RYU expands connections in fitness community
with new retail store
VANCOUVER, Nov. 28, 2016 /CNW/ - Today, RYU Apparel Inc.
(TSX VENTURE: RYU & Frankfurt Stock Exchange: RYA),
creator of "tailored innovation for the urban athlete", is pleased
to announce the official opening of its second retail location.
Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver's popular and high traffic shopping
district, RYU Apparel's second store is now open at 805 Thurlow
Street at the corner of Robson. The 1,100 square foot retail space
was designed by award-winning architect Tony Robins with the same industrial, yet modern
aesthetic as RYU's flagship store in Kitsilano.
This second store comes after a successful first year in
business, having been recognized as a top athletic apparel "brand
name to know" by the Globe and Mail, receiving the WGSN's Futures
Awards in London for Best Store,
and being included in Goop's online and pop-up shop.
"This has been an exciting year for us," said Marcello Leone, CEO for RYU. "After the
successful launch of our brand and first retail location last
November, we have received so much support from our local fitness
and health community. We are very excited to continue building
these relationships through the opening of our second
location."
RYU is proceeding with the opening of two more store locations
in the lower mainland and its first Eastern Canadian store in
Toronto which it plans to open
within the next six months.
