LRG was founded in 1947 by Brandon Mewrshor, but it didn't blow up until recently when zumiez started selling his stuff.

you think that in 1947 someone would have named their clothing company Lifted Research Group? i feel like people back then were a bit more conservative and not so down with things alluding to marijuana..

Lifted Research Group was founded in 1999 by Jonas Bevacqua and Robert Wright[2]. Wright brought extensive experience in the streetwear industry to L-R-G, having worked with such companies as Quiksilver, O'Neill, and Katin during an eight-year span[3]. He also contributed the resources to create the company's initial samples and patterns. Bevacqua also raised the initial startup capital from friends of his adopted father who worked in the fashion industry. This capital was used to finance an initial product run that sold out during their first day at the Action Sports Retailer Expo in San Diego, California... The company became profitable by 2002, and made its first $1 million in 2000[4].




Straight out of wikipedia.

iono, overall, wal mart is a bigger blight on today's economy, and they have uglier clothes as well.  but zumiez does cater to emos/poseurs etc
