Business of Sport: Sugoi named the Canadian speciality apparel vendor of the year

The Canadian Association of Specialty Running Stores (CASRS) has announced Sugoi Performance Apparel announced the winner of its “Top Apparel Vendor” award. The award, one of four named by CASRS, recognizes Sugoi’s outstandin performance in running apparel. In bestowing the award, CASRS notes, “Sugoi has certainly won the respect and admiration of the independent running retailers across the country.” The award results from a 2007 survey of CASRS specialty running store members, and is the first award program of its kind conducted by the organization. CASRS notes, “While CASRS’ mission is to serve as a representative face for independent running retailers, the range of products your company offers is much wider than specialty running alone. In light of this, the fact that you are our Top Apparel Vendor speaks volumes about your business model.” Stan Mavis, president of Sugoi, said, “This award is immensely fulfilling. We are dedicated to creating products that create great running experience for our consumers and to maintaining the highest level of collaboration with the specialty running trade. Having the Canadian Association of Specialty Running Stores recognize that dedication is a great reward.” Subscribe to the Runner's Web Weekly Digest
