How and when did PLUS begin?
Plus Skateshop started in 1987 under the name Beach Plus. In 2000 the shop changed ownership and the Plus crew all agreed to drop the word Beach from our name. Too many calls for water wings and beach floaties.
How many and who are the gentleman that keep the shop alive on the daily?
There are typically 8 employees on the clock everyday. It takes many a man hour to keep everything rolling smoothly, especially with our website going berzerk. Have to give fantastic customer service in store and great timeliness on getting internet orders to customers as fast and accurately as possible.
How is it having the shop located in a high tourest area?
The shops' location is a great addition to it's success. We have a large amount of tourists that come in the shop and then in-turn order from our website when they return home. Once we have satisfied them on the online side, they usually tell friends about us and they also order.
Who are the guys representing the PLUS team?
We have a great crew, close to home & scattered about the globe. Rob Aaron (Fla), Steve Otero (Fla), Timmy Thompson (Fla), Vincent Santelli (Fla), Andrew Colin (Carlsbad, Ca), James McGuinness (NYC), Pirkka Pollari (Finland), Ryan Watson (La/Fla), Justin Vial (La) Stevie Williams (Al), Thomas Winkle (Fla/Spain).
Is a training facility in the plans for all those team riders?
Yeah, the training facility is in the works at our internet warehouse.
How long has PLUS been supporting the NIKE SB brand?
We have been supporting Nike SB since 2001.
When is the premiere for the next PLUS skate video?
The premiere date has not been set yet. We will get cranking on that project right after the holiday rush, and hopefully, have a premiere in the spring time.Our last video was a huge success and we plan on the new video to be better in every aspect.
Are we gonna see some old mustang skitching footage?
The '66 is chilling in the garage. It gets taken out every once in a while for some street schralpin'.
What is in the future for PLUS?
The future for The Plus is to become bigger in the online game. We are one of the few skateboard run/skateboarder owned online skate shops doing a large amount of volume. It seems the companies are starting to notice the volume we are doing and it feels good to get that notice from the industry after all the years of hardwork.
