Why "progressive"? We started Stoked because we saw the need for something entirely different in the world of smoke shops. We wanted our customers to actually be stoked about coming to our shop, hanging out with us, learning about products and artists from an knowledgable staff, and leaving the store stoked about the experience. We're in a great space in the historic Black Rock section of Bridgeport. It was an old bait and tackle shop before we gutted it, put in new cement floors, great lighting and filled the room with glass display cases to showcase the work of the best artists in the industry.
