Our customer journey starts in our communities where we support, empower, and celebrate in order to earn the right to do business there.
We are deeply engrained in our neighborhoods and work with many local partners to provide experiences and tell our stories – be it at food drives, music festivals, skate tournaments, dance contests, basketball games, or in one of our 700 state-of-the-art doors.
To ensure our stories have reach, we also regularly work with global partners such as our Chief Creative Office DJ Khaled, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, or brands such as Sony PlayStation and Sprite.
We entered the US market in 2019 through two acquisitions and have been extremely well-received by our communities, customers, and brand partners.
We completed our third acquisition at the end of 2021, and in March 2022 acquired a fourth company in the US.
We are geared up to invest more in our communities, our brand, and points of sale to unlock further growth across the US.
