Topshop Plans American Invasion

• November 29, 2007

Topshop, the British fast-fashion retailing phenomenon, is planning a U.S. invasion, reports Women's Wear Daily.

It had previously announced plans for three stores in Manhattan, with the first Topshop/Topman scheduled to open in September. But plans are now in the works for a number of other locations as well, including flagships on the West Coast, and other units in Las Vegas, Miami and Boston.

The company is also eyeing Paris, Milan, and India--and is also considering South Africa, Australia and Brazil. Currently, Topshop has 325 stores in the U.K., and 100 overseas.
