STORE AROUND THE CORNER: Longboat Resort Wear

Longboat Resort Wear is a true family business.

It has been owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Mahesh and Harvinder Mirchandani since February 1989, when the couple opened up their store in the Centre Shops. The store carries something for everyone in the family with resort, sports wear and beach wear for men, women and children, along with small gift items. Popular brands include Koret and Cotton Seed.

When you walk through the doors of Longboat Resort Wear, you’ll probably be greeted by Skippy, the Mirchandanis’ toy poodle. One more thing you can count on?

Lots of bargains.

“These days, people want everything on sale,” Harvinder Mirchandani said.
