[edit] Facilities

There are several Ron Jon Surf Shops in the United States:

The Original, Ship Bottom, New Jersey: The original Ron Jon Surf Shop was opened on Long Beach Island at the Jersey Shore in 1961. It is currently in its third building, a four-story shop near its original location.
One of a Kind, Cocoa Beach, Florida: Billed as the largest surf shop in the world, it was first opened on Canaveral Pier in 1963. At the time, Cocoa Beach was growing in popularity due to the space race, and Ron Jon took advantage. Eventually, the corporate headquarters of Ron Jon was relocated to Cocoa Beach. One of a Kind is also in its third building, on the corner of A1A and SR 520 in Cocoa Beach.
