Gilly Hicks has opened the doors to its new Carnaby Street flagship store in London, marking the fashion retailer’s first UK standalone store.

The lingerie brand is owned by Abercrombie & Fitch, which also operates Hollister, and it specialises in women’s intimates and loungewear, competing with Victoria’s Secret.

The flagship on 39 Carnaby Street is of the brand’s growth strategy to expand its product assortment, enhance its digital experience, and its “reimagined brand purpose” as it moves to become more gender-inclusive.

The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant. I'm proud to say that after almost six months of planning, many roadblocks, and countless pivots — all while maintaining our day-to-day restaurant operatio...
