Gymshark expands global presence with flagship New York store

British sportswear giant Gymshark has announced the opening of a new flagship store in New York.

The store, set to open at 11 Bond Street, will be the retailer’s fourth store and its second overseas.

Their first store outside the UK was opened last year in the UAE’s iconic Dubai Mall.

Ben Francis MBE, founder and CEO of Gymshark, said: “The very first event we did in real life was in a tiny 1000 square foot pop-up on Mercer Street in New York. It set the tone for so much that followed.

“The fact that, almost ten years later, we are preparing to open a flagship store in the city that is ten times the size of that first store absolutely blows my mind.

“New York has really become our North American home.

“Our headquarters are here, and to welcome so many members of the community to Lift:NY last year was incredible.

“But to have a permanent location that allows our community to train, shop and hang out, and for us to hang out with them, really takes it to another level.

“I can’t wait to tell you more about it and for the doors to open”.
