About Us

  • Triple S was established in 1969 in Amherst NY by three men who were friends.  All three men had last names that began with an S, so they decided to name their business Triple S.  Triple S began as a mail order fishing and hunting supplies store.  It was run out of the basement of one of the men’s houses until it became to big to run out of a basement.  At that time the company was growing and the three men who started the business decided to go their separate ways.  One of the men’s sons decided he would like to continue the business.  He moved the business out of the basement and into a warehouse where it quickly grew. 
  • The business grew and a bigger inventory meant the need for a bigger warehouse.  Triple S then moved to the Audubon Industrial Park in Amherst NY and grew to about 30 employees strong. 
  • Triple S is still a family run business providing sporting goods to businesses all over the world.
