Tackle Warehouse Corporate Office

Tackle Warehouse was founded by Rich Zeilenga & Drew Munster in 2003 in San Luis Obispo, California. Zeilenga loved fishing but wasn’t sure how he could make a living doing so. After college, he went to work for friends at Tennis Warehouse. This is where Zeilenga got his idea to operate an online store similar to Tennis Warehouse, but for fishing enthusiasts.

The company began very small, operating only an online eCommerce store. All operations, including the warehouse, shipping, receiving, and customer service operations were done out of one very small building. The business quickly took off, however, forcing the company to move to larger spaces three times in their first 5 years.

The company now shares a super-sized warehouse with Tennis Warehouse. This has allowed Tackle Warehouse to open up a large storefront. Customers can also look through the entire product line in the store via computer. Anything not in the store is located in the stock room and can be brought to the customer in minutes.

The company is best known for hiring customer service rep’s that are also avid fishermen who have tried many of the products that are sold.

The corporate office is located in the same building as the warehouse and storefront, in San Luis Obispo, California. The company ships internationally and has a very active information channel on YouTube.
