Valero Enterprises continues Expansion of Paul Frank brand

In the past few months, Valero Enterprises has continued its expansion of the Paul Frank brand.

Valero has signed new licensees in categories including apparel, bedding, bath, accessories, sporting goods, collectibles, HBA, social expressions and tech. Valero Enterprises is looking to relaunch, revamp and reimagine the Paul Frank brand for Gen Z with the new owners Futurity Brands. 

Paul Frank, which has been a long time licensing icon, is also refreshing it’s well established appeal with the highly sought after 18-32 demographic. While attracting both existing and new customers, Valero Enterprises continues to sign top licensees in multiple categories, creating an exciting new statement for the brand. The whimsical, fun filled world of Paul Frank and it’s 150 characters including its iconic Julius the Monkey, will also be expanding into products targeting the children’s market for ages 2 – 12 in categories including toys, publishing, room decor, party goods and novelties. 

Each new collection will be targeted at these important demographics with customized artwork and designs focusing on current trends. “This is a new direction, but still very much true to the established Paul Frank brand. We are really listening to each of these demographics and creating a brand direction specific to them,” says Valéro. 

Known as one of the strongest evergreen properties, Paul Frank has an impressive 1.46M social social media following in the US alone. Additional events and promotions are planned throughout 2021 and 2022 to support the brands efforts with Paul Frank licensed products being promoted across consumer facing retail initiatives at both Forever 21 and Hot Topic. According to Susan Valero, “We are entering into a new and expansive era of what the Paul Frank brand means to the consumer public.
