Aloha all and mahalos for your kind thoughts and words. We are going through a bit of a transition, but have no fear we have not disappeared!!! It's a long story but House of Tiki was never set up as a profit machine (more for the love of the business and an excuse to wear slippahs to work!) Don't get me wrong, we had a nice run of success and kept the bills paid for 6 years and had alot of fun doing it!!! However, financial reasons caused me to switch things around a little and lower the overhead while we see what the economy does for the mom and pop shops. I'm sure most of you know that these are tough times for the little guys especially in the "niche" business arena. Though I have made it through many other difficult times, so with the tiki Gods willing and as long as the "drive is alive" I will survive!! I am working on some exciting new commercial projects and have a container of really cool stuff coming in soon. We will be back to our roots in the surf industry section of Costa Mesa working out of a warehouse with a showroom for a while. Feel free to contact us at the same number or email me @ [email protected]
Hell maybe we'll even get our website up and running!!! (yeah right!)
A Hui Ho!
