Jeff Obstfeld, president of Sunglass Icon commented, "We have grown our retail store count substantially since Oakley's acquisition of Iacon in 2001, demonstrating a strong commitment to invest in an expanding retail footprint. With this re-branding, we will leverage our name recognition among mall developers as a formidable national tenant and among consumers as the sunglass experts, pursuing future growth under a single, unified, scaleable retail concept."
The company plans to begin retrofitting stores with new signage immediately and expects to complete the transition within 12-18 months.
