“Living an active lifestyle is fundamental to the SHOES.COM team which makes Grouse Mountain the perfect playground for us to engage and entertain, not only our guests, but our team of over 200 employees here in Vancouver,” said CEO and Co-Founder of SHOES.COM, Roger Hardy. “It’s not uncommon for the SHOES.COM team to be up at the Grouse Grind bright and early racing each other up the mountain. We see this partnership as a natural extension of our brand and culture and we’re looking forward introducing Grouse Mountain guests to our team and wide selection to footwear products to match all of the many activities the mountain has to offer.”
SHOES.COM has also been awarded the title sponsorship of the Grouse Grind Mountain Run taking place September 24th. Additionally, the partnership will include activations at a number of other Grouse Mountain events throughout the year including:
