History

Established in 2014.

For the past 17 years, Jimmy Quintana honed his retail skills as the manager and buyer at Laguna Surf and Sport. Earlier this year, Quintana– driven by his roots in skateboarding– started mulling over the idea of a lifestyle shop that caters to youth as well as adults. In January, The Fort & The Clubhouse took shape: «a space where brands of all sizes can receive the exposure they deserve,» according to Quintana.

«Being a small family business, we pride ourselves in the authentic relationships we have with our vendors by supporting brands that not only have strong hard goods, but impressive soft goods as well,» says Quintana. «We want our store to represent the often under-​exposed elements of these multifaceted brands. We saw the opportunity to weave our well-​known, core brands in with smaller independent ones for a unique shopping experience.»
