New York City — Ralph Lauren has announced plans to open 250 new stores over the next three years. These new stores comprise one aspect of the company’s plan for expansion, which also involves an omnichannel approach. “Our clear and choiceful strategies are expected to deliver sustainable long-term growth and value creation — fueled by our strong balance sheet and operating discipline — as we reinforce our position as a leading luxury lifestyle company,” says Patrice Louvet, CEO of the New York City-based company. Ralph Lauren’s new stores will be located primarily in Asia and Europe, with 15 to 20 in North America.
