The Leader in Hands-Free Footwear Plans New
Store Openings in Mall of America and King of Prussia as Part of the Brand's
Ambitious Retail Expansion
SALT
LAKE CITY, May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
industry leader in hands-free shoe innovation, Kizik, will open its
second U.S. store at Mall of America on May
17th, with an opening at the King
of Prussia a Simon Center, to follow on June 14th as part of the brand's new
brick-and-mortar retail expansion strategy.
Kizik's one-of-a-kind experiential retail concept comes to life
in Mall of America, the largest mall in the U.S. and a shopping hub
for locals and international travelers alike. Located in the Mall's
West Market, the store invites shoppers to experience first-hand
the undeniable difference of Kizik's proprietary technologies that
spark the freedom to move with uninterrupted momentum.
Following Mall of America, Kizik is set to debut in King of Prussia, doubling down on the brand's
aggressive phase of retail expansion with doors opening on
June 14th, carrying the experiential
design concept to the Pennsylvania
market. As the brand aims to target iconic, high-traffic shopping
destinations, the King of Prussia
opening marks the first permanent East Coast footprint for Kizik
shoppers to experience the brand's magic at a physical location,
rather than what used to be only online.
Kizik is leading a new footwear movement through their
innovative lifestyle shoes for every aesthetic and every
individual, spanning from functional everyday sneakers to more
fashion-forward, still frictionless silhouettes. The brand's
growing collection of hands-free footwear leverages more than 200
pending and granted patents, enabling consumers to go, do, see and
explore unencumbered by their shoes. Kizik is poised for continued
fast-paced growth into new distribution channels, including
additional company-owned retail stores, U.S. wholesale, and
international markets.
"Mall of America and King of
Prussia are iconic shopping destinations," says Kizik CEO
Monte Deere. "When we observed the
incredible consumer reception of our first store in Fashion Place
Mall last year, we knew it was important to us to open more
physical retail locations as part of our long-term growth strategy.
We are excited to provide additional points of entry in Mall of
America and King of Prussia for
new adopters to experience the magic of Kizik. The feeling people
have when they first try on our shoes is not something that can be
replicated online."
In a long-term collaboration between Kizik and architecture and
design firm MG2, the new stores in Mall of America and King of Prussia bring to life a high-sensory
fit experience, alongside a physical manifestation of the brand.
Designed with an in-store try-on area, shoppers can step into their
first pair of Kiziks and experience the magic of their hands-free
innovations. The 1,645 sq. ft. space in Mall of America will offer
an elevated shopping experience while the slightly larger 1,812 sq.
ft. King of Prussia location will
leverage the enticing all-glass entry point as a visually
compelling draw into the try-on space.
The stores will offer Kizik's full assortment of men's, women's,
and kids' shoes in all sizes, as well as new styles launching
throughout the year. Kizik-branded apparel, their shoe care kits
and no-slip socks will also be available to purchase on site.
Beginning on Friday, Kizik's store in Mall of America will be
open during standard mall hours: 10am-9pm
Monday through Saturday and 11am-7pm
on Sunday, while King of
Prussia will be open 10am-8pm Monday
through Thursday, 10am-9pm
Friday & Saturday and 11am-6pm on
Sunday when the store opens in June.
