First Look: Oakley debuts high-tech, 'bunker-style' store in Denver
Oakley has opened its newest immersive retail store in a major skiing and snowboarding hub.
The eyewear and goggle brand’s newest store is located in Denver’s River North Arts District (RiNo), and offers visitors an “immersive, 360 omnichannel experience” in a high-tech “bunker style” space with access to one of Oakley’s largest selections of apparel and accessories. The brand says the new location signals a “new era,” where technology and thoughtful design come together to redefine the consumer journey.
“Through innovation-led expansion, we’re reimagining the retail experience and how we show up for consumers,” said Luigi Ocone, senior VP & GM at Oakley. “It’s about moving beyond product to create meaningful experiences that leave our visitors feeling inspired, connected, and part of something bigger. While this space marks an exciting new chapter, we’re equally committed to making meaningful contributions to the RiNo community - and showing up with intention to become a valued part of it.”
