JV Skateshop celebrates

1st Birthday

Yes, they've been here 1 year. JV Skate Shop started in the outside market in July 2007 to find out if the skateboarders would welcome them to Gilbertsville. "We were the only vendor making money in the heatwave that month," states owner Vickie Emswiler.

The indoor market was a few degrees cooler and offered 24 hour security as well as more traffic. In one month, they outgrew our stand and gladly moved 3 doors down, where they added shelving and more inventory.

Now they carry a full lline of skateboard inventory and yes, they are running out of space...."The kids have made our store a success. They do our advertising for us." says Vickie. The shop is a family run business and has a lot of plans for the future. She adds, "We thank the community for it's support."
