33 Top Shopify Plus Stores

Started in a small garage in the UK, Gymshark is today a leading fitness apparel and accessories brand.

As they gained popularity and started getting millions of site visitors to their Magento ecommerce website (which cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars to build, BTW), they quickly realized that the existing solution was not good enough. The website crashed during Black Friday - the most significant sale season of the year, and the company lost an estimated $100,000+ in sales. Gymshark quickly re-platformed with Shopify to start scaling on demand.

Allbirds is an American footwear and clothing brand. Within the first two years of its inception, the company clocked a billion-dollar valuation.

The brand sells its products exclusively on its Shopify-powered website and in its retail stores (through Shopify’s POS).

In short, Shopify allowed them to become the omnichannel retailer they wanted to be. Travis Boyce, the Head of Global Retail Operations at Allbirds, praised Shopify for it: “With Shopify Plus, we have our point-of-sale and ecommerce systems under one umbrella, which serves our ultimate purpose of being an omnichannel retailer and viewing the customer as one customer—no matter where they shop with us.”

A year before Simba Sleep was founded, in 2014, David Wolfe and Jamie Diamonstein launched Leesa to sell high-quality mattresses online. Their first successful product was a “Universal Adaptive Feel” mattress. Since then, the company has created many award-winning mattresses.

The story of Leesa choosing Shopify Plus as their ecommerce platform is interesting and worth knowing if you are thinking of custom building your store.

Wolfe and the team initially custom-developed an ecommerce platform for Leesa, but just a few months before launching, they scrapped the custom-built site. They had burnt a lot of cash developing it and realized they’d be burning a lot more fixing bugs. Here’s what Wolfe said to Shopify: “Without Shopify, we would’ve run out of money before launching. Instead of selling mattresses we would have been fixing bugs but Shopify fixed the bugs for us.”

Bombas sells high-quality socks, t-shirts, underwear, and more through its Shopify Plus website. Among other things, the brand is known for supporting the underprivileged.

The brand gained massive popularity after it appeared on the American business reality TV show Shark Tank, where it raised $200,000.

Before Shopify, Bombas ran on Magento. Unfortunately, their Magento website crashed twice—once during their Shark Tank episode premiere and then again when the episode re-ran. Why? Simply because they couldn’t scale on demand. After moving to Shopify, they solved scaling issues and saved close to $100,000 in platform costs.
