 Hogan's Beach Shop

~ Orlando, Florida ~

In 2007 problematic celebrity Hulk Hogan opened up a memorabilia shop in a former 7-Eleven convivence store. Located at the busy intersection of Sandlake Road and International Drive the building is a pseudo-museum/gift shop hybrid and featured several life-seized recreations of Hogan from various stages of his former semi-successful career. 

These photo were taken right after the Shops opening in Spring 2017 by Timothy Randall. By sharing them I am in no way endorsing the store or Hogan (who I'm not a fan of) but instead sharing some beautifully crafted sculpture work.
