RIO BEACH™ Celebrates 40 Years of Best in Beach and New Life Is Good® Licensing Partnership
Legacy Beach Gear Brand Shares Refreshed Logo and Multi-Year Deal in Tandem with Milestone Anniversary
WATERTOWN, CT, March 31, 2022 /5W Public Relations/ — RIO Beach™, an industry leader in beach gear acquired by ShelterLogic Group Inc. in 2018, is pleased to celebrate its 40th anniversary of creating high-quality beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and beach coolers for generations of customers. Originally founded in 1947 with a line of outdoor furniture, the brand expanded into beach gear in the 1980’s, continuing on to make premium products under the RIO brand and for the Tommy Bahama brand, including beach gear, gazabos, lawn chairs, and other outdoor lifestyle products.
To celebrate a milestone 40 years in the beach business, RIO BEACH is releasing a new brand logo for its beach fashion gear, alongside a 40th anniversary logo as well as new brand content. This updated look provides a refresh for the brand, while staying true to its tenured stance as a leader in the beach gear industry.
“RIO already owned the beach chair and umbrella market when we acquired it and the brand had a long history of quality innovation but bringing it under the ShelterLogic umbrella of brands gave them resources to expand into new markets,” said Rob Silinski, President of ShelterLogic Group Inc. “What began as a family-owned company has grown into an industry-leading brand, and we are thrilled to experience the 40th anniversary.”
Furthering the anniversary celebrations, RIO BEACH is proud to announce a new, multi-year licensing partnership with Life Is Good®. Branded product coming to the market later in 2022 will embody the mission of Life Is Good – spreading the power of optimism – through beach and camping gear perfect for your next adventure. The new partnership will be displayed on the ShelterLogic booth at the upcoming National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, Nevada in early April 2022 and products are slated to arrive later in the year on LifeIsGood.com.
“We are thrilled to be working with Life Is Good on this exciting partnership as we bring our ideas to life over the next few months,” said Keegan Nesvacil, Group Vice President at ShelterLogic. “This feels like a natural partnership, and we are eager to share this news with our retail partners, as well as our customers, who are outdoor lovers and embrace the Life Is Good mentality.”
