Business that doesn't meet our notability standards, WP:CORP. Number of stores does not confer notability (there are similar surf shop chains all up and down the Gulf Coast). NawlinWiki (talk) 16:22, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Plenty of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. The number of stores certainly contribute to notability. And this is not just another surf shop chain. It's been covered by Frommers as a tourist destination for including an indoor surfing facility at its Clearwater Beach store, its been covered for its role in redevelopment of Clearwater Beach, its been covered for trademark disputes and advertising, its been covered in relation to its purchase and demolition of a historic dinner club in Biloxi, its been noted in relation to a notable model/ stripper etc. Candleabracadabra (talk) 11:34, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a story from a couple weeks ago about the company's partnership with Guy Harvey. Not sure what the issue is here, plenty of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources as I noted above. Candleabracadabra (talk) 13:39, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
