This week we sat down with brothers, Will and Schuyler Anderson to talk about their business, Salemtown Board Company and learn what they are doing to make a social impact on the community of North Nashville.

Growing up around board sports in Florida, they were able to implement a love for the sport into a business that ultimately creates jobs and teaches life lessons to young men in the area. Will moved to Nashville for ministry and decided he would be able to make the biggest impact starting a for profit business. After finishing up school, Schuyler moved to Nashville to help Will run the business.

Without realizing Nashville was going to become the “it” city, Will moved into Salemtown and quickly learned how gentrification would soon transform the neighborhood. In finding this out, he was able to create and build Salemtown Board Co. SBC started in a garage in Salemtown, but as the area grew, Will and Schuyler were able to find a larger location in North Nashville where they could build a skate park in the parking lot and a woodworking room.

Salem town Board Co is one of the only manufacturer of skateboards in Tennessee. All the woodwork and painting is done by Will, Schuyler and the young men of North Nashville. They offer classic cruisers, cruiser boards, shortboards and longboards. They also offer a small line of t-shirts, hats and other goods.
