VANCOUVER, June 27, 2018
/CNW/ - RYU Apparel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RYU.V ) creators
of urban athletic apparel, is pleased to provide an update on two
retail partnerships that were launched earlier this year. Select
Nordstrom locations in the US and Canada as well as through Nordstrom.com have
been carrying a selection of RYU menswear and bags for over six
months. While RYU products moved from "pop-up" store status to
being fully represented as part of Equinox's regular retail
offering for Canada over a similar
time frame.
RYU is delighted to report that its results with sales to both
Nordstrom and Equinox have been very successful and both retailers
have already placed repeat and continued orders for RYU branded
apparel.
"We are excited that our programs to Nordstrom and Equinox have
been very well received by customers" said Marcello Leone, CEO of RYU. "It is always
encouraging to have validation by seeing increased demand from
various sources outside of our direct marketing influences that
point towards the creation of a world class brand."
