US EditionWomen’s Sports Bar The Sports Bra Set to Expand to Four New Cities
- The Sports Bra, a women’s sports-focused bar launched by CEO Jenny Nguyen in Portland in April 2022, is set to open four franchised locations across major U.S. Cities including the Northeast, Midwest, and Southwest regions.
- This expansion follows a 2024 investment by Alexis Ohanian's 776 Foundation aimed at franchising and an October invitation for investors to apply for locally owned locations.
- The new bars will emphasize local and women-owned food and beverage offerings and create community spaces broadcasting women's athletic events to serve fans nationwide.
- The 2024 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship reached a viewership high of 24 million, while the WNBA’s regular season attracted more than 54 million viewers, highlighting significant growth in the audience for women’s sports.
- Nguyen stated the expansion builds a movement beyond bars, planting roots where demand for women's sports is undeniable, even as St. Louis recovers from a late May 2025 tornado.
