Retail - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, United States
In 1982, Robert and Daryl built two houses in Seaside before the master plan for the town was taken beyond the conceptual stage. While Robert was busy planning and designing, Daryl used her entrepreneurial ingenuity to create a buzz in this remote new town to spur interest in buying real estate. She started simply with a Saturday market. Scouring the local area for straight-off-the-boat shrimp, fresh-baked bread, homegrown tomatoes, and watermelons, Daryl displayed her wares on wooden picnic tables under canvas umbrellas on the beachside of town."In the beginning, our business was building a town in a very remote area of the Gulf Coast of Florida. After taking a few basic drafting courses at the local college I crafted the first SEASIDE® tee. The white cotton t-shirt with the simple graphic, SEASIDE® became the uniform for the first architects, pioneering home-builders, and early locals who came together to make the vision of Seaside a reality. Since 1981 the SEASIDE® t-shirt has become a statement of our shared search for a simple, beautiful life - and the legacy of our Town."- co-founder of Seaside, Daryl DavisTo experience Seaside...is more than just buying some t-shirts. Being a part of the Seaside family is a feeling. It's a camaraderie that you share something in common with a complete stranger. It's an experience of your best family memories. It's enjoying the Summer concerts in the Amphitheater and watching fireworks over the Gulf of Mexico. It is riding your bike for all of your daily errands.It is a simple, beautiful life.
