Description:
retail concept started in 250 sqft in '04 expanded gradually over 4 years until Jan' 09 into a brand new 1200 sqft store located in a brand new shopping center in Kona, HI. We are a streetwear clothing & accessories store or what we call an urban/island concept carrying nationally and locally known brands. The selection, 'vibe' ,and promotion of our store has generated great buzz in the community and is establishing our brand name with locals and tourists alike. Some of our promotions have been highly praised such as our all ages b-boy showcase nights that we have received great feedback on from parents and community members. We are searching for help in funding our recent expansion to acquire better equipment including in-store security, website development, as well as helping to fund future youth programs.
