2023 President's Message

As another year winds down, we always take time to stop and appreciate the year that was and look forward to what is ahead.   In 2023, we welcomed over 7 million visitors to our stores, and as we head into our 65th year in business, we are eternally grateful for the support and patronage of our customers. Your passion for our brand remains inspiring and helps us continually recommit to ensuring we provide an amazing shopping experience. Our promise remains to always deliver quality products and clean and happy stores for your day at the beach.  We continued our focus on charitable giving this past year through our involvement with Special Olympics Florida, United Way, Children’s Hunger Project and many other important causes in education, safety net and environmental programs.  Ron Jon made a historic contribution to the Brevard Zoo’s new Aquarium Project as part of our ongoing efforts to support our local community.  The aquarium will revolutionize coastal conservation and environmental education. Our team is very proud of the work we do with local charities in all 5 states in which we operate, and we look forward to another year of giving back.

To the Ron Jon Team, you are simply the heart of our company, and your talents and contributions are what truly make us special. 

I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the beach in 2024!  Surf's up!

Cordially, 
Michele Goodwin
