LOS ANGELES – (June 23, 2009) – Leading fetish retail marketer Stockroom.com won the 2009 XBIZ Award for Web Retailer of the Year. The award was made at a gala ceremony recently at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood at which a crowd of top executives, agents, talent and webmasters gathered to honor the best in the industry.

“I started stockroom.com in 1988. I took it online in 1989. This is our 20th year online. It’s nice to see the adult internet is a little bit bigger now. When I got in, there were like five people. Next year, hopefully, Affiliate Program of the Year,” said Joel Tucker, founder of Stockroom.com in accepting the award.

XBIZ says its annual awards are “a symbol of achievement and excellence dedicated to honoring outstanding individuals, companies, performers and products that play an essential part in the growth and success of adult entertainment.”

Stockroom.com operates out of a 30,000 square foot three-story workshop and retail space on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. The vertically integrated facility combines leather and latex production, shipping, receiving and warehousing with design, executive and sales offices, and a retail boutique that was awarded “Best Fetish Store” by Los Angeles magazine in 2008. The company’s men’s retail site, MaleStockroom.com, was awarded Best Adult Novelties Site in the 2009 Cybersocket Awards.
