Ashley Stewart Opens Concept Store

Plus-size retailer Ashley Stewart (Secaucus, N.J.) has opened its first-ever concept store, “The Ashley Stewart Lab,” in Newark, N.J.

The 4500-square-foot store includes a social lounge, large fitting rooms that lead to a runway lounge, and a curated selection of Ashley's favorite non-apparel brands, according to a press release.

“We are particularly excited for Ashley Stewart's return to Newark,” says Nicole Goodman, Ashley Stewart Newark manager. “In many ways Ashley is reconnecting with a good friend from the past, and we are thrilled to give her something to talk about with this new store concept.”

The Newark location is the brand’s 90th store.
