Private Sport Shop est un distributeur français d’articles de sport et d’outdoor. Fondée en 2011 après s’être posé la question : « Est-ce normal de devoir dépenser autant pour pratiquer une activité physique ayant des vertus pour le corps et l’esprit ? » et rendu compte qu’il existait des stocks excédentaires des meilleures marques en Europe, Private Sport Shop s’est donnée une mission : rendre accessible la pratique du sport à tous. Ils ont même inventé leur propre sport : celui de faire baisser les prix du vôtre. Depuis, les équipes se sont agrandies, ce n’est pas moins de 200 collaborateurs passionnés de sport qui œuvrent chaque jour pour répondre aux besoins d’une communauté toujours plus grandissante. Leader de sa catégorie en Europe, Private Sport Shop compte aujourd’hui plus de 17 millions de membres à travers l’Europe et plus de 3000 marques partenaires. Au-delà des chiffres, l’entreprise française place les personnes et la durabilité au premier plan de toutes ses décisions. L'industrie du sport et de l’outdoor s'est engagée depuis quelques années dans une transition écologique afin de réduire son impact environnemental. En tant que distributeur, Private Sport Shop a l’intime conviction d’avoir son rôle à jouer pour protéger notre terrain de jeu favori : la planète.
