QUEENS, NY ― April 2, 2014 ― Retail powerhouse Queens Center today announced three top retailers – Aeropostale, American Eagle and Express – are expanding their presence at the property with new flagship stores, all set to open in 2014. Other great names slated for the center are Sephora, L’Occitane and a new, expanded Time Warner Cable store.
Flagship stores are exclusive to prominent locations, like Queens Center. A flagship location is often larger and sells more product compared to retailers' other stores. The three flagship locations are:
- Aeropostale(6,500 square feet) is a popular specialty retailer that will offer casual apparel and accessories for young men and women.
- American Eagle Outfitters with Aerie (10,000 square feet) will offer high-quality, on-trend clothing and accessories as well as personal care products for young men and women.
- Express(14,000 square feet on two levels) will deliver sophisticated, must-have fashions for work, weekends and going out for both men and women.
Sephora’s unique, open-sell environment will feature an ever-increasing amount of classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, color, fragrance, body, smilecare and haircare, in addition to Sephora's own private label. L’Occitane will offer high-quality beauty products and fragrances, developed following the principles of phytotherapy and aromatherapy. The expanded Time Warner Cable store will provide opportunity for interactive product demonstrations, enhanced customer service and more.
“Queens Center always attracts the finest names in the retail industry,” said John Scaturro, Senior Marketing Manager, Queens Center. “We continually focus on bringing new retail experiences to our shoppers, and these flagship stores represent the latest and greatest these top brands have to offer. We’re also pleased to bring new stores to our retail mix – and Sephora will be a real attraction for our shoppers.”
