While skate shops continue to disappear, Pro Skateboard Shop is still holding it down after 38 years in business.
Running an independent skate shop for that long is no easy task. Rising rent, a tough economy and competition from corporate stores have made things harder for smaller shops, yet Pro Skateboard Shop has continued serving local skaters through it all.
The shop recently shared the news on social media, thanking everyone who has supported them throughout the years.
“We’re still at it. Today marks 38 years in business. Forever stoked on all the years. Thank you all for your continued support
”
Thirty eight years is a long time in skateboarding.
Generations of skaters have walked through the doors, picked up boards and gear, and kept coming back.
For an independent shop to still be around after nearly four decades says a lot about the connection it has built with its community.
