Each new store will offer more than 250 Princess Polly apparel looks, and over 200 accessories and footwear styles. The walls will be donned with selfie mirrors and colorful digital screens to bring the spaces to life, elevating them beyond the typical retail experience. Stores will host exclusive influencer events showcasing the latest trends and fashion, alongside evergreen customer-focused events designed to further grow the brand’s connection with its new communities beyond the digital world.

"Our U.S. customers have fully embraced our first Princess Polly store in Los Angeles, and we are excited to expand into new cities on the West and East coasts,” said Eirin Bryett, co-CEO of Princess Polly. "True to the Princess Polly identity, the new stores will feature fun and engaging displays, and countless must-have looks and styles, evoking an overall sense of boldness and excitement.”

The beloved Gen Z brand will be making its brick-and-mortar debuts in Scottsdale’s Fashion Square, San Diego’s Fashion Valley, Boston’s Newbury Street, Santa Clara’s Valley Fair and the Irvine Spectrum Center this fall. Each store will have exciting opening day events for customers with prizes to be won and freebies up for grabs. In an effort to connect with the brand’s robust student customer base, Princess Polly will also embark on roadshows to each location’s nearby college campuses and student hot spots for giveaways and exclusive tokens that can only be redeemed in-store.

“Growing Princess Polly’s physical retail footprint across the U.S. reflects our commitment to listening to our customers and delivering an unmatched in-store customer experience,” said Wez Bryett, co-CEO of Princess Polly. “Princess Polly is a high-growth global brand that’s capturing the attention of more and more loyal customers, and we view these store openings as an opportunity to introduce new customers to our in-person brand experience. The five new stores will give fans a chance to touch and feel our products and to physically interact with the brand they’ve come to love online.”
