MAAP Takes Over Venice Beach with New US Store
Get ready, LA cyclists! MAAP, the Melbourne-based cycling apparel brand, has officially opened its first US store in the heart of Venice Beach. This new retail concept store, known as MAAP LaB Los Angeles, is more than just a place to shop – it’s a community hub that blends cycling with creative culture.
With successful store openings across Australia, Europe, and Asia, MAAP is now making its mark in North America. The store, located on the famous Abbot Kinney Boulevard, is the brand’s eighth global location and a significant step in its international expansion.
The interior of MAAP LaB Los Angeles, designed by Clare Cousins Architects, is a vibrant and welcoming space. Exposed brick and wood rafters create a warm and communal atmosphere, while a social coffee bar invites riders and locals to connect and share experiences both on and off the bike. This store truly embodies MAAP’s “Life Around Bikes” ethos, promoting real-world connections and celebrating the passion for cycling.
Co-founder and co-CEO Oliver Cousins expressed his excitement for the new store, stating, “The launch of MAAP LaB Los Angeles represents a defining moment for us as a brand. Venice puts us in the center of a thriving cycling community in LA, and it gives us our first real home in the US. The LaB is a hub for connection – welcoming our team, our friends, and the wider community through rides, events, and shared experiences. We’re proud to add to the fabric of LA’s cycling and cultural landscape.”
Located on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, known for its fusion of fashion, art, and food, MAAP LaB Los Angeles is more than just a store – it’s a statement of the brand’s cultural identity. It will host a packed calendar of community rides, exclusive product launches, events, and collaborations, solidifying its place as a gathering place for cyclists in the area.
