About Us
Amateur Athlete Skate Shop and our story.
Amateur Athlete started in downtown Bethlehem right near the now defunct Boyd Theater. For a few years that's wear our home base was. The product we had was always quality and locals learned that AA was the place to go for quality footwear apparel and more. A few years after opening at the board theater we out grew things at that location and were looking for something bigger!
In time, Amateur Athlete relocated once more - this time towards the front of Westgate Mall - as the need for larger premises became apparent once again. Throughout all these changes, however, one thing remained constant: the commitment of Amateur Athleteโs owners and staff to stay true to their core values and lifestyle ethos no matter what trends or styles were popular at any given moment.
This dedication has seen Amateur Athlete grow over the years despite any challenges they may face along the way; they remain determined that their customers should always have access to whatever gear they need with knowledge and service that canโt be beat!
