Boise's Beloved Board Shop To Close Doors After Unexpected Decision by Landlord

The BoardRoom is typically open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day except for Saturday, when it’s open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The BoardRoom co-posted an Instagram post with Slush, The Magazine to announce the news. The shop was founded in 1995 at the corner of 30^th and State Streets. It was open seasonally until 1997, according to Boise Dev, when it then remained open year-round. A secondary location in McCall was opened in 2017, but has also closed.

The social media accounts from other local boardshops like Truckee Boardhouse, Satellite Boardshop, and Damage Duluth all commented on the post, as did the official Nitro Snowboards account.

“Thank you for everything you and the crew have done over the last 30 years for the community,” it said.

This is at least the second boardshop in the U.S. that’s announced a closure in the last six months. The Garden, which has been a staple of the western Massachusetts community, announced in April that it was up for sale after 24 years. Like The BoardRoom, The Garden was the only board sports specific shop in the region.

As The BoardRoom starts to offload inventory, owner Chris Heise encouraged members of the community to come in and say goodbye.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the friendships, community, and support we’ve built together over the past three decades. Our customers, employees, and partners have become extended family — and we feel deeply honored to have shared so many unforgettable moments with you,” he wrote. “We invite you to stop by, say hello, throw a high five, grab some amazing storewide deals, and reminisce with us about the good ole days. We’d love to see you.”
