Golden Knights, Rank + Rally Announce Partnership

CHICAGO and LAS VEGAS, March 21, 2017 - Vegas Golden Knights™ President Kerry Bubolz announced today, March 21, that the team has entered a multi-year partnership with premier sports retailer and brand developer Rank + Rally, making Rank + Rally the team's official retail partner. Rank + Rally will handle all merchandise operations throughout T-Mobile Arena, including the official Team Store as well as develop limited edition and exclusive inaugural apparel and products.
"Our primary goal at all of our events is to create the best fan experience possible," said Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz. "Partnering with Rank + Rally - one of the preeminent sports retailers in the business - helps us achieve this objective. Rank + Rally and their parent company Levy are industry leaders when it comes to customer service, managing retail stores, and developing exclusive, innovative apparel lines that sports fans love. We are thrilled to work with them and excited to collaborate on the design of official Golden Knights apparel that our fans will be proud to wear."

When renovations are completed, the new Golden Knights official Team Store at T-Mobile Arena will be nearly triple the size of the previous shop at 2,500 square feet and will be home to the deepest line of Golden Knights retail products.
Rank + Rally is the retail subsidiary of Levy, and the partnership adds to Levy's footprint at T-Mobile Arena. Levy currently handles all dining operations at the arena and helped launch the venue last spring.
"The Vegas Golden Knights are bringing the first major league sports brand to the city. The products and every aspect of the retail experience need to match the enthusiasm of these fans and this town," said Andy Lansing, President and CEO of Levy. "Our retail partnership brings the arena experience full circle. We'll blend refined flavors, unique sights and sounds, and customized apparel to take the Knights game day experience to a new level."
The partnership expands Rank + Rally's portfolio to seven markets across the US and represents the group's third NHL engagement. Rank + Rally currently partners with the Chicago Blackhawks® and St. Louis Blues®. The group also handles retail operations for teams and venues across the NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS and thoroughbred horse racing, and recently developed pop-up retail outlets celebrating the Chicago Cubs World Series victory as part of its official team partnership.
