Maui Nix has expanded again, this time with two new stores in Clearwater Beach, FL. Our new locations allow us the opportunity to serve up some fresh threads and hot new boards to the Clearwater community.
So why Clearwater Beach? We spoke with Maui Nix owner George Karamitos to get the scoop. Here’s what he had to say:
Maui Nix: Why open stores in Clearwater Beach?
George: I have been visiting Clearwater Beach since the late 70’s and have watched the beach evolve through the years. I felt that after all the construction the area had gone through, the area was ready. There is a need for better retail along the beach and hopefully we can help fill it. Plus, we’re stoked to be part of the area’s surf and skate culture!
Maui Nix: How are you getting hooked into the local scene?
George: We are promoting the opening of our shops using many methods. We’ve started with word of mouth to friends and family. You’ll see us on local cable throughout Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. In addition, we plan on supporting local athletes and will work on supporting and planning events geared to skating, surfing and skim. Look for the same high level type of events and sponsorships we’ve done in Daytona, now that we’ve got our feet on the ground.
