SCOTTSDALE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2025 / FBCD (OTC PINK:FBCD) is proud to announce a bold new leap in its expansion strategy, officially opening two premium retail locations at Chandler Fashion Center (3111 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler, AZ 85226) and SanTan Village (2218 E Williams Field Rd, Gilbert, AZ 85295). These launches position FBCD's retail presence at the heart of Arizona's most trafficked and trend-forward shopping destinations, reinforcing its growing dominance in the luxury streetwear and lifestyle market.
Both locations feature FBCD's in-house fashion powerhouse, Formrunner Apparel, alongside its immersive boutique concept, Studio 22. Together, they form a unique retail experience unlike anything else in the region - a one-stop destination for premium streetwear, underground heat, and limited-edition exclusives.
Inside, shoppers will find a curated mix of today's most sought-after brands, including Sp5der, Chrome Hearts, A Bathing Ape (BAPE), Essentials, and a collection of standout Arizona-based streetwear labels. Studio 22 also serves as a fashion gallery of sorts, offering rare vintage t-shirts, custom jewelry, headwear, and seasonal drops, all backed by an elite retail aesthetic designed to attract fashion enthusiasts, creators, and influencers alike.
"These two stores aren't just new doors - they're statements," said an FBCD spokesperson. "We're building cultural landmarks. Chandler Fashion Center and SanTan Village give us massive exposure and access to one of the fastest-growing urban youth markets in the country. We're not just selling clothing - we're setting trends and shaping lifestyles."
At the heart of the experience is Formrunner Apparel, the crown jewel of FBCD's fashion portfolio. Known for its bold graphics, premium materials, and 1-of-1 exclusivity model, Formrunner is rapidly evolving into one of the most disruptive names in independent fashion. The brand already has exclusive collaborations underway with national brands, NFL athletes, and recording artists, with more announcements expected in the coming quarters.
These strategic retail openings are part of a broader rollout plan to expand FBCD's physical footprint, build strong regional brand equity, and drive high-margin product sales through direct-to-consumer channels. With strong retail data, a loyal youth following, and increasing celebrity interest, FBCD is now primed for explosive scale in both brick-and-mortar and digital markets.
Investor Outlook
These moves reflect FBCD's ongoing execution of its aggressive growth roadmap, with retail expansion serving as a major catalyst for revenue acceleration and brand valuation. In a market where authenticity drives consumer spending, FBCD stands at the forefront - merging music, fashion, and culture into a highly scalable retail model with national potential.
