Brands like Dog House appeal especially to Millennial Generation consumers, who are lapping up whimsically themed brands.

“The quality and affordability of our wines, coupled with our support of Guide Dogs for the Blind, gives Millennial consumers three doggone good reasons to make Dog House their pet brand,” said Mark Feinberg, V.P., Marketing.

White Rocket is supporting the new-package launch of Dog House with an array of point-of-sale materials, including this wood display rack, case cards, bottle neckers and shelf talkers.



Merrell’s First Flagship Store Opens In San Francisco

Merrell, a leader in performance outdoor footwear and apparel, opens its first-ever company-owned U.S. retail store this August in San Francisco's Union Square district. The 2,400 square foot flagship will showcase a complete selection of men’s, women's and children's merchandise.

The store’s interior design reinforces Merrell's dedication to the active outdoor market by featuring a combination of natural and technical materials that help bring the outdoor experience in a retail location. A color scheme of Merrell orange and muted neutrals complements the stone flooring and river rock baseboards and the vertical wood grain surfaces, grass panels and textural, recycled coverings and hardware for the store's footwear and apparel fixtures.

The Union Square Merrell store is designed as a cutting edge example of “evolved retail,” making it not merely a place to make a purchase, but also a crossroads for its customers. The Merrell store will deliver a consumer experience that goes beyond shopping whether it is by the staff that live and breathe Merrell's enthusiasm for active outdoor pursuits or by the community bulletin board inside the store that serves as a community resource and guide to the outdoors. Through sponsored events, bulletin boards, and seminars; the store will serve as a model for future Merrell store expansions. In addition to the active and casual footwear Merrell is known for, the flagship store will offer a wide selection of the brand's multi-use technical
jackets, fleece, long and short sleeve shirts, pants and hats as well as packs and bags.
