JJB Sports announces retail partnership with Tekkers
JJB Sports has announced a new exclusive retail partnership with Tekkers, the football focused leisure brand.
The partnership will see JJB Sports stock Tekkers’ brand new Summer 2012 range at 20 JJB stores across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, as well as online.
The brand sells a range of tees, polos, hoodies, track pants, shorts and other accessories and was founded by former professional footballer and current football consultant and choreographer Andy Ansah who presents Wayne Rooney Street Striker and Ronaldo Tested to the Limit.
Tekkers counts Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney, Rory McIlroy and David Beckham among its fans.
Ray Evans, director of Football at JJB said: “The Tekkers offering is really exciting. Just like Tekkers, JJB are passionate about football. Tekkers will be a standout experience in store and we are certain that our customers will love the Tekkers products. The quality of the clothing and uniqueness of the brand make it very appealing. We believe that this will be the beginning of a long and successful partnership between JJB and Tekkers.”
Joe Sillett, managing director of Tekkers added: “Once we knew there was a real appetite for the Tekkers brand, it was clear that the business needed a bigger national presence, with wider distribution. JJB was always our first choice retail partner. They share our vision for the future, are totally passionate about football and we are excited to partner with them.”
