New Flagship Burton/Al Merrick store in L.A.

Burton_LA_Store_Opening

I’m not ashamed to say I love shopping. I get a lot of shit for it but as Brodie Bruce says in Mall Rats… “I love the smell of commerce in the morning.” So, when I came across this article this morning on Transworld, it had me booking my trip. Burton and Al Merrick have opened a massive flagship store in L.A. The store features two board halls, a roof top mini ramp and a massive 20 foot tree trunk made from poured concrete. The stores opening happened last night with lots of team riders, celebrities and executives there for the party which saw Trouble Andrews get a set in and founding member of Cypress Hill, DJ Muggs, giving the audience something to dance to. You can check the full article here, or hit the Burton site for a load of photos!
