help wanted
It's time to hire. Third Base is growing. Fast. With Nico's help, Mila built something good. But running a shop isn't just about the clothes and trinkets; it's about the people.
We'll be interviewing potential employees, making tough calls, and rolling the dice (literally) on who gets a spot on the team. Your choices determine the future of the shop. Will you hire the seasoned pro? The wildcard with potential? A total dud?
MEET MILA.
bambi's mom is shaking She hunts, you gather. Even back when the shop was a just popup run out of Mila's bike basket, our boss and OG shopgirl ran on the belief that a good find should feel like fate.

Whatโs your go-to karaoke song?
'Promiscuous' by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland. Duet optional, but highly encouraged.
What's your favorite aspect of your job?
Making the shop look good online. People don't just shop anymore, they scroll first; so if the captionโs cringe, or the vibe isn't hitting? I fix it.
MEET SOUTA.
past, meet present. souta rides both. Third Bases's token surfer boy brings the laid-back energy of Beachline into every inch of our shop. Don't @ us when your grandma walks out with a perfectly sun-bleached '90s Thrasher tee; blame Souta.

A guy came in and found a 1996 Powell Peralta teeโsame one he had in middle school, same stains in the same spots. He said, โDude, this is literally my shirt.โ No idea how it got here, but he bought it back.
