PacSun is owned by Golden Gate Capital.

American lifestyle apparel retailer founded in 1980 in Seal Beach, California as a small surf shop by Jack Hopkins and Tom Moore, originally called Pacific Sunwear of California. The brand grew through the 1990s and 2000s by selling merchandise from established surf and skate labels, eventually operating over 1,300 stores across all 50 US states at peak. PacSun went public in 1993 but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2016 and was reorganized through a debt-for-equity restructuring that gave control to private equity firm Golden Gate Capital, taking the company private. In 2018 PacSun merged operationally with Eddie Bauer under the PSEB holding structure, though the two brands operate independently. As of 2025, PacSun operates approximately 325 stores targeting Gen Z consumers with a streetwear and youth culture-focused assortment.
