British retailer Topshop is preparing for a growth spurt. Philip Green, owner of the multinational chain says that over the next nine months, his company will open five new, wholly-owned stores in the United States (San Diego, Houston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and New York). Topshop currently operates four U.S. stores in Chicago, New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. In 2015, the company will also add stores throughout Continental Europe, Hong Kong, and Mainland China, according to Women’s Wear Daily.
Scheduled to open in November, the uptown Manhattan flagship will be the second-largest Topshop in the world after London. At 40,000 square feet, it will merchandise collections from Topshop and Topman, as well as exclusive lines currently in development.
