Disneyland Resort has two new retail stores coming to Downtown
Disney this spring – Sanuk, a footwear shop and BLINK, a denim
apparel store.
“We look forward to welcoming both Sanuk and BLINK to Downtown
Disney,” said Tony Bruno, vice president, Disneyland Resort hotels
and Downtown Disney. “Both locations will provide our guests with
distinctive product and are a great fit with our unique blend of
retail, dining and entertainment offerings.”
Sanuk’s new flagship location will offer the largest selection of
product available outside of the company’s online store, including
flip flops, surf sandals and other beach footwear, such as their
signature yoga mat flip-flops.
“Taking its name from the Thai word for fun, Sanuk strives to make
innovative products that are as much about funk as they are about
function,” said Jeff Kelley, Sanuk founder. “We are happy to be
back at Downtown Disney.”
Sanuk first joined Downtown Disney in 2010 – that pop-up was the
company’s first retail store. Its success paved the way for the
new, larger space.
Also coming to Downtown Disney this spring is BLINK, a
denim-focused pop-up concept, owned by Wet Seal. BLINK features the
latest trends in denim, while also offering a variety of fashion
and casual tops, as well as accessories to complete a desired look.
The BLINK concept was developed out of Wet Seal’s strong denim
focus and serves as an extension of the brand.
“Opening Wet Seal’s concept shop BLINK in Downtown Disney, a major
Southern California tourist destination, will be a great
opportunity for the brand,” said Steve Benrubi, chief financial
officer of The Wet Seal, Inc. “We’re eager to feature our new
location in the vibrant entertainment area of the resort, and
expect that visitors will enjoy shopping a wide assortment of
merchandise.”
At BLINK, “Denim Experts” will be available to offer a high
level of service and product knowledge about dozens of styles from
various fashion brands.
