Custom Merch for Skate and Surf Shops in St. Petersburg, FL
Merch Mob makes house-brand tees, hoodies and crewnecks, and hats and beanies for skate and surf shops in St. Petersburg, FL, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to St. Petersburg. Just 16% of the people in St. Petersburg are under 18, well below the US figure of 22% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so build the house line around adult fits and keep youth sizes to a few pieces.

What St. Petersburg's weather means for skate and surf shops
August averages a high of 90°F and about 47 inches of rain fall a year in St. Petersburg, so quick-drying shorts, tanks and light tees sell in every season. Even January, the coolest month, averages a high of 69°F, so a light hoodie or long sleeve covers winter, and tees and caps stay at the front. Highs reach a 70°F average or warmer from February to December, so restock tees and caps before that stretch and treat the rest of the year as long-sleeve season. August is the wettest month, with about 8.4 inches of rain, so sessions get washed out and a release party or contest is better dated for a drier month.
