We have had a few ME.GLAD Shirts and Pants up since December. We have connected with them again to put up some Men's and Women's Warm Wear. We shot some interview questions over to one of the founding souls behind the brand, referred to lovingly as "Floyd" to help introduce the new company. As a company with roots in Snowboarding, playful designs and based in Colorado, we are confident that ABSTRACTmall and ME.GLAD will be friends for quite some time.
 Hello ME.GLAD, and welcome to ABSTRACTmall! How long has ME.GLAD been around? Well I guess I could say that we have been an idea and a catchy saying saying since 2007. Just a saying on the hill that turned into something fun and positive. Where is ME.GLAD located and what do you love about this place? We are based out of Summit County, Colorado. My family is here and the community that we love with lots of friends. I love that it is where our roots are grounded in... and that there is a real awesome community here and lots to do... We live in an area that is worth working hard for, to enjoy the mountains and active lifestyle that we love. We know ME.GLAD really loves snowboarding and features a few snowboard athletes through your brand, would you consider yourself a snowboard company or simply a clothing brand that has roots in the sport? Oh for sure a company that has rooted from snowboarders and skiers, but i would like to say that we are a brand for all people. There is that influence that is from what we love to do and that is enjoying the ride. We are a brand or people that want to use what we have and know that there is more we can do with our talents and companies. This generation of young people and riders of all types care for more things out there than ourselves... and that we can use clothing and a family of friends to do something! We hope to grow in this with our ME.GLAD vision to grow our "LiVE.LOVE project". |
Given this snowboarding connection, are there any plans for making technical outerwear for snowsports in the future? There has been talk about making outerwear or some things that could easily be used on the hill but also off the hill as well. Just like ME.GLAD, it is something we want to be on the hill... but off the hill as well. There are some real awesome outerwear companies out there... but maybe we can offer something different and add to the other designs on the hill. ME.GLAD is pretty new on the scene, what has been the biggest challenge getting this company off the ground? We are new... and it was started as a small grass roots/ local thing that more and more people became apart of. But, now we see that we CAN do something and want make that happen, with that comes lots of challenges. We can see that we can do this if we can keep the HEART of it healthy, and that people will get behind something and help it grow! ( I look forward to the story of ME.GLAD and its growth and success) I would say that getting the word out to everyone... seeing this company keep its vision and feel... and taking something LOCAL to GLOBAL so that everyone can be apart of ME.GLAD.  Any shout outs!? My wife first... she has walked beside me through some real hard times of believing in something and putting our family into all of this to see this go somewhere. My Dad and Mom, brother and sister. My TEAM for supporting and pushing us in all the areas that they are in... and believing with me. The ME.GLAD fans and supporters... thank you for the purchases and spreading the word about us and what we are about. Simply throwing a sticker on your car or board or just sneaking it onto a stop sign. Shops- Thank you to all the shops that have taken in ME.GLAD and are behind this vision and company to see it take offand pushing it in their stores. My designers that have helped walk through some rough bumps but that believe in this vision as well. and last but not least... ABSTRACT MALL for pushing out product and getting behind us and sharing this to their people and community, thank you for all the help and this short interview! Peace, Floyd with ME.GLAD brand |
