In anticipation of the launch of its first New York City store in 2009, Nau will be offering its eco-friendly outdoor and urban-lifestyle apparel at 40 percent to 75 percent off regular prices. Plus, 5 percent of all sales will go to the micro-financing site Kiva, as part the Portland, Ore.-based company's program Partners for Change. Currently, Nau is distributing $161,000 to local, national, and international community partners, bringing its total largess, to date, to more than $223,000.

In the pipeline: 10 additional retail locations in cities such as Los Angeles; San Francisco; Denver; Boston; and Bethesda, Md.; as well as second stores in the existing markets of Seattle and Portland.
