Founded in 2016, Castore was created out of the Beahon brothers鈥 frustration and dissatisfaction with the quality of men鈥檚 sportswear, much of the sector dominated by a handful of mass-market brands. The founders strove to be different from this, offering a high-quality alternative for athletes demanding the very best from their performance.

Recently, Castore hit a major milestone, being the new kit and retail partner for the Glasgow FC Rangers. The partnership announced the opening of the new Ibrox Retail Store for August 2020, operated by Castore and accompanied by numerous other retail sites throughout the Scottish city and beyond.
