Plaza Demolition – Catalyst NOT CLOSING

To our Customers:

News has been spreading quickly that the University Plaza is being demolished in the near future and that all the businesses are having to vacate in a short period of time. USSCatalyst is NOT closing in 2 weeks despite what the media is saying. Yes, the plaza is being demolished in due time. We do plan to relocate, however this will not take place until more towards the end of the year.

If you think that after 20 years of being active and growing to be Central FL’s largest surf & skate source we would just disappear, think twice.  USSCatalyst is much more than space in a run down plaza.  We have always been about the best balance of selection, price, and especially service, living what we do.  We are owned & operated by people who grew up just like our customers, surfing, skating, partying…  Where most shops are run from a West Coast corporate headquarters overseeing hundreds of stores, we continue to make our own decisions.  Whether you shop core or corporate; we appreciate every day we can serve our customers and do what we LOVE.  We look forward to many years to come!”
