Alexis Ohanian, a co-founder of Reddit and part owner of Angel City Football Club in the NWSL, recently invested in The Sports Bra, a sports bar dedicated to women’s sports in Portland, Oregon. This major investment will enable the bar to franchise and expand, bringing its unique concept to more locations.
Jenny Nguyen, the founder and CEO of The Sports Bra, expressed her gratitude for the support and explained that the returns from the investment would go towards future donations to women’s sports programs. The bar has plans to open in cities across the country and continue investing in its mission of promoting women’s sports.
The decision to expand comes at a time of rising interest in women’s sports, as evidenced by record ratings for the NCAA women’s basketball national championship game. The momentum behind women’s sports is driving the success of The Sports Bra, providing a welcoming and inclusive space for fans to cheer for their favorite female athletes.
Nguyen’s vision for The Sports Bra is rooted in her desire to provide young girls with a place in sports and inspire them to pursue their athletic dreams. The impact of The Sports Bra goes beyond just a sports bar – it’s about creating a community that empowers young girls and future generations of female athletes.
