Location and Directions
First-time customers often complain it is hard to find SBK although they don't seem to have any problems coming back to us after their initial visit. It is only a few blocks from Exit 166 of I-5 North or South. Because of one-way streets, however, it may be tricky to come from I-5 North.
We will try to do our best to give you directions as follows, but if you get lost, remember we are on Miner Ave between Stewart St and Howell St. We are behind 24 Hour Fitness, which is at the corner of Stewart St and Yale Ave.
Yahoo! Map gives you a map and directions to SBK. Their directions may be different from ours, but we believe ours are the easiest. In either way, if you follow the directions, you should be able to arrive at SBK without any trouble.
