We started as Shades Unlimited, a 350 square foot store, located at the bottom of Main Street and founded in 1981.  By 2007, we realized we needed more space to carry all the options that we wanted to offer.  In February 2008, we opened Shades Of The Bay to expand our selection of sunglasses and flip-flops.
