Aberdeen-based sportswear and lifestyle brand A.K. Positive has teased shoppers with signs reading 'something is coming' at 308 George Street, just a few doors down from its flagship store at 517 George Street. The new unit, formerly a tattoo parlour, features blacked-out windows with peepholes that offer a sneak preview of the interior, including mannequins dressed in the brand's clothing.
Brand Background and Expansion
Founded by Karol Grzona and Gufran Ali, A.K. Positive started as an online venture before expanding into physical retail. Its flagship store on George Street has become a popular destination for trendy activewear, gym clothes, and sports supplements. The brand now plans to open a second location just steps away, with a reveal date set for August 1, as confirmed by social media posts.
What Shoppers Can Expect
While the exact offerings of the new store remain under wraps, A.K. Positive is known for its premium fabric clothing, including velour tracksuits, shorts, and tee sets for men and women. The brand also stocks supplements like creatine and pre-workouts, described as 'built for performance' and 'science-backed fuel.' According to the company website, A.K. Positive is trusted by 5,000 customers across six countries and stocked in 10 stores, with a perfect five-star rating on Google Reviews.
