RYU Apparel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RYU & Frankfurt Stock Exchange: RYA) opened its second retail location at 805 Thurlow Street in Vancouver.

The 1,100-square-foot retail space was designed by architect Tony Robins with the same industrial, modern aesthetic as RYU’s flagship store in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver.

“This has been an exciting year for us,” said Marcello Leone, CEO, 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 additional store locations in the lower mainland as well as its first Eastern Canadian store in Toronto, which it plans to open within the next six months.
