Retailers around the world are striving to improve the shopping experience. While one shop may pamper customers in-store with elements such as a lounge area, another could be looking to empower customers by promoting a ‘do-it-yourself’ motto through technology.
Several retailers, such as London-based multi-brand LN-CC, are fighting their way out of the coronavirus crisis and focusing on providing unique shopping experiences for their customers. For those looking for inspiration, FashionUnited presents a series of store concepts from around the world that have opened their doors from the second half of 2023 onwards.
Patagonia
Patagonia entered the Netherlands for the first time with the opening of a store on Amsterdam’s Singelgracht. While the store looks to combine retail and community networking under one roof, the location itself is also special.
The shop is housed in the former Roxy club, a building that was once important for Amsterdam’s nightlife in the 1990s. Now, it will serve as a space for active social activities and workshops held by Patagonia. In a press release, Nina Hajikhanian, managing director of Patagonia, noted that the new Patagonia shop is “a declaration of love to the Dutch capital”.
