It all started in 1994 – a small army shop in city center, no more that 30 square meters. A few months later we also started selling some of the oldest polish skate apparel – like “Lurys Denim”. Quickly the shop became a “mecca” of local skaters. It was time when every skateboarder went to Berlin to buy hardware and shoes. So we started importing it to Poland. The demand was rising all the time. It meant that we have to expand the shop. And to support local skateboarding as much as possible.
Right now we have about 600sq. meters and two separate entrances from the main street. Every skate event that has been in Szczecin – was our event. Lots of jams, skate cups and even tours. And every event is bigger and better than the previous one. We also have a team of skateboarders, which feature Artur “Kaczor” Wojtania – who is an icon of the first and oldest skateboarding generation in Poland.
In the meantime – about 2001 – the online project, called andegrand.pl has started. It evolved to “skate-europe.com” – we try to be the biggest European online skate shop.
As we can not expand our shop even more (no more space around!) – we started in some new places. 2009 was the year when “Platinum – premium lifestyle shop” was founded. It features brands like Quiksilver, Billabong, Volcom and Vans. But it’s only lifestyle. Andegrand is still the best – and really the only place to get skate hardware in Szczecin. Hope to see you there.
