HILLSBORO, Ore.-September 29, 2009-Women and girls from all over the Northwest are traveling to shop at Aries Apparel—a one of a kind women’s only athletic apparel store based in Hillsboro, OR.  Customers of all ages from Tillamook, Troutdale, Vancouver, Salem and even Eugene come for Aries Apparel’s selection of over 100 athletic brands which represent 10 different sports.

Located between Hillsboro and west Beaverton, Aries Apparel has found the ideal location to serve female athletes of all ages.   Aries Apparel is 6200 sq. feet of sport-specific athletic apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories for women and girls, year round. 

For those outside of the Northwest, Aries Apparel engages customers through an extensive e-commerce site.   “In a way, we tried to make the website mirror the feel of our store.  Guests can shop by Sport or by Brand, so it is easy to find what you need.  We represent a large variety of brands, and sports so there is something for everyone,” said owner Diana Marsden.

“Aries Apparel is committed to serving young female athletes, something we are very passionate about at Nike. The unique female-specific store concept, targeted product assortment and premium consumer experience is an inspiration to the industry" said Amy White, Nike Vice President of Running for North America. "We are pleased to work with Aries Apparel as a Nike retail partner, especially as they launch this exciting new retail concept, and look forward to a continued successful relationship."

About Aries Apparel

Aries Apparel is the largest women only athletic apparel, footwear and accessories store in the NW, if not in all of the U.S.  Founded in 2008 by Diana Marsden, the store carries national lines such as Nike, Adidas, Wilson, Under Armor and local lines such as Handful bras and EQ Swimwear.

Marsden’s inspiration for the store came after raising two daughters playing sports and always being challenged to find any sort of selection, to meet their apparel and footwear needs.  “Other stores don’t recognize that girls are playing their sports year-round now and they need products at all times of the year.   And, let’s face it, girls are girls and their shopping habits are different from guys,” commented Marsden.
