New HQ for Brooks Sports

20/10/2011
Performance footwear and apparel brand Brooks Sports has announced plans to relocate its global headquarters from Bothell, Washington, to nearby Seattle.

Its new headquarters will be close to Seattle's Burke-Gilman Trail, a 27-kilometre trail on a former railway line that is now popular with walkers, cyclists and runners. The ground floor of the new Brooks headquarters building will also house a retail concept shop.

"We have an incredible opportunity to create a new home for our leading performance brands that exemplifies who we are and ingrains us in the local running community," said Jim Weber, president and CEO of Brooks Sports.
