ESSENCE OF THE SHOP
Homies is our vision of the skateboarding industry. Homies is more than just a store; it's a return to the roots of service and community involvement. We're deeply invested every day in the sports industry, but especially in our region. It's a service that's too often overlooked in Saguenay: unparalleled product knowledge, exclusive merchandise, a unique shopping atmosphere, unforgettable parties, and a web platform that reflects our expertise.
Underground Family: At Homies, our counter-culture approach doesn't just mean exclusivity, but rather a welcoming community where riders of all kinds come together. We're a family, united by our love of riding and our rebellious spirit.
Authentic Community Engagement: Our commitment to the community goes beyond appearances. We actively support local projects, alternative events, and the emerging talent that bring our scene to life. By choosing Homies, you're also supporting the culture that drives us.
Expertise: Our team is made up of passionate people who understand the very essence of the snow and skate scene. With in-depth knowledge of the latest trends and emerging technologies, we offer you more than just equipment – we share a philosophy.
Unique Products: Homies offers a curated selection of products that reflect the authenticity and individuality of snow, skate, and surf culture. From independent brands to alternative designs, our store is a true playground for free spirits.

The Homies Adventure
Homies was born in 2010 in Chicoutimi, driven by Alexandre Gagnon's vision: to build a skate shop rooted in the community and "grassroots" service. On July 19, 2010, the store welcomed its first customers at 175, Boulevard Barrette — the first headquarters of an adventure that would grow without betraying its essence. From the start, Homies positioned itself as a leading skate & snow destination in Saguenay, energizing the local scene through events, a team of riders, and collaborations. Even today, the brand proudly claims its 2010 roots and its role as a driving force for board culture in the region.
The Homies brand
The in-house brand Homies acts as the creative heart of the store: a showcase of the identity, style, and originality that the boutique wants to convey. Under the artistic direction of Like Phil Couture, each Homies piece is conceived and designed to embody the spirit, experience, and values of our community. The in-house brand strengthens the store's unique identity, true to its "grassroots" mission, while offering customers exclusive items found nowhere else. With Homies, the store doesn't just sell products—it cultivates a culture, a universe, an authentic signature.
