History

[6] Linus dropped out of school to run Ridestore AB, and was joined by his brother, Emil Hellberg. [7] By 2017, Ridestore had become one of Sweden's largest e-retailers. [8] Successful expansion into North America and other parts of Europe have resulted in rapid financial growth. [9] [10]

Ridestore AB acquired the Dope clothing trademark in the USA and Canada from EPOD America LLC, owned by Rob Gough, [11] in 2020. [12] [13]

Awards and recognition

  • In 2017, Ridestore AB was recognized as having one of the top 100 e-commerce websites in Sweden by IDG. [14]
