A popular apparel brand that opened its first ever retail outlet at Karrinyup Shopping Centre two years ago is set to close its inaugural store this October.<\/p>\n
Velocity Activewear founder Milly Turley shared the news on the brand\u2019s social media channels, reflecting on her bricks and mortar journey which began in September 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi everyone, I never thought I\u2019d be standing in front of Velocity\u2019s first ever retail store to let you all know that we will be moving on from this store in Karrinyup,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a bitter sweet moment because this store is where literally everything started for Velocity in the retail world and I did not think that I would move on to open six more retail stores.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut unfortunately she has served her purpose, she\u2019s been amazing for two years and we are onto bigger and better things.\u201d<\/p>\n
The female-focused gym apparel label operates six stores across Australia, with its two other Perth outlets located in Butler and Cannington respectively.<\/p>\n
While declaring the Karrinyup store\u2019s days were numbered, Ms Turley hinted at further developments.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us at this store, you really got Velocity off the ground in a retail space and stay tuned for tomorrow because we have a bit more information for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut as of October, this store will no longer be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans responded to the announcement with their requests for the Velocity\u2019s next retail location, while saluting the end of an era.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh that\u2019s a shame but looking forward to hearing where you are moving to next,\u201d one person commented.<\/p>\n
\u201cBooragoon would be a great location,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n
The clip shared to social media suggested another update would arrive on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A popular apparel brand that opened its first ever retail outlet at Karrinyup Shopping Centre two years ago…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":827229,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,134,995,1625],"class_list":["post-827228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business","tag-entertainment","tag-influencers","tag-lifestyle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=827228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/827229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=827228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=827228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=827228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
