In 1995, Lucia and Jack Penrod married and the power couple continued working together to create new ventures. In 1998, Jack and Lucia Penrod opened the very first location of Nikki Beach. Today, there are 13 Nikki Beach locations, spanning countries like France, Thailand, Spain, Greece and Italy with the newest beach club in Barbados.

“I have been working alongside Jack since the very beginning and have a full understanding of the brand and our vision for the future. As we embark upon our 20th year as an iconic brand, I look forward to continuing to expand our business and our message of celebration of life around the world,” says Lucia Penrod. “Building our brand alongside my husband has been an incredible and rewarding experience. We create happiness around the world.”

“2018 marks the 20th anniversary of our brand. This milestone has inspired me to reflect on our past and look forward to what’s next for our business. The choice was an easy one as Lucia is the natural fit for the role and I have full confidence in her,” says Jack Penrod. “I know that Lucia will continue to share Nicole’s legacy with passion and drive.“
