Exclusive Co-Branded Capsule Collection by Facedrive and Bel-Air Athletics Available for Preorder on Facedrive Marketplace

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Facedrive Inc. (“Facedrive”) (TSXV: FD), the first Canadian peer-to-peer, eco-friendly and socially responsible ridesharing network is pleased to announce that it has launched the highly anticipated Facedrive Marketplace, a game-changer for the $235 billion rideshare industry (Statista 2019). Guests and users of Facedrive Marketplace are now able to access the curated selection of merchandise available for online order and worldwide delivery.

To mark the launch of the new platform, Facedrive and Bel-Air Athletics (Westbrook Inc.’s sports-inspired streetwear brand) have partnered to develop an exclusive co-branded capsule collection. This limited collection is available for purchase through Facedrive Marketplace, fully integrated into the company’s website (www.facedrive.com) and Rider app.

Facedrive reports that based on the volume of inquiries received, interest in the capsule collection is projected to be extremely strong. In keeping with Facedrive’s and Bel-Air Athletics’ commitment to social and environmental responsibility, the collection is produced in North America to support job creation in the local communities. Moreover, Bel-Air Athletics is working towards manufacturing its products of 100% sustainably sourced materials by next year.

The simultaneous launch of Facedrive Marketplace and the co-branded capsule collection with Bel-Air Athletics represents the significant first step in the execution of Facedrive’s “ecosystem model”. By delivering high-value, exclusive and complementary products to its riders and drivers, the ecosystem model enables value creation for and monetization of Facedrive’s loyal and fast-growing user base.

Facedrive’s previously announced strategic investment in Westbrook in October 2019 was a fundamental precursor to the implementation of this ecosystem approach. The partnership between Facedrive and Westbrook is expected to continually deliver fresh and exciting products to be made exclusively available to users via Facedrive Marketplace. Additionally, Facedrive will receive preferential access to exclusive content and consumer products from Westbrook and its affiliates. Facedrive and Westbrook expect to be making further announcements of collaboration in the upcoming months.

“We are extremely excited to open the doors of Facedrive Marketplace. We have been inundated with inquiries about this launch, and are looking forward to providing our valued customers with exceptional service and contactless delivery,” said Facedrive’s Chairman and CEO Sayan Navaratnam.
