The company was launched three years ago by Lululemon founder Chip Wilson.

โ€œWe recognize the traditional world of bricks and mortar retailing is changing, which is why weโ€™re shifting strategies,โ€ Wilson posted on his Facebook page. โ€œKit and Aceโ€™s focus will shift to its solid Canadian showrooms and an expanded global e-commerce platform. Effective immediately, weโ€™re reducing Kit and Aceโ€™s head office staff and closing its showrooms in the U.S., Australia and the U.K.โ€

Kit and Ace opened in summer 2015 at 315 N. Broadway in Milwaukee.
