MARK & GRAHAM LAUNCHES COLLABORATION WITH CITYPICKLE

 New Partnership Will Include Retail Opportunities and Pickleball Events With Personalization

Mark & Graham, a portfolio brand of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM), is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with CityPickle, a fast-growing lifestyle company known for its premier pickleball facilities and active community programming. This collaboration marks the first time Mark & Graham’s iconic personalized products will be available directly through a national pickleball platform, bringing the brand’s best-selling pickleball products to CityPickle locations across the country.

As part of the partnership, Mark & Graham’s curated assortment of pickleball essentials—ranging from monogrammable court bags and accessories, to pickleball-inspired pet apparel—will be sold in select CityPickle pro shops and on City-Pickle.com.

“Mark & Graham was founded on the idea that thoughtful design and personalization can elevate everyday experiences,” said Kate Lesher, Senior Vice President of Mark & Graham. “Partnering with CityPickle allows us to bring our signature monogramming and personalized products courtside as we celebrate the growing popularity of pickleball across the country.”

In addition to retail integration, the partnership will include a series of co-branded events that will be highlighted by an event in CityPickle’s Times Square location in New York City. During these events, attendees that reserve a court time from CityPickle will be able to personalize Mark & Graham pickleball gear via the brand’s on-site mobile customization capabilities.

“We’re excited to bring our customers an opportunity to not only play the game they love but do it with style,” said Mary Cannon, Co-CEO of CityPickle. “With Mark & Graham, we’re elevating the on and off-court experience, from the gear you carry to the community-focused events that bring players together,” explained Erica Desai, Co-CEO of CityPickle.
