GOAT Group Inc. (which oversees GOAT<\/a> and Flight Club) is growing as the sneaker resell platform is set to acquire Grailed, according to a report by Bloomberg<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grailed, the peer-driven platform for apparel resell, will still operate as its own brand but will integrate GOAT’s operations infrastructure such as shipping and payments, Bloomberg<\/em> reports. Financial terms of the deal, however, weren’t disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latest move by GOAT Group is a continuation of the company’s expansion in the global e-commerce market of clothes, sneakers, and accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the last year, GOAT Group opened retail and warehouse facilities in Singapore, Tokyo, and Shenzhen, China, over the past year. Earlier in the spring, the company also announced a deal with Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>, the French Nike and Jordan Brand-sponsored football club, to release merch on the platform and even don the GOAT brand on the team’s jersey sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For GOAT Group, the acquisition is another piece of the puzzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been continuing to see growth across our businesses, especially in apparel and accessories, which have doubled the past 12 months,\u201d said Eddy Lu, co-founder and CEO of GOAT Group. \u201cWhen you\u2019re looking to accelerate growth even further, that\u2019s when consolidation makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay tuned to Snkrs Day for more industry news. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GOAT Group Inc.
