Mankind is known as “Your Lifestyle Boutique” and does not fail to deliver. Opened in 2008, Mankind is an adult outlet specializing in every conceivable lifestyle item you could ever want. Owner Keith Miller opened the Boutique in 2008 and has created a successful and inclusive atmosphere that has drawn in those of all orientations.
“My goal was to create more than just an adult store; it is a lifestyle Boutique for anyone, gay or hetero. Whether they come for clothing or naughty items, we are a one stop shop,” said Miller.
With a wide range of clothing, footwear, leather and other items Mankind has earned a reputation in San Diego for excellent customer service and variety. Situated in a newly remodeled location, Mankind boasts three floors housing items that range from innocent, to that something that’s just a little bit naughtier. Further distinguishing itself from other businesses, Miller included on the third floor an area that can be reserved to host meetings, screen films, or simply socialize.
“It’s an area where different groups can host meetings or screen films. It’s meant to attract every lifestyle you can imagine and I’m really excited about the expansion,” said Miller.
Mankind bases its success on excellent customer service and creating an appropriate place for anyone to walk in and find something they will enjoy.
“I try to put myself in the customer’s position. ‘What would I like to see or buy when I walk in?’ And I think keeping it appropriate plays a factor too. We keep pride items and great selections on the lower floors and get into the naughtier items on the upper levels,” states Miller.
With items complimenting every lifestyle, no matter how diverse, Mankind is a store that always puts its customers first. It is a unique store, well laid out in a great location with a reputation that continues to grow. It’s well worth a visit.
