Former Volcom Berkeley store manager Damian Kordick cut right to the bone when asked by the Daily Californian why the store on Telegraph Avenue was closing on Wednesday, June 27, 2012.
Store manager Damian Kordick said the store closed due to a lack of sales. . . “Rent for all the businesses on Telegraph is extremely high,” Kordick said. . . Not long ago, Kordick’s finance team decided it would be best not to resign the store’s lease, both for Volcom and for Berkeley customers.
He also pointed out that clothing stores were “kind of saturated in the Berkeley area, what with Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, different department stores in the city.” Well, at least Volcom still has Pac Sun, right?

Total bummer, Damian was super cool and was always such a big supporter of the local skate scene and was always stoked to carry our magazine. The store and Damian will be missed.
