Who we are:

Join Sports Basement, a sporting-goods retailer specialized in being a hub for the community, selling the best brands with basement prices, and giving back to the community since 1998. From a one-off shop in a San Francisco warehouse open only on the weekends to 12 fully stocked Bay Area locations and a recently opened OC location. We've added a rentals program, developed full-blown ski shops and bike shops in house, and even created geared for your gear needs. We've grown up quite a bit since 1998. Thanks to you, we're incredibly proud of the company we are today.

Our Mission:

We strive to help those communities shine a little brighter, be a little greener, and make our shared outdoor and indoor 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.

Our Core Values:

It's all been said before: We care about the customer, the community, the environment, etc. These are common values by which most companies try to abide. We are different because of how we prioritize and execute these values every day.

Couches before profit

Economical vs. Extravagant

Volunteer vs. Donate

Proximity vs Productivity

O.K. is not O.K.

Doers vs. Degrees

Creativity before efficiency

Autonomy before rules

YES vs. NO

Safety before speed
