"Thanks!" to T and Rose (in this post) who let us know about the following news and article from VanCityBuzz (click here to read in its entirety):J.Crew Coming to Robson Street VancouverJ.Crew has made comments in the past that they will be opening more stores in Canada next year. It's great to finally know where one will be popping up. My hope is that they will be offering their full line (not just Women's, but also Men and Crewcuts).

The Robson Street you see today will be vastly different in the next year or so as changes are coming. One of those changes is the closure of Tommy Hilfiger. It will be replaced by J.Crew. This was reported by an anonymous source to Business in Vancouver. The block between Burrard and Thurlow will be quite busy with many new retailers such as Forever 21 and a rumoured Apple Store moving in. ...
Here is the excerpt from Business in Vancouver:
Another source, who similarly did not want to be identified, said that J.Crew Group Inc. (NYSE:JCG) will soon replace the Tommy Hilfiger store across the street from the future Apple store.
We’ll have to wait to see what happens. If this is true, this will be the second J.Crew store opening up soon in Vancouver. The first one is a confirmed Pacific Centre location.
"Thanks!" to Bourbon & Pearls (in this post) who let us know the following news:
It's official, J Crew are opening a flagship on Regent St in London next year!Mickey Drexler mentioned his interest in opening a store on Regent Street back in October (refer to the "Lunch With J. Crew Mickey Drexler? Sure!" post). Although he sounded confident about the location and even hired agents to scout a location, nothing was ever confirmed. So this is exciting news!
Congrats to our JCAs in Canada & England!
Are you excited about J.Crew's newest store in Canada & England? What other international cities should J.Crew open up a store in?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get a J. Crew in Calgary!!
ReplyDeleteSqeee!! I'm so excited! On the other hand, I better start saving my lunch money, cos I KNOW I'll spend more at JC if I can see/touch/try-on an item!
ReplyDeleteI am excited, of course, especially since both stores will be within 1 km or so of each other. :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the JCAs in Canada and England! :)
ReplyDeleteGiddup! Way to go J.Crew, keep the locations coming. Betting West Ed. Mall is next and then probably Calgary.
ReplyDeleteIt could only get better with a mens' store.
jcrew guy in Canada, I spoke with sales associates at the Yorkdale store a couple weeks ago and was told a men's store is coming to Toronto next fall!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Crewcuts won't be too far behind!
Louise, like you posted yesterday, I heard from my PS that they were opening 1 store in Vancouver next year, then 1 store in Calgary in the fall. I'd be surprised if they open 2 stores in Vancouver since they only have one in Toronto, although perhaps the second store planned for Vancouver is menswear. Not saying that J.Crew is always logical of course, sometimes they seem a bit out to lunch. I guess we'll see soon enough.
ReplyDeleteXoxo: I agree that opening 2 stores in Vancouver in the most expensive retail spaces seems strange. I'll be happy with just the one...just make it really well stocked, J. Crew! :)
ReplyDeleteNow my nearest store will be 500 miles away...I'm getting there.
ReplyDeleteLouise, that's awesome news! It will be great to finally have mens in Canada.
ReplyDeleteIt was confirmed in July that J. Crew will be opening a store in West Edmonton Mall in the summer of 2012. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWow, very excited about the Robson St. Store in Vancouver. Only 30 mins away, vs. the online J.Crew shopping I do constantly. Thanks for the info.....can't wait.
