Advantis Ride

Drove all the way out from Glendale on Father’s Day. Website said they were open until 8… closed. :(

Great little skateshop right across the mall. I’ve bought shoes and shorts from here and they have crazy deals they announce on instagram from time to time. They even special ordered me my shoe size from their LA store so i could pick it up here.
The workers are really chill and friendly. they can follow you around and talk to you a lot but they just want to make sure you’re taken care of. They treat me and my mom super nice when we come in. If you’re not a fan of that maybe this store could give you anxiety lol. They can also get pretty anal about the parking in the front, if you are parking in front, don’t go anywhere else. It says the parking is specifically for the store and it is the only parking they have for their customers, they get upset when people take them for the other establishments in the lot.
Other than that, I would recommend this store and I would recommend being relaxed with the employers as they are fun to talk with and give you their advice on what to buy.

Great service and good deals! Always come here about every 3 weeks! They restock constantly so it’s always new stuff

The ppl working at the store has always been really nice and helpful. I have been going here since 90’s. The 1 star is for the company. I used to follow them on instagram and when they were hiring they asked for photo of thw applicant. That is common practice in Asia but not so ib the US due to discrimination laws in hiring I believe. I may be wrong but that still seem odd to me. Instead they called me an asshole and deleted my comments. I used to like it here because its one of the few shops in Arcadia. No need to call me names for pointing out my opinion.

Was going to come here, but the guy working here was a complete jerk. I had my kid with me and she was hungry, so I parked in front then went to the bakery just down a couple of doors so she wouldn’t have a meltdown and as I was walking away from my car, he came out and yelled at me that it was a 15 minute parking space. YELLED AT ME! I will never go back here. Customer service, people.

Came here to check out their winter line and was surprised how crazy and amazing their deals were!
Employees are really nice, friendly, and helpful!
What else can I say? Great deals and great employees. this place is definitely worth checking out !

I used to come here every so often while I was in high school (a real long time ago) and am surprised to see this place still standing. I have purchased a few skater shoes and shirts here because that was like the cool thing to wear in school.
The employees were always pretty nice and I remember them being rather young, probably in college or so and they look like they are skaters themselves.
Great little place to check out if you are looking for all things skater gear, but they aren’t cheap though.
By the way, this place is in the same plaza as Taipan Bakery. This plaza is also across the street from the plaza with JJ Bakery and Phoenix.

Can I rate negative stars.??

This place is really great for guys!
Today I went in looking for a hat for my friend Karla and the employees really did help. But sometimes a little too much… They are hover-​ers. They will watch everything you pick out and suggest even more. I mean its nice but not for the whole time you are there. They need to back up a little bit. Hahaha Although I appreciate their help… at times! I know they just want to make a sale.
I just want to be left alone when I’m trying to purchase something! Is that so bad to ask for! :(
Other than that everything else is perfect about this place. Clean, small, organized.
They sell tons of shoes. Along with a lot of brands ranging from Huf to Stussy.
I would say go! But I am warning you about how involved they want to be! (:

cool stuff but annoying workers.

I always have a good time when I come in here, and they always have the t-​shirts that I’m looking for. Be aware that they don’t do returns, though. Only exchanges. They won’t even give you a voucher to shop later.

I love the clothes there but they try to «hook it up». The customer service is good but maybe once in a while they can back off so I don’t feel pressured from them thinking I’m going to steal something. Prices are a little over average but I’ve grown up and see that the clothes there isn’t worth buying

Hey this place was a pleasantass surprise.
It was actually pretty cool to just go there to check out shoes. (I ended up coming the next day to buy em).
Vibes: First impression, they always treat you like they know you. Great technique for service. Kindof flatters me to be honest. I’m not really a skater, but I came to get some clothes and shoes. They were altogether pretty chill and wanted to hook me up with discounts. Loved it.
Selection: I’m not really a skater/​shoe guy or whatever, but I just wanted some shoes, shirts, jackets, beanies, etc. I thought the prices were pretty fair and had some nice shoes.
Service: Good service! People try to help me to the best of their abilities. Tina??? I think? Really chill with simply chatting or helping me grab some kicks.
Price: A bit on the expensive side but how can you blame em, it’s retail. The sales are good stuff tho. They save stuff for you too: D
Legit.

I really like the selection of shoes & clothes here. I’m not a skater so I can’t really tell you if they have a good selection of boards & accessories or not. The 1 employee I encountered here, Tina, is dope as hell. I easily spent an hour in here browsing & chatting with her. Not only did I leave in a good mood but also a bag full of new Crooks & Castles gear at a good price. I noticed that Advantis has some pretty good deals if you catch them on a good day, like today I caught buy 1 get 1 25% off. Which led to the new Crooks & Castles wardrobe. Looks like you’ll know where to find me come payday.

This place has been a lame shop for a while. The stuff is generally overpriced, the staff has never been good, and its just a weak shop bottom line. About the only reason to stop in here is if you have some broken bolts and need something quick to keep your trucks on.

This place has horrible customer service, I would call myself a shoe connisieur, I have bought alot of shoes from different places., my brother bought a pair of skate shoes here days ago and they tore a hole., the store would not exchange for a new or different pair. won’t be back.

Been coming here since high school. I come in here to see whats nice and if its really worth it, then I’ll buy it. Sales are good but full price for the stuff here is kinda a pain in the ass. Atmosphere is cool. Employees are helpful but they can kinda get annoying if you just want to look around. I’m not sure how the management is but sometimes I feel as if they’re being way too fake just to sell you stuff which makes me not come back unless I happen to be at the plaza. But yeah, come check this place out if you’re going to camp out for SB’s! (honestly, I’m too old for this now)

This store has a great selection of Nike SB sneakers and gear, especially some of the hard-​to –find sneakers. I bought a pair of Nike Dunk SB Rayguns here a while back. They also have a good selection of The Hundreds tshirts, for less than retail. The employees are super cool and helpful too. Stop by and support your local skate shop!

I too, bought my first skateboard here… I remember it now… it was the Hooters /​Hookups girl with a background of emerald green. Sigh.
Shows what an impulse shopper I am; the kid behind the counter said, «Hey! She’s got a bob and green eyes just like you!» And I was like, «SOLD!» But that was eons ago. The staff seemed pretty alright with the sayings of hello and being around to help the couple of times I’ve swung by. And they also carry (during the summer) tons of sizes in the Reef sandals (my choice for beach going… you can walk over slippery surfaces while carrying your surfboard and not hydroplane and kill yourself like you do in Old Navy chanclas…)

This place is awesome. The staff is always pleasant, helpful and willing to put in that extra effort if needed. My teenage son doesn’t like to wear what everyone else is wearing and at Advantis he can find shirts, jackets and shoes that are unique. There is always a t-​shirt sale going on which is a bonus.
