Cutter & Buck to Open Orlando Store Florida Mall Store is Third in National Expansion for Leading Golf & Sportswear Manufacturer SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 1999--Cutter & Buck (Nasdaq:CBUK - news), a leading manufacturer of golf, sportswear, and business casual apparel, will celebrate the opening of its first Florida retail store at Orlando's Florida Mall next Friday, November 5, 1999. The store opening will coincide with the unveiling of the mall's recently-completed new wing expansion and renovation project. Grand opening activities will run through Saturday, November 13. The Orlando store is Cutter & Buck's third retail location, and is an integral part of the company's national expansion effort. Until now, select Cutter & Buck styles were only available in high-end golf pro shops, resorts, and specialty retail stores. However, customer demand across the country, especially in areas such as Orlando, provided the company the opportunity to showcase its entire clothing line in one location. ''This is the first time our loyal Florida customers will be able to see the complete line of Cutter & Buck merchandise,'' said Cutter & Buck CEO Harvey Jones. ''It is also an opportunity to introduce the brand to those who don't yet know us.'' Cutter & Buck's family-friendly store environment is designed to make the entire shopping experience fun and interactive. The store will display the complete fashion collection of men's and women's sportswear, outerwear, and business casual wear, with special sizes for the big and tall. The 4000-square foot store is designed to reflect the golf lifestyle as well as the company's Pacific Northwest roots, displaying the apparel in a truly Cutter & Buck environment. Its interior and exterior design re-creates the look and feel of a clubhouse. ''Cutter & Buck appeals to all consumers who appreciate the tradition and heritage of golf and the fun of the outdoor sporting lifestyle,'' added Jones. ''This crosses over from sportswear to everyday business casual styles and beyond.'' The store features a unique Championship room that highlights Cutter & Buck's continued relationships with major golf championship events including the U.S. Open, Ryder Cup, and PGA Championship. In addition to its extensive clothing line, the new store will showcase accessories to complement the active lifestyle such as luggage, golf umbrellas, watches, scarves, belts and towels. The Cutter & Buck store is located in new Burdines and Dillard's wing of the Florida Mall, next to Restoration Hardware. Store hours will follow the standard shopping center schedule: Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Headquartered in Seattle and known for strong clear colors, natural fiber fabrics, attention to detail, innovative trims, and specialized printing and embroidery, Cutter & Buck has developed a collection of high-quality sportswear targeted to the upscale apparel market. The clothing projects an updated American design evocative of a sporting and business casual lifestyle. Cutter & Buck distributes products both domestically and internationally in high-end golf pro shops and resorts, specialty retail stores and its own stores at Pacific Place in downtown Seattle, Cherry Creek Shopping Center in Denver, and now in Orlando's Florida Mall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact: Cutter & Buck Harvey N.
