Arc'teryx Expands with New Flagship Store in New York City
Sep/10/2024
Arc’teryx, a leader in technical outdoor gear, has taken a bold step in expanding its U.S. presence with the launch of its largest store to date, located at 580 Broadway in New York City. This flagship store showcases the brand's full product range, including both new and refurbished items, and features its inaugural in-store Regear section. Beyond retail, the store integrates experiential offerings, like a café and a service center modeled after the brand's Canadian manufacturing facility, reinforcing Arc'teryx's commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
The new Arc’teryx flagship in New York is more than just a retail space; it’s a comprehensive brand experience. Spanning two levels, the store is designed to immerse customers in both the innovative and sustainable ethos of the company. Upstairs, shoppers can browse the brand’s Veilance and mainline collections, while the lower level features the Rebird service center, offering repairs, technical product education, and customization options. The Regear shop allows customers to purchase pre-owned items, a first for Arc’teryx stores, underscoring its dedication to circular fashion. The café adds another layer of engagement, inviting customers to connect over coffee and discuss their shared love of the outdoors.
This opening marks a significant milestone for Arc’teryx as it continues to expand its footprint, both in the U.S. and globally. The Broadway store is strategically positioned to enhance brand visibility in one of the world’s most competitive retail markets. Chief Commercial Officer Delaney Schweitzer highlights the store as a "hub for our community" and a reflection of the brand’s evolution. Arc’teryx’s parent company, Amer Sports, has ramped up its direct-to-consumer strategy, with Arc’teryx leading the charge. With plans to open 30 new stores in 2024, Arc’teryx is positioned for continued growth, following its 45% revenue surge in 2023. The company’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and community engagement positions it well in an increasingly eco-conscious consumer landscape.
