Out Of The Garage

Bringing new life to the space at 1828 E. Broadway, entrepreneurs Johnny Phan and Jaiden Do opened the doors of Forever Ashbury last month between Cherry and Hermosa avenues.

Forever Ashbury, a Long Beach-based clothing, skateboard and accessory brand that started in the business owners’ garage, has a storefront for the first time since it was created five years ago.

“We have built a really beautiful store from the ground up,” Phan said. “We have completely remodeled this store, building everything ourselves. Business so far has been amazing – we are building a strong core following with the local skateboarders and people who are interested in this type of fashion.”
Forever Ashbury’s trademark color is purple, and the company’s distinct logo can be found adorning T-shirts, sweaters, hats, shoes, skateboards and other products.

“We are definitely not a typical skate shop or a typical boutique,” Phan said. “We put our own style and creativity into this.”

For details about Forever Ashbury, which has a detailed website and regularly update blog written by the store’s owners, visit www.foreverashbury.com or call (562) 432-8300. The store is open daily.

Saturday, December 17th marks the day of priceless memories for us. This was the day of our ‘Private Grand Opening Party’. All of our blood, sweat, tears, heart & soul went into making our store a reality. We finally got a chance to unveil it to our friends & family. The night was a complete success filled with smiles, laughter & just all around good vibes. We want to thank our family & friends from the bottom of our heart for the love and continued support. We really couldn’t do it without you.

A special shout out goes to our friends over at Marquez de Valencia for blessing us with their premium tequila all night long. We would also like to thank Matt Simmerman from Dubtree for the amazing pictures once again, you’re awesome man!

Finally we have Nate Sok of 24 Karat Pictures for filming this memorable occasion. Thank you for all your hard work Nat. The video is amazing.

If Forever Ashbury was paid with love, we would be the richest guys in the world. Enjoy the video. (Part 1 of 2)

Johnny Ashbury opening the door to the public for the first time on December 19th. This is a picture that will always be near and dear to us. 50 years from now we can look back and see how far we have come. Thank you to all who support our brand. We are truly are living a dream.

Saturday, December 17th marks the day of priceless memories for us. This was the day of our ‘Private Grand Opening Party’. All of our blood, sweat, tears, heart & soul went into making our store a reality. We finally got a chance to unveil it to our friends & family. Here are just a few teaser pre-party photos that our friends from Ganga Skateboards took for us. We have plenty more photos from that incredible night and a lot more people to thank. So stay tuned you don’t want to miss it.

This picture captures the daily chaos of what we’ve been doing everyday. Imagine the air being so thick with dust you can’t even open your eyes. Imagine electric saws screeching so loud your head hurts. Imagine coming home looking like a saw dust covered snow man for the last 4 months. Yeah this has been our reality for a while now. But the truth is we wouldn’t change it for the world. We’ve been putting our all into the construction of our store. We could have easily just bought some furniture off Craigslist or Ikea and put together a store in a couple of weeks. But no, we decided to fully custom make our store to give everyone a glimpse of what we are about. I’m proud of what we have done so far, but the best part is that this journey is just beginning. Much love.

-Forever Ashbury.

Yes its official! We’re opening our first Forever Ashbury store. We promised you awhile back that everything that you’ve seen from us so far was just the tip of the iceberg. We weren’t lying. This is a true milestone for us. Words could not describe the blood, sweat, and tears we have been putting in to make this dream a reality. Cheers to the beginning of a beautiful journey. S/O to Matt from Dubtree for the amazing photos.

P.S. Grand Opening & Grand Opening party to be announced very soon.

We’re so proud of our first Forever Ashbury. model Stephanie Valencia! She was on last season’s “Survivor – Redemption Island” and while at an event, some of her fans showed up with our pictures to have her autograph them. We wish her continued success, she’s a hard worker and deserves it!

We took a little break Saturday afternoon to stop by the Queen Mary down the beach to check out all the amazing cars at the annual Japanese Classic Car Show. This year’s weather was gloomy but that didn’t stop everyone from having a great show. This time they included a classic motorcycle section (message Quy and tell him how stupid he is for selling his 1974 Cafe race bike). Year after year, these are one of the events that we just can’t seem to miss. So nostalgic, so classic, so much soul.
