SAN DIEGO – There’s a new place to go in San Diego where it’s OK for you to break something to relieve stress or just have a smashing good time.

The owner said the store is the first and only store in the world where the owners want visitors to break something. They said it’s part fun, part stress-relief. Anything goes at the store, said owner Sarah Lavely.

“You get to come to my house and break my stuff and I won’t give you a hard time about it – I’ll be very supportive of you,” she said. "It’s something you can’t do anywhere else."You buy the breakables at cost of $10 to $45, each with names like sweet memories, lovers lane – a miniature bouquet of its six little shot glasses – and the Smash Shack house special, which includes 15 plates. There’s also a frame that you can break with someone’s picture in it.But, you can’t break anything until you’re protected. The store provides protection for your hair, as well as gloves and a helmet. There are two break rooms, each with rubber walls, to keep the glass from bouncing all over the room. But the owner said sometimes it does come flying back at you and you have to duck.“Even if you’re not stressed, it’s fun,” said John King, a tourist from Los Angeles.For more information, visit the Smash Shack online.
