Chinook Footwear announced the hiring of Kittredge & Associates as the brand’s sales representatives for the entire U.S. Brothers Bill and Brian Kittredge founded their eponymous Manhattan firm in 1980 and showcase the very best in footwear in an adjacent showroom.
“Partnering with Kittredge & Associates is a natural fit for Chinook,” said Jim Bateman, president of Chinook Footwear. “Kittredge has deep roots in the footwear industry and an impressive track record of success. We are confident that Kittredge understands how to best expand Chinook’s reach and distribution.”
“We are looking forward to expanding the Chinook line outside of traditional work footwear while we continue to honor the core of our business,” continued Bateman. “Like us, Bill and Brian have vast experience in footwear, plus they have a rock-solid sales team spanning the U.S.”
“We are not in 10 categories; we focus primarily on footwear,” say Bill Kittredge. “Chinook is a fantastic brand with huge opportunity to expand the sales distribution,” Bill continues. “Rob and Jim are seriously focused on footwear and they–and we–are experts in selling it.”
Chinook is located in Portland, Ore.
