Elevated Design, Process, and Execution

If you’ve landed on this page, then chances are you play a big role in bringing Burton to life. You’ve also likely noticed an evolving retail landscape over the last few years. We have, too. In fact, we’ve had our own evolution since we got started in a barn back in 1977. You’re part of our evolution, too, and that’s why you’re here.

So why does this matter? Well, Burton is much bigger than snowboarding and your store is more than just a place to shop. It’s an experience, a place to inspire and engage, an opportunity to connect others to our lifestyle, culture, and values. The knowledge you’ll gather through these guidelines will give you the tools to bring Burton to life in the best way possible.

Big Ideas

In many ways, retail is like riding. Conditions change constantly, progression is inevitable, and you’re guaranteed a few bumps along the way. We’re aware of what you face in your job daily and we aim to address the challenges with big ideas that identify areas of opportunity where we can make the biggest impact.

All in a way that makes it easier to track and measure success.
