Women’s activewear brand Sweaty Betty has expanded its footprint in the US with two new stores in Chicago and Washington DC.

The Chicago store is located in the Southport neighborhood and the Washington one is situated in the Georgetown area.

Both venues offer Sweaty Betty’s collection of premium activewear, fusing feminine focused design and style with technical performance.

Melissa Mullen, global brand president of Sweaty Betty, said the openings marked an “exciting opportunity” for the label to connect with new communities and deepen its presence in key markets.

“We look forward to being part of these vibrant cities, supporting our consumers’ active lifestyles, and continuing to grow our global sisterhood,” Mullen added.

Founded in 1998, the London-based brand is owned by Wolverine Worldwide, whose portfolio also includes Merrell and Saucony.

In addition to the new US locations, the brand is also expanding its footprint in the UK with openings in Cardiff, Wales, and Westfield London.
