The Sports Bra, a bar dedicated to showcasing women’s sports, is planning to expand nationally with the support of Alexis Ohanian and his organization, the 776 Foundation. The partnership aims to capitalize on the growing interest in women’s sports, particularly college basketball, and promote gender equality through sports.
Ohanian has expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration and stated that he is proud to support The Sports Bra as a welcoming space for all athletes. All returns from the investment will go towards supporting future generations of women athletes. Since its opening two years ago, The Sports Bra has gained a global following and has been successful in its mission.
Jenny Nguyen, founder and CEO of The Sports Bra, is excited about the expansion plans and believes there is a strong demand for more establishments that celebrate and support women athletes. She plans to open new locations across the country while continuing to invest in the mission of promoting gender equality through sports. The recent basketball championship game drew 18.9 million viewers, surpassing even NBA finals viewership from the previous year.
Nguyen sees this as an exciting time for women’s sports and envisions a future where similar bars will be spread across the country, sustaining the mission of empowering women through sports.
