Mixed martial arts apparel firm Respect Your Universe (OTC:RYUN) announced Monday that it has signed a lease for the company’s first retail location, at The Shoppes at the Palazzo in Las Vegas.
The Respect Your Universe flagship store will be located in the famous Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino, and is set to open in late September of this year.
The store will be situated between Michael Kors and Seven for All Mankind, and design is currently in progress by acclaimed architects, Skylab Architecture, the company said in a statement.
The Men's 2012 Fall Collection and the new Women's 2012 Fall Line is set to be released in July, with the retail location to carry 120 styles from both these lines, including apparel and accessories.
"Las Vegas and The Shoppes at the Palazzo are a perfect fit for our first retail store,” said the company’s CEO, Christopher Martens.
"We intend to offer a premium shopping experience that serves as a true extension to brand. A modern space that will reflect the premium quality, performance, sustainability, craftsmanship and design of our apparel and products."
The company recently announced that it sponsored two Brazilian athletes at UFC 148, which it described as 'one of the biggest UFC fight cards of the year.'
Respect Your Universe sponsored lightweight Gleison Tibau who fought Khabib Nurmagomedov at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas last Saturday night. The firm also sponsored Tibau’s fellow lightweight Rafaello Oliveira in his fight against Yoislandy Izquierdo.
Along with the sponsored fighters, the company said its brand would be visible in various elements throughout the Pay-Per-View coverage and on-site at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
It had advertising across in-venue commercials during the event, as well as on the UFC website on the day after the event.
The company is an official sponsor of the UFC and will be visible in various elements throughout the UFC events in 2012, including logo displays and live announcements.
