BALTIMORE, March 5, 2015-- Under Armour (NYSE: UA) opened the doors of its newest specialty retail location at 600 North Michigan Avenue on Chicago's Magnificent Mile, the city's premier retail destination. With a focus on cutting-edge products and design, the Chicago Brand House will serve as a stunning example of the brand's commitment to offering customers a superior shopping experience.
Featuring men's, women's and youth apparel, footwear and equipment, the Chicago Brand House will be the region's signature space to shop a full line of Under Armour® products that make athletes look, feel and perform their best. Under Armour's newest store will feature two floors of the brand's latest innovations across various product categories, including outdoor, team sports, training, running, golf, studio, youth and footwear.

The Chicago Brand House features nearly 30,000 square feet of interactive retail space and delivers a fully immersive brand experience, telling the brand story through digital displays that inform and inspire. The retail concept has been successfully executed in other premium locations, including New York City's SoHo neighborhood, the brand's hometown of Baltimore, MD and Tyson's Corner in McLean, VA.
