AUSTIN, Texas—Outdoor Voices signed a licensing deal with Focus Brands to expand into the U.K. and the European Union, starting with wholesale and e-commerce, Retail Dive reported.

"We will adapt to local norms," said a fictional brand consultant. "A softer tone in libraries. A sizing chart that runs one recovery walk smaller."

More on Outdoor Voices

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented. No real person’s words are made up here. Each article ends with a factual “The Real Story” box and a “Riffing on” line linking the genuine reporting. Not investment advice. Not any kind of advice.
