History
[edit]Ridestore AB was founded in 2006 by Emil Hellberg and his teenage brother Linus Hellberg. Linus was motivated to start an e-commerce business out of a spare room in his parents' home, when he discovered that the American outdoor sport apparel brands he was interested in were not sold by any e-retailers in Sweden.[6] Linus dropped out of school to run Ridestore AB, and was joined by his brother, Emil Hellberg.[7] By 2017, Ridestore had become one of Sweden's largest e-retailers.[8] Successful expansion into North America and other parts of Europe have resulted in rapid financial growth.[9][10]
Ridestore AB acquired the Dope clothing trademark in the USA and Canada from EPOD America LLC, owned by Rob Gough,[11] in 2020.[12][13]

[edit]- In 2017, Ridestore AB was recognized as having one of the top 100 e-commerce websites in Sweden by IDG.[14]
- In 2020, Ridestore AB was recognized by Computer Bild magazine as one of the fastest growing e-commerce Motor, Sports and Outdoor brands of 2021.[15]
