VICTORIA SECRET’S Massive New Store

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

The lingerie company just bought out high-end retailer (and celeb favorite) Lounge from its Broadway location between Prince and Houston in order to create a 24,000 square-foot superstore next year.

The sprawling new space will be twice as large as the current Victoria Secret store on Broadway near Prince Street. Lounge has closed and will re-open at the Aventura Mall in Miami.

URBAN OUTFITTERS Launches New Concept Stores in Brooklyn and Chicago

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Urban Outfitters has come up with a new retail concept dubbed “We The Free” - which features a super casual “spin-off” of their Free People brand.

Last December Urban Outfitters debuted the vintage styled collection both online and in select Free People stores, where it has been highly acclaimed by customers abroad - resulting in its own retail store.

The Brooklyn location is only 500 square feet and can be found along Smith Street, while Chicago’s North Milwaukee Avenue location boasts a 800 square foot space. Urban Outfitters plans on opening third location on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood at the end of November.

We The Free” features price ranges from $68 -$108, and features classic boy crewneck T-shirts in various styles along with various sweaters & fleeces. Prices for knit pieces will run you anywhere from $188 up to $248 for a Polar fleece mixed bomber style print jacket with snap closure. Shoppers at “We The Free” can also use an Apple computer in the store to check their emails, blog, or listen to music.
