Giving Back to the Communities We Serve

The Hot Tub Store has been providing wellness and better living for 50 Years

As a locally family-owned and operated company celebrating our 50th year in business in Northern California, it is important to us to help improve the lives of the people in our community. We thank you for your support. The hot tub, swim spa, and sauna products that we represent provide multiple wellness benefits for the people who use them. We encourage our customers to use their spas daily to connect with family, relieve stress, increase blood circulation, relax muscles, think more clearly, sleep better, and live better. We truly believe the world would be better if everyone had a hot tub and we are helping to improve our world one hot tub at a time.

Supporting Our Communities

The Hot Tub Store serves a large area of Northern California and takes pride in supporting the communities where our valued customers and team members live. We are part of the community and aim to give back when we can. Over the years, our families and friends have been affected by the pandemic with the loss of jobs and businesses. We have been able to donate to the food banks in all the counties where we have showrooms. We have been affected by several wildfires over the last few years and have been able to donate to several deserving organizations helping those most affected by these recent disasters. The Hot Tub Store collects hundreds of books and toys each year for Toys for Tots. We are a part of the greater community and we aim to help improve the lives of the people where we live.

Helping the People of Our Communities Eat Healthy Food

Our company is all about wellness and living well. We know that there are many families who struggle to put food on the table and as we have been doing annually, we again have donated $50,000 to local food banks. This is a gift of $10,000 to each of the five local food banks in the counties where we have Hot Tub Store showrooms. Thank you for your support and your referrals. You and your friends who support our business are helping us to be able to give to our community members in need.

Making the Holidays More Joyful for Children with Toys For Tots

Extremely important to our company and our entire team is our giving back to the communities we live in. Each holiday season we provide discounts to our customers when they bring toys and books for our Toys For Tots toy and book drive. We are extremely grateful to our amazing customers who during each winter holiday season help us collect almost 1,000 toys and books that help make Christmas much more joyful for many children less fortunate. Thank you so much for your generosity.

Our Team Cares

Rather than have our leadership team decide who to support, we asked all of our amazing team members who they would like to donate to this year. The Hot Tub Store gifted $500 for each of our team members to the organization they each chose.

Some of the causes our team members chose for us to support this year include animal shelters, women’s shelters, homeless shelters, breast cancer research, heart disease research, forest and environment protection, parks and trails organizations, family and children programs, among others.

We are proud to have donated $20,000 on behalf of our team to the valuable non-profit organizations chosen by our team members.

Our Customers Are Amazing!

It is you, our amazing customers, who have helped to support our business and our team to improve our world one hot tub at a time. We know that you care about the community where you live and we are proud to be a local company that gives back to the community that supports us. Thank you for supporting our team. Thank you for spreading the word about how wonderful hot tubbing is. Thank you for helping us improve people’s lives.

With joy and gratitude, Happy Holidays to you and yours.

UPDATE: Spring 2024

The Hot Tub Store is excited to be helping improve lives one hot tub at at time! 

The Hot Tub Store Celebrates Isaac with a Heartwarming Gift of a New Hot Tub

The Hot Tub Store is thrilled to announce a special event that embodies the spirit of community and generosity. On May 11th, 2024, at 11 a.m., we invited Isaac and his family to join us at our West Sacramento location for an unforgettable moment – the unveiling of a brand-new Hot Spring Spa, a generous gift to an extraordinary young man, Isaac, and his parents. 

Isaac Bringolf, who is now 31 years old, has been living with the effects of epilepsy and cerebral palsy, and for the last 23 years, has benefited from the use of a hot tub gifted to him back in 2001 as part of the Make a Wish Foundation. That old hot tub is now in dire need of replacement and The Hot Tub Store is proud to be part of gifting Isaac and his family a new Hot Spring spa.

This event is not just a celebration; it’s our way of giving back, of saying thanks, and of recognizing those who inspire us with their strength and determination.

A special thank you to Cold Springs Church in Placerville and an anonymous donor from Watkins Wellness, manufacturer of Hot Spring spas, for help and support with this project! Our gratitude to Christina and John Reeves for contacting us and helping us to help this family in need.

Isaac’s journey has touched us deeply, and we’re honored to play a part in bringing some well-deserved joy and relaxation to him and his family.

New 2024 Logo

With our 50th Anniversary wrapped up in 2023, we released a new logo for 2024.

1973-2023  50th Anniversary Logo

We again in 2024 are proud to continue to support the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation to help with their education and trails programs.

UPDATE: Winter 2023

The Hot Tub Store is proud to again donate to several non profits supporting causes near and dear to the hearts of our team members. The Hot Tub Store feels that giving back to our community is an extremely important part of doing business in our region.

During our 50th Anniversary year, we are proud to have donated to local food banks, parks and trails, pet shelters, and women’s shelters.

UPDATE: Pre-Summer 2023

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary in business, we’re thrilled to announce a partnership with Spring Lake Regional Park in Santa Rosa, which is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. As a business that has deep roots in Santa Rosa, we recognize the importance of giving back to our local community that has supported us for all these years. That’s why we are proud to announce our sponsorship of Spring Lake’s 50th anniversary and our commitment to donate $5,000 to support education and park improvement projects.

Spring Lake Regional Park has been a beloved part of the Sonoma County community for half a century. With its beautiful lake, scenic trails, and ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, the park is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.

We’re also excited to offer our customers the opportunity to contribute to this great cause. Our Santa Rosa showroom is a location where we have Spring Lake 50th Anniversary bandanas available for people who would like to make a donation of $50 or more to Spring Lake Regional Park. And as a token of our appreciation, The Hot Tub Store will give a rubber ducky to anyone making a donation.

If you’re in the market for a hot tub or swim spa, now is the perfect time to make your purchase. For every hot tub or swim spa sold during the months of May and June, we will donate an additional $250 to the park. We are committed to raise another $5,000 for Spring Lake Regional Park. By making a purchase from The Hot Tub Store, you can help us support this beloved community space and ensure that it remains a vibrant and thriving part of our community for years to come.

UPDATE: Spring 2023

2023 has been slower for backyard transformation projects with so much rain in Northern California. The rain is good for our drought conditions, but has been hard for our delivery crews and our customers waiting to add hot tubbing to their life.
More and more of our hot tubbers have been choosing to have our professional technicians provide watercare valet service and our backyard valet service routes keep growing. If you want to have your hot tub taken care of, contact us to sign up for valet service.

We were sad to lose a valued team member in April of 2023.
Ken Murdoch was a cherished member of our team who lost his battle with his heart. In honor of the memory of our hard working technician who was a true animal lover, we have donated $1,500 to his favorite animal shelter in Sacramento. In loving memory, may he rest in peace. If you would like to make a donation in Ken’s honor, please help support the Front Street Animal Shelter.

UPDATE: Winter 2022

2022 continued with strong demand for our wellness products. Our manufacturers were able to supply us with more products to be delivered to our valued customers as supply chain issues stabilized somewhat. Our teams worked extremely hard to take good care of everyone who wanted to invest in our products for their family’s home well-being.

As the world opened its doors to travel, we saw a fall off in people investing in their home environments as many went off on vacations. Inflation and supply chain issues continued to push prices for everything higher. Still, our home wellness products offer so many benefits for the people who use them, that demand continues to be strong.

We were proud to be able to invest in the communities where we live and help to make our local world a better place. We donated on behalf of each of our employees to the causes they chose for us to support. Some of the causes our team members chose for us to support this year included heart disease research, family and children programs, parks and trails organizations, animal shelters, women’s shelters, homeless shelters, breast cancer research, forest and environment protection, among others.

Annually, we have been donating to our local food banks to provide thousands of meals for people who need this assistance. We are proud to again donate $10,000 to each of the five food banks in each county where we have hot tub showrooms. This $50,000 contribution helped to provide tens of thousands of meals to families in need.

Christmas and Hanukkah are more special for children when they have presents. With the help of our amazing customers, we were able to collect almost 1,000 toys and books for less fortunate children to have a special holiday season.

We hosted a canned food drive this past year that was so successful that we extended it into early 2023. With the generosity of our amazing customers, we were able to collect close to 2,000 cans of food that were donated to our local food banks. This along with our monetary donations to the food banks will continue to be part of our annual giving.

UPDATE: Winter 2021

2021 was a year when the world was still locked in a pandemic, but also opened up a bit more now and then. Hot tubs were in high demand, but the supply chain was still very challenged and the wait for new hot tubs and swim spas was much longer than usual.
While sales were strong, deliveries were slow. We did all we could to help our valued clients to get the wellness devices their families needed.

We continued to give back to our communities with donations on behalf of each of our employees to the causes they chose for us to support. Some of the causes our team members chose for us to support this year included animal shelters, women’s shelters, homeless shelters, breast cancer research, heart disease research, forest and environment protection, parks and trails organizations, family and children programs, among others.

Most of us who get to enjoy the wellness benefits of hot tubbing live pretty comfortable lives. There are many in our community who struggle to make ends meet. It is important to us that we help to give to those in need. We are proud to have been able to give to five food banks. We were able to donate $10,000 to each of five food banks in each county where we have hot tub showrooms. This $50,000 contribution helped to provide tens of thousands of meals to families in need.

During the holidays, with the help of our amazing customers, we were able to collect more than 1,000 toys and books for less fortunate children to have a special holiday season.

UPDATE Winter 2020:

2020 has been an unprecedented year, a year none of us will forget. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us. Some have lost their jobs. Some have lost their businesses. Some have gotten sick with COVID-19 and struggled to recover. Some have sadly lost family members or friends. Some have continued to go to work and have risked their lives every day. Some have been able to work from home. We have all had changes in our lives and have spent much more time at home. Some have struggled to make ends meet and to keep a roof over their head. Some have thrived and moved to more comfortable places. We have all been affected by the pandemic.

The Hot Tub Store saw sales fall off a cliff in March. We thought we might close our doors forever…. And then, things changed. People realized they were going to be home more and they decided hot tubs and swim spas would make their home environments nicer. 2020 ended up being an extremely successful year for hot tub and swim spa sales. Supply chain and backlog issues made it difficult to deliver products to people wanting new spas. All the same, our company did have better success than many. We are forever grateful to have been blessed with the opportunity to improve people’s home environments.

In an effort to do what we know to be best, we always aim to give back to our communities in ways that help those less fortunate. We were able to give $10,000 to each of the five food banks, one in each county where we have showrooms. A total of $50,000 was donated to the Redwood Empire Food Bank, Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, Sacramento Food Bank, Placer Food Bank, and the Food Bank of El Dorado County. We also donated $5,000 to the World Central Kitchen in memory of our dearly departed team member Nancy Rogers, who we lost to cancer.

Our annual Toys for Tots toy and book drive was extraordinarily successful in 2020 and we were able to collect more than 1000 new toys and books for children of families less fortunate.
Our team worked harder than ever in 2020 and we were proud to be able to give generous bonuses to all of our valued employees. It is the people who make our company successful and being able to help support our employees and their families is what drives The Hot Tub Store to continue to be here locally after 48 years in business.

We sincerely thank each and every one of our valued customers for their support during this difficult time that was 2020. We know that our products bring our customers more relaxation, health and wellness, enjoyment, family connection, and hydrotherapy now and into the future. Congratulations on choosing to make hot tubbing and aquatic wellness a part of your daily ritual and routine.

Thank you for being a part of our giving back to our community.

Love Is All There Is.

UPDATE Summer 2020:

As the skies are filled with smoke and there are fires burning all around us, we want to send our virtual support, kindness, and good thoughts to all those who have been evacuated from their homes and affected by these recent fires. We want to send a heartfelt thank you to all the first responders who are out risking their lives to fight these blazes and protect our homes and communities. We want to thank all of the health care workers who have been working tirelessly for months to keep us all safe and healthy. We want to thank all of you for continuing to do your small parts to keep each other safe and well.

For 47 years, we have been the destination in Northern California for people to experience wellness and relaxation. Now, more than ever, the demand for what we built our business on (hot tubs and swim spas) is extraordinarily high.

We’ve always believed in the wellness benefits of the products we offer and service. When used routinely, our hot tubs and swim spas truly can make every day better. Now, more than ever, we are doing everything we can to make sure that our customers have their very own safe haven for relaxation at home.

If you are already one of our valued customers, we thank you for your continued support and your trust in us. If you are thinking about one of our products, thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.

UPDATE Spring 2020:

It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of one of our own team members. Nancy Rogers joined The Hot Tub Store team in 2005. What Nancy enjoyed most of all about the hot tub business was helping improve people’s lives.

UPDATE December 2019:

The recent Kincade Fire burned more than 77,000 acres and almost 400 structures. More than 180,000 nearby residents were ordered to evacuate their homes. The entire Sonoma County community has been affected by this and has brought back many painful memories of the fires of October 2017 that burned more than 6000 homes in the Santa Rosa area. The rebuilding of Sonoma County is still only just getting started.

In an effort to give back and support the thousands of people affected by these fires, we will be donating a portion of all sales to the Rebuild NorthBay Foundation and the Sonoma County Resilience Fund.

With your purchase from The Hot Tub Store, you are helping us to help those in need.

UPDATE: 2018

Every contribution to the North Bay Fire Relief fund helped and we are proud that The Hot Tub Store with the support of our amazing team and our valued customers was able to donate $35,854.22 in 2017. We donated $2,000 to the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation in 2018 to help rebuild fire-ravaged trails. We were able to donate an additional $17,648.98 to the Camp Fire Relief Fund in 2018. Each year, we offer our valued customers deep discounts when they donate toys and books. Our holiday toy and book drive has been extremely successful for many years with 100’s of toys and books donated annually during the holidays for Toys for Tots. Love Is All There Is

Fire Relief

Our community has suffered great losses from fire again in 2018. The Hot Tub Store was saddened to see so many people affected by this tragic fire. We are proud to have been able to donate $17,648.98 to the Camp Fire Relief Fund set up by Sierra Nevada Brewery. 100% of this donation will go to the people affected by this fire.

Information about the Camp Fire

The Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history to date.[8] It was also the deadliest wildfire in the United States since the Cloquet fire in 1918, and among the deadliest wildfires, it was the sixth-deadliest U.S. wildfire overall. Named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin, the fire started on November 8, 2018, in Butte County, in Northern California. After exhibiting extreme fire behavior, an urban firestorm formed in the densely populated foothill town of Paradise. The fire caused at least 86 civilian fatalities, injured 12 civilians and 5 firefighters, covered an area of 153,336 acres, and destroyed 18,804 structures, with most of the damage occurring within the first four hours. As of November 19, insured damage was estimated to be $7.5–10 billion. The fire reached 100 percent containment after seventeen days on November 25, 2018. The community of Concow and the town of Paradise were destroyed within the first six hours of the fire, losing an estimated 95 percent of their buildings. The town of Magalia also suffered substantial damage and the community of Pulga suffered some. At least 19,000 buildings were destroyed, most of them homes, but also included five public schools in Paradise, a rest home, churches, a hospital, a large shopping center, and numerous small businesses.

Fire Relief Update

October 8, 2018 marks one year since the devastating firestorms swept through Sonoma County destroying more than 6000 homes. The Hot Tub Store was proud to, with the support of our valued customers, be able to contribute $35,854.22 to the Fire Relief Fund in October 2017.

We have continued our efforts to help those affected by these devastating fires in 2018. We have so far helped to replace more than 20 hot tubs that were lost in the fires and have reserved 2018 pricing for more than 40 other people who lost all their worldly belongings. We have worked to get all of our valued customers the absolute best price possible to replace their burned hot tub or to add a hot tub to their life.

Those who have a hot tub know that life is not the same when you don’t have a hot tub to soak in and we appreciate the urgency and the need to help these people get back into the relaxing hot tubs they were accustomed to. In 2018, we also worked with our team member Justin Borton of our Santa Rosa hot tub store showroom to help sponsor a running event, Sonoma Strong Restoration Challenge, to raise money and awareness for rebuilding damaged trails in the Sonoma County Regional Parks and we donated $2,000.00 to this park restoration project. The Hot Tub Store values this connection with nature at our parks and values the work needed to restore our parks from damages caused by the fires. The parks are a place where everyone can escape the stresses of the fire recovery process and enjoy nature. We see the connection with nature as being important and similar to the relaxing benefits of soaking in your hot tub each day. We really appreciate being able to give back to our community in this way.

We are sincerely sorry for all the loss of property and life, and the devastating damage that our area has experienced. This tragic event has brought our community together in ways that we have not seen and we all want to do our part to help those in need and to support those who have worked hard to protect our homes and improve our lives. Fortunately, all of our Northern California based team members, contractors, and vendors are alive and safe. A few have lost their homes including one of our key shareholders. Many of our hot tubber family of customers have lost their homes and many more were evacuated. We are here to support all those affected by the fires.

The Hot Tub Store is showing support for those affected by the fires by donating to the Redwood Credit Union North Bay Fire Relief Fund to help those in need after these devastating wildfires that have burned more than 6,000 structures and displaced thousands of people.
