Rip Curl added 19 Victoria, Australia retail shops to its quiver with the purchase of Ozmosis, according to a story on Ragtrader.com.
Rip Curl Asia Pacific CEO Steven Kay said the company was looking forward to working with its new Melbourne-headquartered team. . . . “Melbourne is one of the great epicentres of youth culture and Victoria home to some of the best surfing, skiing and snowboarding in the country, and Rip Curl wants to provide its customers with better access to the lifestyle products they need. Ozmosis can really help us do that,” Kay said.
This means Rip Curl has added 34 Australian store fronts in the last year. Looks like they’re set on staying in the game.
