Canadian performance apparel brand DUER is expanding by opening its first standalone store in Ottawa. Located at 348 Richmond Road, the store aims to bring DUER’s unique blend of style, comfort, and functionality to the city’s active and fashion-forward community. Operating hours are 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday and 11 am to 5 pm Sundays.
Founded by Gary Lenett in Vancouver, DUER has carved out a niche in the fashion industry since its inception in 2015. The brand gained traction through a successful two-year Kickstarter campaign and has rapidly grown. DUER is recognized for its “stretch performance denim,” a product line crafted from plants and various recycled materials, putting a fresh twist on traditional jeans.

“I quickly discovered the market for clothing with performance attributes that still looked great was much bigger than I imagined, and that the possibilities went beyond just denim.” Courtesy of DUER Expanding its footprint has been a significant part of DUER’s strategy to double its retail presence in 2023.
New store openings are primarily focused in Canada and the United States. The new DUER location joins a host of brands in Westboro Village, including Lululemon, Saje, MEC, and Ollie Quinn.
