and live on Freeview channel 276
Saltrock opens in The Beacon tomorrow (Saturday, October 1) opposite Jack Wills. It’s a surfing brand that came from North Devon in the 1980s selling products for outdoor activities. The story started with two surfing brothers who came to England from South Africa. They started printing surf-inspired t-shirts in Cornwall and sold them out of the back of their car – Saltrock was born. Since then, the business has grown to more than 60 stores, an online site, and 100 wholesale accounts. This store is the 17th new site for Saltrock this year. A spokesperson for the brands says the products are ‘durable, wearable, practical, and comfortable, with bold graphics with attitude’.
Simon Lucas, Saltrock’s head of retail, said: “We are really excited about bringing Saltrock to The Beacon in Eastbourne, it is a perfect match for our brand heritage. We have a strong customer presence across the South East coast and when we were presented with this opportunity, in one of Sussex’s key shopping destinations, we jumped at the chance.”
