While New York retail has not regained the pre-Covid momentum, with vacancy and footfall rates below 2019 levels, mind Retail reports that in-store experience remains the priority for many retailers. We give a selection of the most prominent flagships in Manhattan, and their predictions for the retail of tomorrow.
Golden Goose
On 15 January 2023, the “store tour” begins in the Soho district (468 Broome Street) at Golden Goose (2021 turnover of €386 million, up by 45%). Named “Forward Store”, this trainer store offers a futuristic design, opened at the end of November 2022. With 520 sq.m on 2 floors, this is the brand’s second sustainable store, after opening in Milan at the beginning of 2022. The service focuses on in-store reparability. With green walls, Golden Goose, whose new products are now all Cradle-to-Cradle certified (or C2C, the international certification of reference in terms of the circular economy, awarded by the C2CPII), has above all chosen to be a laboratory, with an specific customisation of products alongside an ecological ambition.
