F21 Red Opening 40 New Stores

Forever 21 (Los Angeles) announced that it will open more than 40 F21 Red units this year, more than doubling the brand’s fleet.

The first stores in this new wave of openings will be located in New York’s Bronx neighborhood; San Antonio, Texas; and Chicago. According to Women’s Wear Daily, there is potential for the brand to grow as large as the company’s flagship chain, which operates more than 500 units.

F21 Red caters to budget-conscious shoppers and, since its debut in 2014, has expanded its style and merchandise offerings for the entire family. F21 Red units are mainly located in strip centers, but the company is evaluating other options.
