Sweet Memories Vintage Tees is the ONLY entity that we partner with and have licensed to sell Idora Park Gear. (We are the legal registered owners of most of the trade names associated with Idora Park - including and most especially the name "Idora Park".)
If you see others using these trade names in their stores and on merchandise, they are doing so without our permission or any benefit to The Idora Park Experience. (They've invited us to sue them but we'd rather use our money to see our mission come to fruition than waste it on attorney's fees just to prove their lack of character.)
We are the only ones who have put our money where our mouth is and invested a small fortune and over 30 years to bring the artifacts and memories of Idora Park back home to you.
What little bit we have earned in our store and opening to the public is a drop in the bucket to our investment, but it helps to take some of the sting out of the financial hit. We take our investment seriously and want to continue with our mission to find, preserve and SHARE the artifacts and memories of Idora Park.
To that end, we want to be very clear that when you shop our store, or get your Idora Park gear at Sweet Memories Vintage Tees, you are helping to support that mission. And, when you get your Idora Park gear at other retailers, you're helping to line their pockets.
We thank you for your enduring love of Idora Park and for your support of our mission.
