Lucy Activewear
Lucy Activewear (sometimes styled as "lucy" rather than "Lucy"), formerly known as Lucy.com,[3] was an American clothing retailer based in Alameda, California. Founded in November 1999 by former Nike executives,[4] it specialized in activewear for women including clothing intended for use during yoga. It designed, manufactured and sold its own product lines including 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] Lucy did have 60 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] In 2017, Lucy closed a majority of its stores and was merged into The North Face by the VF Corporation.[7] Notes
