Forever 21 opens flagship on Fifth Avenue

Forever 21 has joined the crowded fast fashion scene on New York City’s Fifth Avenue by opening a new 36,000 square foot flagship store.

The store is spread out over four floors and will carry Forever 21 Men, Forever 21+, F21 Contemporary, basics, denim and shoes.

The new flagship takes over the site of a former H&M store, which closed in December a few months after the opening of its own new flagship on 48th Street.

"We are very proud to continue our expansion and open our fifth store in New York City,” said Forever 21 Vice President of Merchandising Linda Chang. “This new store will offer our customers a wide selection of on-trend merchandise at a great value in the heart of New York City."

Forever 21 also has locations in New York City at Herald Square, Union Square, Times Square and in Soho.

The opening on Fifth Avenue brings Forever 21's presence in the United States to more than 480 stores, while the brand counts more than 680 stores in 45 countries worldwide.
