When it comes to expanding globally, the United States is the leader of the pack.   That’s according to CBRE Group Inc.’s 10th annual study of international retail expansion, which surveyed 166 cities across 51 countries regarding how many international retailers had debuted in their markets in 2016. The survey found that retailers’ expansion into new markets increased by 2% in 2016, down from 3.1% in CBRE’s 2015 study.    

Original Penguin has opened a pop-up in Aspen. The 800-sq.-ft. shop reflects the brand’s upcoming new store concept, which is based on a well-balanced, playful aesthetic that the company’s describes as “mid-century quirk.” At the same time, the store design is quintessentially Original Penguin with nods to the retailer’s 60 years of heritage. Walnut wood textures against crisp, white backdrops create warmer tones throughout the store.
