That’s such a great store, and fun to learn about how it all started. Can’t wait to see more.

Great story! LOVE the Big Planet. We always pay a few visits there.
Sunglasses … ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

We ALWAYS go to Big Planet to get gifts to bring home for friends and family. As well, those flip flops rock. All of us have at least one pair, most of us have two or three.

Nice interview! Though I’m a bit perplexed as to why he’s opening a specialty sunglasses shop, when the already existing one in Mongoose Junction that sold cigars and sunglasses has shut down. Then again, I wouldn’t pay more than $10 for a pair of sunglasses anyway (I lose & break them way too often)… so I guess I’m not the target customer.
Good luck, Pretlow!

Great video and always nice to see another St.John success story, can honestly say have purchased many t-shirts from there including my husband’s all time favorite “If found please return to St. John”. He wears one all the time and even has a back-up one. Good luck with new store Pretlow!

What a cool guy… I love hos shop because of the t-shirts. Now I like it even more because he prints them right in the basement. Nice interview.

Pretlow, it’s so good to see you and that your store is such a success. That looks like such a cool store, Jesse Browns gone tropical. Hopefully someday you will see me walking through your door. Ugh busted…ha

Nice store….wish I could say we would return but, we won’t! I had 1000.00 stolen from me while my bag was in the dressing room…no one seemed to know what happened to it! the employees seemed to be pointing fingers at each other! Pretlow didn’t even know about it! Nice staff!!!!!
