After shuttering its South Fourth Street location last fall, Nocturnal is getting ready to relaunch. In April, the skate shop will re-open, this time at 533 South Street, in a new space that's directly next door to The Mood and across the street from Retrospect.

Nocturnal first debuted in 2000 by pro skateboarder/X Games gold medalist Kerry Getz, but this time around, Getz will parter with Philly-area skate shop Kinetic. "This new partnership will bring their expertise on all of the bill paying, ordering type stuff so I can put all of my focus on my skateboard and not day to day stuff that comes along with owning a business ," the store owner said in an interview last year.
