Meet Britain’s youngest self-made billionaire. Ben Francis is the founder and CEO of Gymshark. “It was like a dream come true for me,” the 32-year-old told The Post about starting his own business back in 2012. Now, in a surprising move for retail, the primarily online store is expanding to more brick-and-mortar locations beyond the UK.
Gymshark currently has a pop-up shop on 105 Wooster Street in New York City’s fashion hub Soho. Francis says it’s a chance for customers to ”see and feel” the product. Their single best-selling item is a pair of women’s black gym leggings. Find out more in this episode of NYNext, hosted by Lydia Moynihan, and why Francis wants his brand to become the Land Rover of workout clothes.
