SPORTS BASEMENT IS YOUR COMMUNITY HUB More than a store From a one-off shop in a San Francisco warehouse open only on the weekends to 11 fully stocked Bay Area locations. We’ve added a rentals program, developed full-blown ski shops and bike shops in house, and even made this website. We've grown up quite a bit since 1998 (just take a look at our timeline). Thanks to you, we're incredibly proud of the company we are today. Giving back since 1998 Ten percent of Sports Basement’s earnings are redistributed into the community through our Basementeers program, where we partner with thousands of local schools and non-profits. Through this program and our partnerships for our events, fests, and races, the community has given over 10 million dollars (let’s read that again: ten m i l l i o n dollars) since our beginnings. A hub for the community Sports Basement locations are a hub for local clubs, non-profits, and corporate partners. We host over 7,000 events a year, which shakes down to about 20 events per day around the Bay! Our stores in all their reclaimed glory transform into whatever the community needs them to be. We serve as meeting halls, call centers, movie theaters, art galleries, yoga studios… we could even be a wedding venue if you want. We want to see your perspective and how we can meet you there. Harnessing local talent Our staff are the driving force behind all of our stores. They’re active community members running on their local trails and volunteering for their local animal shelters. They’re instructors at your local pool and fellow competitors in some of the hardest races in the country. They bring their passion and expertise to work so you know that when you need advice on gearing up you’re not getting a sales pitch, you’re getting guided to the right equipment by someone who’s been there. We’re lucky that our staff love coming to work almost as much as they enjoy getting outside. Best brands, basement prices While all our community meetings, team banquets, and film screenings are taking place, the Sports Basement store bustles on. Our buying team sources the best product from top brands, and scores us some pretty sweet deals along the way. They know what to look for in every product they’re choosing because they use it themselves when they’re adventuring outdoors. Their experience and knowledge bring us carefully curated gear that we know our customers want and will enjoy using. They also strive to make sure we have the best prices so that we can outfit the whole community. Our rentals, demos, deals, and more help make the the outdoors more accessible for everyone. After all, they’re not just looking for the best gear, they’re looking for the best gear for our communities. Through it all, Sports Basement has thrived because of YOU: the Bay Area communities that support us. We strive to help those communities shine a little brighter, be a little greener, and make our shared outdoor spaces more fun and accessible for everyone. At the end of the day we know that your gear is more than just stuff, and we're more than just a store.
