History

Established in 1991.

We are a full service Hobby Store that started in a dinky little «hole in the wall» location in downtown San Clemente, California. (I think our new back room is bigger than the original shop!) After a few years we outgrew that location and moved to a much needed larger location a few miles away in Dana Point on Pacific Coast Highway. We garnered a reputation as a shop with a knowledgeable and professional sales staff. Then, in 1996, the decision was made to branch out to a second store in Poway, centrally located in San Diego County. It was funny, some Poway people said «Good Luck, Hobby stores have never made it in Poway». We proved them wrong and became the dominant Hobby Shop in all of San Diego for over 9 years. So much so that we closed down the Dana Point store and consolidated operations in Poway.
