RYU grows annual revenue by 67%

15/05/2019
Canadian athletic apparel brand Respect Your Universe (RYU) has reported revenue of just over C$5 million (around $3.7 million) in 2018, an increase of 67% compared to the previous year.

This came off the back of a very strong fourth quarter, when sales at the company’s new retail sites in Brooklyn and Toronto made a contribution.

"We are delighted with this quarter and yearly results and the constant progress we are making in our strategic plan," said Marcello Leone, CEO of RYU. "Moving forward, RYU remains focused and we have a solid execution plan in place to position the brand for success.”

The brand now has nine stores in North America. It has a further two under construction in California, which are scheduled to open in summer 2019.
