lucy Activewear, formerly known as lucy.com,[3] is an American clothing retailer based in Alameda, California. Founded in November 1999 by former Nike executives,[4] it specializes in activewear for women, including clothing intended for use during yoga. It designs, manufactures and sells its own product lines, including items such as jackets, bras, tops, and bottoms.[1][2][3]
Initially an online-only retailer, lucy opened brick-and-mortar stores in 2002 after the bursting of the dot-com bubble; for several years, the company completely shut down its web store. It was at that time the company changed its name from "lucy.com" to "lucy Activewear."[3] Though based in Portland, it did not open a store there in 2002 and did not have a retail presence in Oregon until it opened stores in Portland's Pearl District and Bridgeport Village two years later.[5] Today, lucy has 58 stores located across the United States, primarily in California.[1]
It was headquartered out of the KOIN Center in downtown Portland.[6]
lucy Activewear, Inc. was acquired on August 24, 2007 for $110 million by North Carolina-based VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC).[1] [2]
