HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (Monday, September 8, 2003)
Ñ West Coast Trends, Inc., makers of the Club Glove, the Number One travel bag
in golf, today announced that it has recorded 13 consecutive years of
profitability and growth.
West Coast Trends, Inc,
whose revenue is listed between $10 and $20 million, has maintained a steady
history of profitability and growth despite a continued sluggish market in the
golf and travel industries. After
several consecutive years of 20%+ growth, the tragic events of 9/11
occurred. Despite the downturn in
travel, the company still managed to grow by 6% during Fiscal Year 2001, which
ended June 30, 2002.
According to Jeff Herold,
President, West Coast Trends, Inc., ÒWeÕre back on track to regain the growth
we had prior to 9/11. We have
rebounded to a 19% growth already and expect to hit higher numbers very soon.Ó
All West Coast Trends, Inc.
products are designed with function and durability in mind. While the company focused primarily on
travel bags and headcovers early on, it has successfully expanded its product
line. ÒThe recent introduction of
the Aficionado II and Collegiate II Stand Bags and FCO Luxury Cart Bag has had
a significant effect on maintaining our growth over the past year and a half,Ó
said Herold.
ÒIt doesnÕt hurt that The
Last Bag is the number one bag on all U.S. Tours or that The Last Bag and
Rolling Duffle are also the luggage of choice for the last three Ryder Cup
teams and will be used by the upcoming Ryder Cup team,Ó added Herold.
