evo Seattle Grand Opening Dance Party
evo to celebrate in newly relocated evo Seattle Store on November 30, 2012
SEATTLE, Wash (November 21, 2012) – After 11 years of growth through some of the most innovative decisions and challenging times in the action sports industry, Seattle-based Evolución Innovations (evo) has become a rare entity in the retail sector through a successfully backwards business model – first online, then brick-and-mortar, and most recently print. On November 30th, 2012, evo will host business and community partners, family, friends and customers to a one of a kind Dance Party in Seattle to celebrate the relocation of its flagship store.
Founded in 2001 at a midpoint in his college career, Bryce Phillips started evo with a set of core values dubbed the “Great Eight,” focusing on credibility, authenticity, respect and above all “evolución”. With the help of evo’s diverse, yet tightly knit staff combined with a counter-tradition business model, Phillips and the shop have grown from two employees in 2001 to more than 150 today. evo is no ordinary retailer, as it hosts everything from musical events to art shows, movie premiers, and off-site events, and has a knack for collaborating inside and outside of the industry to pull together a creative and passionate culture of individuals who are enthusiastic about both the sports and the lifestyle.
“Passion for building community is a driving force; both on a national level and locally in Seattle,” said Phillips. “We are excited about the opportunity to become community anchors in urban settings with diverse groups of people who share common interests. Music events, movie premiers, art exhibitions, benefits to help children in need, partnerships and simply providing a great place in a central location are all ways that we work to build and strengthen community.”
evo’s Grand Opening Dance Party will be held in the recently relocated evo Seattle. Located 3500 Stone Way N Seattle, WA 98109 evo’s new store is part Fremont Collective building. Events will include a dance party on multiple floors, ProBooth, custom t-shirts by Nike and a raffle for custom skate decks to benefit The Service Board, a youth focused non-profit that engages kids through skateboard and snowboard mentorships, another continuing focus for evo.
The musical headliner will be none other than Whistler’s own Mat the Alien. Mat spun for our Rossignol 7 Deadly Sins Party 5 years ago and we’ve be waiting for another monumental event to bring him back to evo for another legendary dance party pumping through our new Skullcandy sound system.
Sponsors will include Ride, Oakley, K2 Skis & K2 Snowboard, Nike, Smith, Burton, Armada, Skullcandy, Icicle Brewing and more.
Tickets are priced at $5 with 100% going to The Service Board. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance, we’ll have limited tickets at the door. For advanced tickets, click here. You will be able to pick your advanced tickets up ahead of time at evo Seattle starting Wed Nov 28th, or Will Call at the door with ID.
