18 Years of ATBShop
So 18 years have flown by since we set up ATBShop back in 2000! We started off running our on-line store from just a bedroom and then moved into number 19 Faringdon road, which was just a small lock up shop. We later rented more of the building as we grew before moving down the road and into number 9 Faringdon Road; a much bigger 3 story property. I wish people had seen us move the shop that night in borrowed Morrisons super market trolleys. Yes that building served us well but we out grew it so fast!
When the scooter boom hit and we invested all our money into a big warehouse with a fancy new skate park! It was a massive risk but we knew the people of Swindon deserved a descent skate park. Some how 6 years has flown by since owning the Skate Warehouse and it was only after one that we decided to merge the Snow, Kite, Wake shop and skate park inside one building. We’ve also built a mini ramp out the back extending the park to make use of the summer days riding in the garden.
So with all of this happening we thought it only fitting to celebrate this massive mile stone and we would love for you to join in!
So whats happening on the day and what’s included in your ticket price for free?!
RePerformance Supe Cars
