skate shop

Wheels and decks

A skate shop is a retail store specializing in skateboards, skateboarding equipment, and related apparel.

Beyond selling decks, trucks, wheels, and shoes, skate shops often serve as community hubs for local skaters: The skate shop sponsors the local team.

The term occasionally extends to stores selling roller skates or ice skates, but skateboarding dominates the usage.
