American lifestyle brand Tommy Bahama is searching for prime retail space for a flagship store in Hong Kong.
The store will be the first standalone outlet of the island-inspired fashion brand in Hong Kong.
Jones Lang LaSalle has been commissioned to search for the space. Tom Gaffney, head of retail at Jones Lang LaSalle, said the store would be the brand’s third in Asia.
“Hong Kong consumers and tourists are always interested to experience new to market brands. Tommy Bahama, like many other international brands, is looking to grow its presence globally and using Hong Kong and Macau as a launch pad for their China strategy.”
The Seattle-based retailer has just opened a flagship in Singapore and is also planning to open a flagship store and full service restaurant in Tokyo in 2013, bringing to life its unique notion to “Make Life One Long Weekend” in Asia.
“Hong Kong will be a key market as we look to expand in the region, and we believe our men’s and women’s lines, along with our accessories and home goods, will appeal to local shoppers and tourists alike,” said Brian Pearce, MD of Tommy Bahama Asia.
