With his father already working in sports facility construction in beautiful Austria, it was not necessarily surprising for Andi Kaiser that he wanted to try out the ski slopes while helping out with the construction.
Fresh out of ski school, Andi completed his training as a retail salesman. His passion for sport could only be satisfied through many different sports: Surfing (teacher), skiing (teacher), athletics, soccer (coach), inline skating (coach) and, and, and.
It was during his passion for surfing that he finally met his current wife Evi. Unhindered by Austrian jokes, Andi remained steadfast and fell in love not only with Evi, but also with her homeland - the Chiemgau.
From 1988-1997, Andi worked at "Sport Steigenberger" in Aschau i. Ch. After a very short time, Andi also gained a foothold in many clubs in Chiemgau. His involvement ranged from soccer coach to ski club to 1st board member of the Prienliners, including association coach. With the birth of his first son, he moved closer to home and Andi found his working home at "Intersport Erhard" in Prien a.Ch. from 1997 - 2005.
With the good fortune of having a wife who was also a sports enthusiast at his side, Andi fulfilled his lifelong dream and the two of them took over the long-established traditional business in 2005.
The trend store "1080" was added in 2008. The major expansion with a professional workshop took place in 2011 and the "Am Mühlbach" branch was opened. For logistical reasons, the store at the train station was added as a second store in 2013 in place of "1080".
Together, Evi and Andi have 1200 square meters of pure Passion for sport in Prien a.Ch. - plus a SUP rental in the Schafwaschener Bucht in Rimsting - and the next generation is already on board!
All or nothing. Our philosophy at Sport Kaiser consists of many important points that are interconnected. But we always have to do it with all our heart. Hardly any company can work entirely without using resources, yet we are absolutely committed to promoting sustainability. Mindfulness of nature, respect for people and finding harmony between people and nature are our top priorities.
The branch in Bahnhofstrasse has been closed since the end of August and beginning of September. As a larger space became available at the main location, Andi and Evi decided to expand the site. This made the work process logistically easier. The employees were all taken over, as was the product range. READ MORE HERE

Dear Kaiser family,
It was moving and wonderful for me to see and experience you both again after many years and the death of my beloved wife.
The best memories of my winter sports days came flooding back, and I will remain with you in the present and the future.
That's what makes your mixture of professionalism and passion, or in good Bavarian: I like you.
