Australian‑born activewear company LSKD is set to make Austin its U.S. headquarters with the grand opening of a full‑service retail location on South Congress Avenue. The store is scheduled to open at 10 a.m. on Dec. 5, and the brand is planning a street‑party celebration that will run until 1:30 p.m.
What LSKD brings to Austin
Founded by entrepreneur Jason Daniel, LSKD offers a range of performance apparel for both women and men, including t‑shirts, tank tops, jackets, running shorts, skirts, leggings, and a selection of accessories such as socks, bags and belts. The new Austin store will carry the full line and will also feature an exclusive product: 150 Redline Jackets in burnt orange and cream, each adorned with an Austin patch.
Opening‑day festivities
The Dec. 5 celebration will showcase other local South Congress retailers and health‑focused brands, including electrolyte drink maker LMNT, Cam Fruit Snacks, and the beloved Torchy’s Tacos. In a community‑oriented move, LSKD will allow the first customers in line to exchange any pair of activewear bottoms—regardless of brand—for a new pair of LSKD bottoms at no cost, while supplies last.
Beyond the storefront
LSKD plans to make the South Congress location more than a shopping destination. The store will host weekly programming such as recovery workshops, fitness meet‑ups, and other community‑building events designed to support Austin’s active lifestyle culture. By offering free gatherings and educational sessions, the brand hopes to foster a sense of belonging among local residents.
Why Austin?
South Congress Avenue has long been a hub for boutique retailers, dining, and creative enterprises, making it an ideal setting for LSKD’s first U.S. flagship. The brand’s decision to locate its American headquarters in Austin underscores the city’s growing reputation as a magnet for innovative, health‑focused businesses.
Looking ahead
With the opening of its South Congress store, LSKD joins a wave of national and international brands expanding into Austin’s vibrant market. The company’s emphasis on community events and exclusive product offerings signals a commitment to long‑term engagement with local shoppers, rather than a fleeting pop‑up presence.
Residents and visitors alike are invited to join the Dec. 5 festivities, explore the new product line, and take advantage of the free‑swap promotion. As LSKD settles into its new home, the brand aims to become a staple of Austin’s active‑wear scene and a contributor to the city’s thriving small‑business ecosystem.
