Bote opened its latest retail store in Austin, TX. The new 3,400-square-foot space showcases the brand’s line of paddleboards, kayaks, docks, floats, and accessories and includes a communal space for events and paddle demos.
“Our mission is to stand apart and create a lifestyle experience, and the best way to see what we’re about is to visit one of our retail locations where you can chat with our team, see, touch and feel the product, meet fellow paddlers, and even sit down for a drink,” said Zack Eckert, VP of sales at Bote. “We may be a Florida-based company, but we share common DNA with Austin through art, culture and music, and it was the natural choice for our first retail location outside of Florida. It all started with our founders Corey and Magda wanting to design products that help people get out and enjoy the water, and we’re honored to be growing and connecting with communities.”
With its first store located outside its home base in Florida, the company said that Bote ATX represents the brand’s continued growth and success, with brick-and-mortar locations serving as community hubs for paddlers and water lifestyle enthusiasts.
In March, Bote opened a retail store in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The brand also has flagship stores in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Grayton Beach, and St. Petersburg, FL.
