Patagonia has opened its second store in Australia at Burleigh Heads, Queensland. The Burleigh store, compliments Patagonia’s first flagship store in Torquay which opened in 2009. The Burleigh store will operate under licence with former Honolua brand manager Guy Walker. Walker says that having worked in the surf industry in various ways since he was 11- years old, he feels genuinely excited about the opportunity. “I can confidently stand behind the counter and align with the company, its ethos and its products,” says Walker. “Patagonia have a very different outlook on business that’s really refreshing.” The new store is located at 15 James St, Burleigh Heads. Walker says the store will host open nights with guest speakers like 8 x Molokai to Oahu Paddleboard Race Winner, Jamie Mitchell and others.
