Zumiez

Zumiez is a leading specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, accessories, and hardgoods for young people who want to express their individuality.

Our stores cater to young men and women between the ages of 12 and 25 who seek popular brands representing a lifestyle centered on activities that include skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding, BMX and motocross. We support the action sports lifestyle and promote our brand through a multi-faceted marketing approach that is designed to integrate our brand image with our customers’ activities and interests. This approach combined with our differentiated merchandising strategy, focus on an omni-channel purchasing process, store design, comprehensive training programs and passionate employees, allows us to provide an experience for our customers that we believe is consistent with their attitudes, fashion tastes and identities and is otherwise unavailable in most malls.

Our headquarters are in the thriving metropolis of Lynnwood, Washington, just North of Seattle. This is a cube-free, pet-friendly, skateboard welcome, open environment that’s designed to get people talking, debating the merits of an idea, and having fun.

Even though we were founded in 1978, our ~350 person home office culture still feels very start-up-y. And even though we’re the home office, you’ll find a strong empowered sales culture — not an administrative culture — here.
