Opening up a skateboard shop can be alot of fun but a scary experience. Below i will point you in the right direction and show you how i got my Skateboard shop off the ground.
1 Locate Wholesale Skateboard Distributors and manufactures. You really want to get cheap skateboards and parts so that when you mark them up you can make up for the shipping expense. I went with www.Skate911.com for my wholesale skateboards. They offer cheap wholesale skateboards and No minimums which is a big deal to us. Skate911.com also offers Free shipping on skateboard shop orders over 120$.
2 Focus on the brands you want to sell. Some of the skateboard brands we sell are element skateboards, flip, girl, birdhouse, hookups, anti hero, enjoi, almost, blind, world industries and many more. For trucks we use thunder, independent, krux, grind king and more. For wheels we use ricta, spitfire, element, satori and more.
3 Your location has to be good for your skateboard shop. If you are opening an online skateboard shop i would check out skate911.com
