While sports apparel has been historically geared toward the male audience, Roster carries a wide selection for women.


“Our women’s line is very important; it’s all about fashion, fabric and fit. A woman can express her team allegiance wearing something that’s made specifically for her,” said Shameklis. “And, for men, we offer something that’s a significant upgrade from your typical licensed apparel.”


Today, sports lifestyle manufacturers are looking to this category to add a new dimension to the traditional sports licensed market.

 

“Until now, most licensed product has been sold through your average sporting goods stores,” said Tom Emmons, Executive Vice President. “Today’s sports apparel merchandisers want to sell their more fashionable lines in upscale boutiques. That’s where ROSTER comes in, its America’s first Sports Lifestyle store”

 

While this is the first ROSTER store in New Jersey, ROSTER opened at the Philadelphia International Airport (B/C Connector) and has 7 locations in the Boston area.

 

“We’re a company with a passion for retail, and we’re thrilled to opening at the Cherry Hill Mall!” said Shameklis.
