Pixel Union Empire Shopify Theme

Pixel Union is a leading design agency and software developer specializing in high-quality commerce solutions. Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, the company established itself as a premier partner for the Shopify platform by creating best-selling themes such as 'Empire'. The brand originally focused on Tumblr and WordPress themes before pivoting to dominate the Shopify ecosystem.

Over the years, Pixel Union has undergone significant organizational growth and consolidation. In 2019, it merged with Out of the Sandbox under the holding company WeCommerce. This collective focus aimed to create a powerhouse of tools for Shopify merchants. By 2023, following a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions, the brand became part of the Tiny Ltd. umbrella after Tiny merged with WeCommerce, forming a major public-listed entity in the technology sector.
