Blue Tomato opened its first store in 1991 but the story begins before this. Its founder, Gerfried Schuller was crowned European snowboarding champion in 1988. At the time he returned to Schladming and started the Blue tomato snowboard school. He went on to win another 6 Austrian championships and his business rapidly grew. By 1991 he had opened ‘Gerry’s Garage’. It was a small outlet that sold every piece of snowboarding apparel and equipment that you could need. The store grew popular quickly just as snowboarding was also becoming popular. By 1994 it had evolved and the first Blue Tomato store opened. From that moment on the company has continued to grow and is now considered a world leader.
If you are interested in snowboarding then Blue Tomato has everything you could possibly need. Alongside the collection of jackets, pants, and base layers designed for snowboarding, they have an extensive collection of street-style items. These include shirts, hoodies, light jackets, jeans, shorts, and even an extensive collection of swimwear. Of course, Blue Tomato also offers an array of shoes, including sneakers, skateboarding shoes, and even some sandals. Alongside this, they are hats and gloves, as well as an extensive collection of snowboards and skateboards. You’ll even find skiing gear.
Blue Tomato started with a single store, today they have hundreds although the majority of them are located in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. They don’t currently have any store in the UK which means, to see their extensive collection of goods you’ll want to visit the website which has been established since 2000. Of course, if you are ever near one of their stores it is worth a visit.
The website has been established and gradually improved for over twenty years. That makes it easy to see why it is so easy to use today. At the top of the page are the various categories, hover on one to see the subcategories, then click and start shopping. Just make sure you have plenty of time spare, the selection of items is extensive. You should spare some time to look at the rest of the site as well. There is a great guide to buying the perfect snowboarding setup, introductions to the latest gear, and you can even read the guide to starting out in skateboarding, amongst other stories.
If you have taken the time to choose your items from Blue Tomato then you’ll be pleased to discover the delivery options. An express option is available that will get your order to you within just a few days. At the moment the company doesn’t offer a standard service. However, the charge for delivery is reasonable and it’s free if you spend over £90!
Should you have any queries the best idea is to look at the FAQs on the website, there is a surprising amount of information in them. If that doesn’t work select the contact link and you’ll be given four options. You can ring, email, use live chat, or even Skype the team. The choice is entirely yours but, whatever route you take, you’ll find they are friendly and knowledgeable. You’ll get the answer you’re seeking.
