S&S Activewear About Us
We began in Bolingbrook Illinois with a mission to serve our community. Over 3 decades and 5 locations later, and we’re still committed to the same goal––YOU.
S&S Activewear was founded in 1998 with the intention of providing imprintable apparel to a broad wholesale customer base. Over the years, we developed, what we believe is, the most extensive, easily-accessed collection of basic garments and fashion-forward styles, including t-shirts, hats, bags, performance apparel, uniforms, and more.
While apparel is what we sell, a relationship is what you’ll buy. From day one, our vision was to create more than just a destination for wholesalers to stock their shelves. We wanted to create a 360-degree resource for helping businesses thrive.
Our customers are our partners, and we do everything possible to give them the support they need to succeed. In addition to our catalogue of premium basic and fashion-forward apparel, we empower our partners with access to a wide range of marketing tools, including customizable website templates, flyers, and virtual designs.
Our core values of building relationships, serving our customers, and having fun lie at the heart of our company culture. We work with partners we believe in; we hire employees we enjoy seeing day after day; and we only make decisions that benefit those around us. We believe it’s these small things that have led to our big, big growth over the years.
Every day, we work to stretch our business further, so we can make the lives of those around us easier. Our national expansion – now with centers in Texas, Kansas, New Jersey, California, and more to come – means faster shipping times, a larger inventory, and more jobs for our community. Our centers are designed with the environment in mind and incorporate the latest trends in industry technology.
S&S’s inventory is consistently evolving to keep up with what’s new in basics and premium fashion. Our customers have called us progressive, hip, tech-savvy, reliable, collaborative, and cool – and we really like those words! At the end of the day: YOU are what this business was built for. So feel free to let us know the ways we can make your relationship with S&S better. Any day. Any time. We’re listening.
