Known for their outerwear, performance wear and modern classics, customers can find their favorite brands including Costa, Vineyard Vines, TOMS, Olukai, Yeti, Patagonia, North Face, Kuhl, Southern Marsh, Tommy Bahama, and Southern Shirt, among others. “We are beyond thrilled to enter the Daytona Beach market,” said Gary Wakstein, Owner, Hy’s Toggery. “I have had my eye on this destination for many years and ONE DAYTONA is ideal with its close proximity to the Speedway and unique environment being created centered on enjoyment and excellence. Our national brands will resonate with residents and visitors who are fans of an active outdoor lifestyle.” Also located below The DAYTONA will be Kilwins Confections.
