n April 1996, a third store was opened near the downtown area
on 9th Avenue in Pensacola. This store, carried the same items
as the original store on the Quietwater Beach Boardwalk. In
addition, this location also served as the main office and warehouse
for the Go Fish Company.
n June 1998, the very successful Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry
Co. was sold to the current owners who have operated it in the
same fashion as it has been operated for the previous ten years.
s we entered the new millennium, Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry
Co. was presented with an opportunity to open a new store on
Perdido Key, Florida. Realizing that we had number of customers
who live on Perdido Key as well as Orange Beach, Gulf Shores,
and Foley, and as far away as Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort,
and Mobile, we decided to expand our lines to the westernmost
part of the Florida coast. After some lengthy remodeling, on
May 26, 2000, Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry Co. opened its
doors for business on Perdido Key, one mile east of the Florida/Alabama
state line. The new store offers the same merchandise as is
offered in both stores on the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk with
the addition of teakwood furniture. Functional pieces such as
chairs, benches, accent tables, armoires, etc. are available
at the Go Fish store on Perdido Key.
n
May, 2003, the owners of Go Fish traveled to Italy in order
to expand it's line of merchandise. The stores now carry an
extensive line of hand-made Italian ceramics imported directly
from Palermo, Sicily. The brightly colored collection consists
of ceramic and iron patio furniture, planters, large vases and
platters, and a variety of clocks, bowls, and other functional
pieces. Additionally, a visit to Florence resulted in the purchase
of high-quality Italian leather handbags, wallets, briefcases,
physician's bags, and jewelry boxes. The craftsmanship of these
leather items cannot be equaled and will last for years.
nother
product line we are excited about is our Kiss Me in the Garden
Fragrances. We have selected the very mild, clean-scented Sea
Garden. These products, which carry the Go Fish Clothing &
Jewelry Co. name, became so popular in our stores that we couldn't
keep the shelves stocked. Items such as body mist, hand lotion,
bar soap, potpourri, body lotion, hand and foot scrub, and more
are now available through our website.
nother
opportunity presented itself in 2003 and the Go Fish Company
decided to relocate its 9th Avenue store to the Cordova Mall
area. On November 28, 2003, Go Fish Clothing & Jewelry Co.
opened for business on Bayou Boulevard behind Chick-Fil-A in
the Cordova Crossings strip shopping center. Cordova Crossings
is situated directly across the parking lot from Dillards in
Cordova Mall. This move will be more convenient for our customers
in that area of town. Also in November, 2003, the main office
and warehouse for the Go Fish Company were relocated to Fairfield
Drive.
