TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roots is hitting the road this summer with the launch of Pit Stops Summer \u201826<\/b><\/a>, a limited-edition capsule series celebrating six of Canada\u2019s most beloved roadside destinations. Designed in collaboration with Toronto-born multidisciplinary artist and illustrator, Moya Garrison-Msingwana (also known as GANGBOX<\/a>), the collection brings together fashion, food, and cultural storytelling through a uniquely Canadian lens.<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>

\nThe limited-edition series features exclusive partnerships with iconic Canadian food spots spanning from coast-to-coast, including COWS<\/a> founded in Prince Edward Island, Montreal-based La Banquise<\/a> and St-Viateur Bagel<\/a>, The Big Apple<\/a> and Webers Hamburgers<\/a> from Ontario, and Vancouver\u2019s Duffin\u2019s Donuts<\/a>. Each collaboration draws inspiration from the unique identity, visual language, and iconic menu items that have defined these beloved destinations for generations, transforming them into wearable pieces that celebrate regional pride, culinary culture, and shared nostalgia.<\/p>

\n\u201cRoots has always been part of the moments that define a Canadian summer: the road trips, the detours, and the familiar stops that become just as memorable as the destination,\u201d said Leslie Golts, Chief Marketing Officer, Roots. \u201cThese places are where memories are made with friends and family. They\u2019re part of our shared Canadian experience. Celebrating iconic Canadian food favourites and the communities behind them felt natural for Roots because they\u2019re part of our story, too.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe collection showcases an assortment of graphic crew sweatshirts, t-shirts, tote bags and baseball caps, each designed to reflect the spirit and story of its partner establishment. Through GANGBOX\u2019s signature painterly style, the capsule blends bold illustration with heritage-inspired design, capturing the essence of Canada\u2019s road trip culture\u2014from late-night snack stops to long-standing beloved local institutions.<\/p>

\nEach food stop is represented by four pieces, including made in Canada crews and t-shirts crafted from 100 per cent organic cotton, designed with a relaxed, gender-free fit that feel as good as they look.<\/p>
