Happiest Brand on Earth to Sell in the Happiest Place on Earth

Sanuk (they’re not shoes, they’re sandals) takes out a rubber chicken, smiles, and announces the grand opening of the Sanuk signature store at the world famous Downtown Disney.

The Sanuk store will be located in the heart of Downtown Disney from November 18th through January 15th. Sanuk’s most popular inventions (the Vagabonds, Standards, Yoga Mats) will be available in mens, womens, and kids sizes.

“This gives us a fantastic place to showcase our products to a variety of people. It is a tremendous step for Sanuk,” explains Sanuk President John Vance.

The Sanuk logo, in between hula-hoop lessons, added: “You know I’m happy!”

About Sanuk: Founded in 1997 by Southern California native Jeff Kelley, Sanuk provides creatively inspired yet distinctively designed footwear products for the global outdoor community. Taking its name from the Thai word for fun, Sanuk strives to make innovative products that are as much about funk as they are about function.

Honored with the SIMA 2007 Footwear Product of the Year and the 2009 Irvine Soft Bocce Champions, Sanuk’s Sidewalk Surfers are known as “Not-A-Shoe” for their comfort and patented shoe top, sandal sole construction. Sanuk continues to dance with a broad spectrum of premier superheroes, including spider-man Chris Sharma and singing dolphin Donavan Frankenreiter. Sanuk products are now smiling in over 50 countries worldwide.

About Downtown Disney: A lush garden oasis during the day and an energizing entertainment district at night, Downtown Disney is the high-energy place for Southern California locals. Guests can experience a great variety of shopping, dining and entertainment. Downtown Disney is located next to the Disney theme parks at 1580 S Disneyland Dr. Anaheim, CA 92802-2294.
