Meet Our Team & the Carlstrom Family

As a local, family-owned Chicago sports store since 1990, the Wrigleyville Sports team of employees is the heart of the store! We are a group of Chicago sports fans, who love to help other fans find the latest licensed Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox apparel and memorabilia. You can't beat working across the street from Wrigley Field, and hearing the roar of the crowd on a game day!

The Carlstrom family has enjoyed over 30 years across the street from Wrigley Field. Originally, the store was owned and run by Arnie and Rexene Carlstrom, along with help from their son, Trey. It was originally called Super Star Sports. In 1996, they changed the name to Wrigleyville Sports, and launched the www.wrigleyvillesports.com website. As Arnie and Rexene enjoy their retirement, Trey Carlstrom now runs the business, along with the help of his sons, Devin and Colin. 

Trey C.

Trey Carlstrom is the Business Owner at Wrigleyville Sports and has witnessed just about all the stages this company has gone through! His parents, Arnie and Rexene Carlstrom, were the founders of Star Promotions and first got their hands on the Wrigleyville Sports retail space in 1990. Trey has been a member of the Wrigleyville community ever since and has been key to growing this store into what we know and love it as today. He is extremely hands-on in all aspects of Wrigleyville Sports and you can often find him helping customers by the hat wall on game days!

Devin C.

Devin has been a full time Wrigleyville Sports employee since 2020, but he has been around much longer than that! As a member of the Carlstrom family, he has been helping around the store and starring in our commercials ever since he was a kid. He is currently the manager of our store across from Wrigley Field, and is one of the most familiar faces at our store! During his free time, Devin coaches youth hockey and cheers on the Blackhawks.

Colin C.

Colin is a Sales Supervisor at Wrigleyville Sports, but has been around the store for as long as he can remember! He is the youngest member of the Carlstrom family and spent a good amount of his childhood running around Wrigleyville Sports and starring in company commercials. Being surrounded by Chicago sports fans throughout his life has naturally made him a fan himself - especially of the Chicago Blackhawks and Cubs. He also loves playing hockey and golf, which you can often find him doing on his days off!
