Zumiez Company Description
Zumiez's customers like to zoom. The online and mall-based retailer offers swank swag-like clothing, shoes, accessories, and gear to 12- to 24-year-olds who enjoy such action sports as snowboarding, BMX, skateboarding, and surfing. From about 285 stores in more than 25 states, Zumiez sells popular youth brands like Billabong, Burton, Hurley, Quiksilver, Vans, and Spy Optic, as well as private-label goods. Besides the usual hoodies, T-shirts, puffy skater shoes, and snowboarding goggles, stores also sport couches, video games, and sales clerks who really use the gear -- all designed to encourage the kids to hang out. Zumiez was founded in 1978 by its Chairman Thomas Campion, who owns 20% of the company's stock.
