BumperNets is America's First Table Tennis Store. The retail store is located in the Riverchase Galleria Mall in Birmingham, Alabama. The store and retail concepts originated in the mind of National Sr. Olympian Gold Medalist Homer Brown in August of 1999.
“Whether it’s people who want to buy a beautiful billiard table, table tennis setup, or other game, or folks who want to spend time with family or friends playing pool, ping-pong, pinball, or an arcade game, BumperNets has everything.” ― BCA Insider - 2019 Spring Edition
The idea and dream were started when Brown resigned as COO of Vulcan Oil Co. in late 1998. Brown had worked for BP Oil for twenty-three years in marketing and retail training before running a large oil company himself.
Brown wanted to make a living doing what he loved: promoting and playing table tennis. His dream included sharing a great sport with others while giving back to the sport. Therefore, he took his retail experience in the oil industry to create an interactive retail store that allows customers to rent game tables or receive lessons from professionals along with purchasing any equipment needed for a wide variety of games.
Brown came up with the name "BumperNets" from "bumper" for pool, and "nets" for table tennis.
Whether you are working on fostering that competitive spirit with others on table games or competing with your high scores in the arcade, you always walk away the winner with BumperNets.
At BumperNets, we take pride in the experience of our team. Whether you are looking to learn how to play table tennis, shoot pool like a pro, or need advice on the best games to put in your home, we can help you achieve maximum enjoyment.
