Zumiez, a specialty apparel store that provides gear and clothing for skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing, opened last weekend in Hilo’s Prince Kuhio Plaza.
“We’re a one-stop shop for skateboard enthusiasts,” said assistant store manager Tyler Piers.
“There’s nothing else like it in terms of experience,” added Piers. “It’s not just that we carry all the brands, we are all about customer service.”
Located in the former Time Fix Jewelry store, Piers said the new Zumiez store officially opened this past Saturday, July 27.
