Johan Hedberg, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “The move of our headquarters and distribution center during the third quarter was a success, and we’re happy to now have that behind us. Despite experiencing some anticipated disruptions from the move, we were pleased to generate sales that were in line with the prior year, and our year-to-date sales remain ahead of 2024. Third quarter sales from our retail stores were actually ahead of last year’s, as the move more directly impacted shipments of online orders from our distribution center due to a limited on-line assortment during the move. With our operations now running again from our new location, we believe we are well positioned for a solid fourth quarter in both our retail and online channels.”
