved by the court, the Company intends to defend this litigation vigorously. If the settlement is not finally approved by the court and this litigation is settled or resolved unfavorably to the Company, this litigation and the costs of defending it could have a material negative impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
	The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

	2002 Stock Incentive Plan
	In June 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”). The 2002 Plan provided for the grant of incentive share option awards and non-qualified share option awards to the Company’s employees, directors and specified consultants. Share option awards granted under the 2002 Plan generally vested and became exercisable at the rate of 25% per year with a maximum life of ten years. Upon exercise of granted share option awards, shares are expected to be issued from new shares previously registered for the 2002 Plan. The 2002 Plan was terminated in connection with the approval of the 2007 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan, as described below. Consequently, at December 29, 2013, no shares remained available for future grant and 651,390 share option awards remained outstanding under the 2002 Plan, subject to adjustment to reflect any changes in the outstanding common stock of the Company by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock combination, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin off or other similar transaction.
	2007 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan
	In June 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”) and cancelled the 2002 Plan. The aggregate amount of shares authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan is 2,399,250 shares of common stock of the Company, plus any shares subject to awards granted under the 2002 Plan which are forfeited, expire or are cancelled after April 24, 2007 (the effective date of the 2007 Plan). This amount represents the amount of shares that remained available for grant under the 2002 Plan as of April 24, 2007. Awards under the 2007 Plan may consist of share option awards (both incentive share option awards and non-qualified share option awards), stock appreciation rights, nonvested share awards, other stock unit awards, performance awards, or dividend equivalents. Any shares that are subject to awards of options or stock appreciation rights shall be counted against this limit (i.e., shares available for grant) as one share for every one share granted, regardless of the number of shares actually delivered pursuant to the awards. Any shares that are subject to awards other than share option awards or stock appreciation rights (including shares delivered on the settlement of dividend equivalents) shall be counted against this limit (i.e., shares available for grant) as 2.5 shares for every one share granted. The aggregate number of shares available under the 2007 Plan and the number of shares subject to outstanding share option awards will be increased or decreased to reflect any changes in the outstanding common stock of the Company by reason of any recapitalization, spin-off, reorganization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or similar transaction. Share option awards granted under the 2007 Plan generally vest and become exercisable at the rate of 25% per year with a maximum life of ten years. Share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. The exercise price of the share option awards is equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Upon the grant of nonvested share awards or the exercise of granted share option awards, shares are expected to be issued from new shares which were registered for the 2007 Plan.
	Amendment and Restatement of 2007 Plan
	On June 14, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2007 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (as so amended and restated, the “Amended 2007 Plan”). The Amended 2007 Plan did not result in any modifications to any of the Company’s outstanding share-based payment awards. Generally, the amendment and restatement made the following revisions to the 2007 Plan that had been adopted as of April 24, 2007:
		•		the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued or subject to awards under the Amended 2007 Plan was increased by 1,250,000 from the number authorized by the 2007 Plan;
		•		the term of the Amended 2007 Plan was extended through April 26, 2021 (i.e., by approximately four years from the scheduled expiration of the 2007 Plan);
		•		the continuation of the terms of Article X of the Amended 2007 Plan was approved for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
		•		certain technical updates and enhancements were implemented, including an exception to certain vesting requirements for up to 10% of the shares authorized under the Amended 2007 Plan.
	These principal features of the Amended 2007 Plan are not intended to be a complete discussion of all of the terms of the Amended 2007 Plan. A copy of the Amended 2007 Plan was filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
	In fiscal 2013, the Company granted 127,020 nonvested share awards, 12,000 nonvested share unit awards and 30,500 share option awards to certain employees, as defined by ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, under the Amended 2007 Plan. At December 29, 2013, 1,115,173 shares remained available for future grant and 337,740 share option awards, 333,770 nonvested share awards and 25,500 nonvested share unit awards remained outstanding under the Amended 2007 Plan.
	The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the fair-value method for share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted with service-only conditions. The estimated forfeiture rate considers historical employee turnover rates stratified into employee pools in comparison with an overall employee turnover rate, as well as expectations about the future. The Company periodically revises the estimated forfeiture rate in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense recorded under this method for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $1.9 million, $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which reduced operating income and income before income taxes by the same amount. Compensation expense recognized in cost of sales was $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and compensation expense recognized in selling and administrative expense was $1.8 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The recognized tax benefit related to compensation expense for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $0.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Net income for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was reduced by $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, or $0.05, $0.05 and $0.06 per basic and diluted share, respectively.
	Share Option Awards
	The fair value of each share option award on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes method based on the following weighted-average assumptions:
			Year Ended
			December 29,			December 30,		January 1,
			2013			2012		2012
	Risk-free interest rate			1.40%			1.20%		2.00%
	Expected term			6.9 years			7.7 years		7.3 years
	Expected volatility			57.50%			53.00%		51.00%
	Expected dividend yield			2.30%			4.70%		3.80%
	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option award; the expected term represents the weighted-average period of time that option awards granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical participant exercise behavior; the expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s common stock; and the expected dividend yield is based upon the Company’s current dividend rate and future expectations.
	The weighted-average grant-date fair value of share option awards granted for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $8.37 per share, $2.12 per share and $2.84 per share, respectively.
	A summary of the status of the Company’s share option awards is presented below:
			Shares			Weighted-		Weighted-		Aggregate
						Average		Average		Intrinsic Value
						Exercise		Remaining
						Price		Contractual
								Life
								(In Years)
	Outstanding at December 30, 2012			1,500,250		$	15.05
	Granted			30,500			18.12
	Exercised			(482,295	)		9.51
	Forfeited or Expired			(59,325	)		15.23
	Outstanding at December 29, 2013			989,130		$	17.83		2.89	$	3,482,891
	Exercisable at December 29, 2013			921,130		$	18.24		2.48	$	2,998,375
	Vested and Expected to Vest at December 29, 2013			988,197		$	17.84		2.89	$	3,477,901
	The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based upon the Company’s closing stock price of $19.19 per share as of December 29, 2013, which would have been received by the share option award holders had all share option award holders exercised their share option awards as of that date.
	The total intrinsic value of share option awards exercised for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $5.1 million, $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The total cash received from employees as a result of employee share option award exercises for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $4.6 million, $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from share option award exercises in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $2.0 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
	As of December 29, 2013, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share option awards granted. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.
	Nonvested Share Awards and Nonvested Share Unit Awards
	Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted by the Company vest from the date of grant in four equal annual installments of 25% per year with a maximum life of ten years. Nonvested share awards are delivered to the recipient upon their vesting. With respect to nonvested share unit awards, vested shares will be delivered to the recipient on the tenth business day of January following the year in which the recipient’s service to the Company is terminated. The total fair value of nonvested share awards which vested during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $1.8 million, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
	The following table details the Company’s nonvested share awards activity for fiscal 2013:
			Shares			Weighted-
						Average Grant-
						Date Fair Value
	Balance at December 30, 2012			331,625		$	11.01
	Granted			127,020			15.56
	Vested			(113,825	)		11.91
	Forfeited			(11,050	)		12.52
	Balance at December 29, 2013			333,770		$	12.38
	The following table details the Company’s nonvested share unit awards activity for fiscal 2013:
			Units			Weighted-
						Average Grant-
						Date Fair Value
	Balance at December 30, 2012			18,750		$	7.02
	Granted			12,000			20.29
	Vested			(5,250	)		7.16
	Forfeited			—			—
	Balance at December 29, 2013			25,500		$	13.24
	The weighted-average grant-date fair value of nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards is the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, as shown in the tables above. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of nonvested share awards granted in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $15.56 per share, $7.79 per share and $11.84 per share, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of the Company’s nonvested share unit awards granted in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $20.29 per share, $6.33 per share and $8.26 per share, respectively.
As of December 29, 2013, there was $2.7 million and $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards, respectively. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.2 years and 2.7 years for nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards, respectively.
To satisfy employee minimum statutory tax withholding requirements for nonvested share awards that vest, the Company withholds and retires a portion of the vesting common shares, unless an employee elects to pay cash. In fiscal 2013, the Company withheld 41,812 common shares with a total value of $0.6 million. This amount is presented as a cash outflow from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation	'
	Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation, Big 5 Corp. and Big 5 Services Corp. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reporting Period	'
	Reporting Period
	The Company follows the concept of a 52-53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 each included 52 weeks.
Recently Issued Accounting Updates	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Updates
	There have been no recently issued accounting updates that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of merchandise inventories, property and equipment, and goodwill; valuation allowances for receivables, sales returns and deferred income tax assets; estimates related to gift card breakage and the valuation of share-based compensation awards; and obligations related to asset retirements, litigation, self-insurance liabilities and employee benefits. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting
	The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer whose Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s stores typically have similar square footage and offer essentially the same general product category mix. The Company’s core customer demographic remains similar chain-wide, as does the Company’s process for the procurement and marketing of its product mix. Furthermore, the Company distributes its product mix chain-wide from a single distribution center. Given the consolidated level of review by the CODM, the Company operates as one reportable segment as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting.
	The approximate net sales attributable to hard goods, athletic and sport apparel, athletic and sport footwear and other for the periods presented are set forth as follows:
		Fiscal Year
		2013		2012		2011
		(In thousands)
	Hard goods	$	540,698	$	514,942	$	491,493
	Athletic and sport apparel		174,021		152,648		145,209
	Athletic and sport footwear		275,744		271,596		262,558
	Other sales		2,860		1,304		2,874
	Net sales	$	993,323	$	940,490	$	902,134
Earnings Per Share	'
	Earnings Per Share
	The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company earns revenue by selling merchandise primarily through its retail stores. Revenue is recognized when merchandise is sold and delivered to the customer and is shown net of estimated returns during the relevant period. The allowance for sales returns is estimated based upon historical experience.
	Cash received from the sale of gift cards is recorded as a liability, and revenue is recognized upon the redemption of the gift card or when it is determined that the likelihood of redemption is remote (“gift card breakage”) and no liability to relevant jurisdictions exists. The Company determines the gift card breakage rate based upon historical redemption patterns and recognizes gift card breakage on a straight-line basis over the estimated gift card redemption period (20 quarters as of the end of fiscal 2013). The Company recognized approximately $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million in gift card breakage revenue for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	The Company records sales tax collected from its customers on a net basis, and therefore excludes it from revenue as defined in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.
	Included in revenue are sales of returned merchandise to vendors specializing in the resale of defective or used products, which accounted for less than 1% of net sales in each of the periods reported.
Cost of Sales	'
	Cost of Sales
	Cost of sales includes the cost of merchandise, net of discounts or allowances earned, freight, inventory reserves, buying, distribution center expense, including depreciation, and store occupancy expense. Store occupancy expense includes rent, amortization of leasehold improvements, common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance.
Selling and Administrative Expense	'
	Selling and Administrative Expense
	Selling and administrative expense includes store-related expense, other than store occupancy expense, as well as advertising, depreciation and amortization, expense associated with operating the Company’s corporate headquarters and impairment charges, if any.
Vendor Allowances	'
	Vendor Allowances
	The Company receives allowances for co-operative advertising and volume purchase rebates earned through programs with certain vendors. The Company records a receivable for these allowances which are earned but not yet received when it is determined the amounts are probable and reasonably estimable, in accordance with ASC 605. Amounts relating to the purchase of merchandise are treated as a reduction of inventory cost and reduce cost of goods sold as the merchandise is sold. Amounts that represent a reimbursement of costs incurred, such as advertising, are recorded as a reduction in selling and administrative expense. The Company performs detailed analyses to determine the appropriate amount of vendor allowances to be applied as a reduction of merchandise cost and selling and administrative expense.
Advertising Expense	'
	Advertising Expense
	Advertising is expensed when the advertising first occurs. Advertising expense, net of co-operative advertising allowances, amounted to $44.5 million, $45.9 million and $47.6 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Advertising expense is included in selling and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company receives co-operative advertising allowances from product vendors in order to subsidize qualifying advertising and similar promotional expenditures made relating to vendors’ products. These advertising allowances are recognized as a reduction to selling and administrative expense when the Company incurs the advertising expense eligible for the credit. Co-operative advertising allowances recognized as a reduction to selling and administrative expense amounted to $6.2 million, $6.2 million and $6.2 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period using the fair-value method for share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted with service-only conditions. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion on share-based compensation.
Pre-opening Costs	'
	Pre-opening Costs
	Pre-opening costs for new stores, which consist primarily of payroll and recruiting expense, training, marketing, rent, travel and supplies, are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Book overdrafts are classified as current liabilities.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable consist primarily of third party purchasing card receivables, amounts due from inventory vendors for returned products, volume purchase rebates or co-operative advertising, amounts due from lessors for tenant improvement allowances and insurance recovery receivables. Accounts receivable have not historically resulted in any material credit losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided when accounts are determined to be uncollectible.
Valuation of Merchandise Inventories, Net	'
	Valuation of Merchandise Inventories, Net
	The Company’s merchandise inventories are made up of finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market using the weighted-average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Average cost includes the direct purchase price of merchandise inventory, net of certain vendor allowances and cash discounts, in-bound freight-related expense and allocated overhead expense associated with the Company’s distribution center.
	Management regularly reviews inventories and records valuation reserves for damaged and defective merchandise, merchandise items with slow-moving or obsolescence exposure and merchandise that has a carrying value that exceeds market value. Because of its merchandise mix, the Company has not historically experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence.
	Inventory shrinkage is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical inventory shrinkage trends. The Company performs physical inventories of its stores at least once per year and cycle counts inventories at its distribution center throughout the year. The reserve for inventory shrinkage represents an estimate for inventory shrinkage for each store since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date.
	These reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from expectations.
Prepaid Expenses	'
	Prepaid Expenses
	Prepaid expenses include the prepayment of various operating expenses such as insurance, rent, income and property taxes, software maintenance and supplies, which are expensed when the operating cost is realized.
Property and Equipment, Net	'
	Property and Equipment, Net
	Property and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated or amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings	20 years
	Leasehold improvements	Shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease
	Furniture, equipment and internal-use software	3 - 10 years
	Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
	In fiscal 2013, the Company incurred costs to purchase and develop software for internal use and for its website associated with the development of an e-commerce initiative. Costs related to the application development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software and website development are expensed as incurred. For fiscal 2013, the Company capitalized $1.6 million of costs associated with internal-use software and website development for its e-commerce initiative. The Company expects this software to be placed into service in fiscal 2014, at which time amortization will commence.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. Under ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not amortized but evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value may not be recoverable.
	The Company performed an annual impairment test as of the end of fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, and determined that goodwill was not impaired.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
	Long-lived assets are reviewed for recoverability at the lowest level in which there are identifiable cash flows (“asset group”), usually at the store level. Each store typically requires investments of approximately $0.4 million in long-lived assets to be held and used, subject to recoverability testing. The carrying amount of an asset group is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If the asset group is determined not to be recoverable, then an impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value, determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques, as defined in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
	The Company determines the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset group by projecting future revenue, gross margin and operating expense for each store under evaluation for impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include assumptions about sales growth rates, gross margins and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and future expectations, competitive factors in various markets and inflation. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions.
	In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized pre-tax non-cash impairment charges of $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to certain underperforming stores. These impairment charges are included in selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases and Deferred Rent	'
	Leases and Deferred Rent
	The Company accounts for its leases under the provisions of ASC 840, Leases.
	The Company evaluates and classifies its leases as either operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate office. Capital lease obligations consist principally of leases for some of the Company’s distribution center delivery tractors, management information systems hardware and point-of-sale equipment for the Company’s stores.
	Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease. These contingent rents are expensed as they accrue.
	Deferred rent represents the difference between rent paid and the amounts expensed for operating leases. Certain leases have scheduled rent increases, and certain leases include an initial period of free or reduced rent as an inducement to enter into the lease agreement (“rent holidays”). The Company recognizes rent expense for rent increases and rent holidays on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying leases, without regard to when rent payments are made. The calculation of straight-line rent is based on the “reasonably assured” lease term as defined in ASC 840 and may exceed the initial non-cancelable lease term.
	Landlord allowances for tenant improvements, or lease incentives, are recorded as deferred rent and amortized on a straight-line basis over the “reasonably assured” lease term as a component of rent expense.
Asset Retirement Obligations	'
	Asset Retirement Obligations
	The Company accounts for its asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) in accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires the recognition of a liability for the fair value of a legally required asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s ARO liabilities are associated with the disposal and retirement of leasehold improvements resulting from contractual obligations at the end of a lease to restore the facility back to a condition specified in the lease agreement.
	The Company records the net present value of the ARO liability and also records a related capital asset in an equal amount for those leases that contractually obligate the Company with an asset retirement obligation. The estimate of the ARO liability is based on a number of assumptions including store closing costs, inflation rates and discount rates. Accretion expense related to the ARO liability is recognized as operating expense. The capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the leasehold improvement. Upon ARO removal, any difference between the actual retirement expense incurred and the recorded estimated ARO liability is recognized as an operating gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The ARO liability, which totaled $0.7 million and $0.7 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Self-Insurance Liabilities	'
	Self-Insurance Liabilities
	The Company maintains self-insurance programs for its commercial general liability risk and, in certain states, its estimated workers’ compensation liability risk. The Company also has a self-funded insurance program for a portion of its employee medical benefits. Under these programs, the Company maintains insurance coverage for losses in excess of specified per-occurrence amounts. Estimated expenses incurred under the self-insured workers’ compensation and medical benefits programs, including incurred but not reported claims, are recorded as expense based upon historical experience, trends of paid and incurred claims, and other actuarial assumptions. If actual claims trends under these programs, including the severity or frequency of claims, differ from the Company’s estimates, its financial results may be significantly impacted. The Company’s estimated self-insurance liabilities, which are reported gross of expected workers’ compensation insurance reimbursements, are classified on the balance sheet as accrued expenses or other long-term liabilities based upon whether they are expected to be paid during or beyond the normal operating cycle of 12 months from the date of the consolidated financial statements. Self-insurance liabilities totaled $11.6 million and $10.4 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, of which $4.4 million and $4.0 million were recorded as a component of accrued expenses as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, and $7.2 million and $6.4 million were recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Under the asset and liability method prescribed within ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded if necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
	ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
	The Company’s practice is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expense. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.
Concentration of Risk	'
	Concentration of Risk
	The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure.
	The Company operates traditional sporting goods retail stores located in the western United States. Because of this, the Company is subject to regional risks, such as the economy, including downturns in the housing market, state financial conditions, unemployment and gas prices. Other regional risks include weather conditions, power outages, droughts, earthquakes and other natural disasters specific to the states in which the Company operates.
	The Company relies on a single distribution center located in Riverside, California, which services all of its stores. Any natural disaster or other serious disruption to the distribution center due to fire, earthquake or any other cause could damage a significant portion of inventory and could materially impair the Company’s ability to adequately stock its stores.
	A substantial amount of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad, and shipped through the Port of Los Angeles. From time to time, shipping ports experience capacity constraints, labor strikes, work stoppages or other disruptions that may delay the delivery of imported products. In addition, acts of terrorism could significantly disrupt operations at shipping ports or otherwise impact transportation of the Company’s imported merchandise. Disruptions at the Port of Los Angeles, or other shipping ports, may result in delays in the transportation of such products to the Company’s distribution center and may ultimately delay the Company’s ability to adequately stock its stores.
	The Company purchases merchandise from approximately 800 suppliers, and the Company’s 20 largest suppliers accounted for 39.2% of total purchases in fiscal 2013. One vendor represented greater than 5% of total purchases, at 8.3%, in fiscal 2013. A significant portion of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad in countries such as China, Taiwan and South Korea. If a disruption of trade were to occur from the countries in which the suppliers of the Company’s vendors are located, the Company may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of products to satisfy its requirements, or the cost of obtaining products may increase.
	The Company could be exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by any lender under its revolving credit facility. Instability in the financial and capital markets brings additional potential risks to the Company, including higher costs of credit, potential lender defaults, and potential commercial bank failures. The Company has received no indication that any such events will negatively impact the lenders under its current revolving credit facility; however, the possibility does exist.
