Handball-Store

Handball-Store, a specialist online retailer for handball equipment

Handball-Store is an e-commerce site dedicated to handball, offering equipment and accessories for players and clubs. Its catalogue is organised around shoes, handball clothing, balls, fan merchandise, lifestyle products, practice gear and fitness items, alongside a clearance section. The company presents itself as part of the Spacefoot family, a group described in its own material as a pioneer in sports e-commerce.

According to the company's account, the project began in 2012 out of an interest in handball, its acrobatic play and the French national teams. That starting point developed into a specialised catalogue covering indoor shoes, official France team jerseys and essential accessories.

Product range and brands

The store's navigation groups its offer into shoes, handball clothing, balls, fan products, lifestyle items, practice equipment, fitness and clearance. Brands named on the site include adidas, Puma and Hummel, and the buying team is said to work with more than 70 major handball brands. The buyers, described as handball specialists, follow new collections and monitor sales and orders with suppliers to keep products in stock.

Warehouse and logistics near Tours

The operation is supported by a 5,000 m² warehouse in Montlouis-sur-Loire (37), presented as the Handball-Store Park. The company states that this facility holds over 500,000 products from more than 5,000 brands and that goods are shipped across Europe and the United States. The same site houses around 50 team members and includes showrooms used for product testing and advice, as well as spaces where suppliers present upcoming collections.

A logistics team handles incoming and outgoing goods, aiming to receive new collections quickly and prepare and dispatch orders for France, Europe, the United States and, in the company's words, soon other destinations.
