Agio Expanding Disney Resort Collection

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Disney Resort Collection by Agio will add another entry for next season: The Yacht Club. This third installment joins the Animal Kingdom and Grand Floridian collections which debuted at last year’s Casual Show.

The collection was inspired by Disney's Yacht Club Disney Deluxe Resort in Florida, itself reflective of an 1880s coastal New England village. Agio’s designers captured the resort’s nautical theme and picked up on the colors of formal gray and white clapboard to produce The Yacht Club’s “wood-look” treatment. The collection will include a dining, a deep seating and fire pit chat group, as well as a new bistro set with drop-in glass or stone top.

“We’re very excited about this new addition to the Disney collection,” said Doug Peppler, Agio’s vice president of sales. “From its style to its price point, this line will be right in the wheelhouse where our dealers need to be – where they can merchandise the product successfully and with good volume.”

Looking back on the debut of the Disney products, Peppler said, “I think the line surprised a lot of our dealers – surprised in a good way.” He noted that while the Yacht Club will be added, Agio had no plans on dropping any items from the returning Animal Kingdom or Grand Floridian lines.

“Our plan is to keep coming back to the dealer with the best products we can for the money,” Peppler said. “And that in turn help’s the retailer provide value, value, value to the customer.”
