Cutter & Buck to Open Orange County Store Store at The Shoppes at Mission Viejo is Part of National Expansion for Leading Sportswear Manufacturer SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 1999--Cutter & Buck (Nasdaq:CBUK - news), a leading manufacturer of golf and business casual apparel, for men and women, will celebrate the grand opening of its first California retail store at The Shoppes at Mission Viejo in Orange County on Saturday, Nov. 20, 1999. The Mission Viejo store is the fourth retail location for Cutter & Buck, which is undertaking a major national expansion effort this year. Until now, select Cutter & Buck styles were only available in specialty retail stores, high-end golf pro shops and resorts. ''Our customers have been asking to see our entire clothing line,'' said Harvey Jones, Cutter & Buck CEO. ''These retail stores enable us to showcase the whole line and have a one-on-one dialogue with these customers, which is the kind of interactive relationship we want to have with them. We think it will help shape the growth of our brand.'' The 3,700-square-foot Mission Viejo store will display the complete fashion collection of men's and women's sportswear, outerwear, and business casual apparel. The store reflects Cutter & Buck's golf-inspired lifestyle and Pacific Northwest heritage. The interior and exterior design of the shop recreate the look and feel of a clubhouse, designed to make the entire shopping experience entertaining. ''The market for Cutter & Buck clothing in California is very strong,'' added Jones. ''That's why we're so excited about opening our store in The Shoppes at Mission Viejo. If its success mirrors that of our flagship Seattle store and recently-opened Denver store, our future expansion efforts look terrific.'' The Mission Viejo store features a unique Championship room that highlights Cutter & Buck's continued relationships with major golf championship events such as 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 the Saks/Nordstrom wing of The Shoppes at Mission Viejo near Pottery Barn and Abercrombie & Fitch. Store hours will follow the standard shopping center schedule: Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 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, Orlando's Florida Mall, and now in The Shoppes at Mission Viejo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact: For Cutter & Buck Dan Miller, 206/326-5107
