Brooks to Open Stand-alone Retail Stores

Seattle-based Brooks is opening a stand-alone retail store in one of the hottest malls in the US: University Village, Seattle Times reports:

The University Village location is around 2,500 square feet, and it will neighbor The North Face outdoor clothing and equipment shop. Billish hopes the store will serve as gathering place for runners, particularly given its proximity to the Burke-Gilman Trail.

UVillage is one of my favorite urban places in the PNW. It has a bit of Euro shopping street feel. It will be interesting to see how Brooks will do alongside a smattering of Aperol Spitz this summer. They have arrived now over here, haven’t they?
