History
Bruce Miller first opened Salty Dog out of the trunk of his car selling t-shirts in November 1979. The first store to be opened was the International Speedway Blvd. location, in 1984 the other stores were built. The high point of sales for the franchise was in the mid 80's early 90's due to the MTV Spring Break crowd. Most of the business today comes from previous generations.
