GUCCI to Open Large Storefront at West Edmonton Mall
September 17, 2020
By Craig Patterson
Italian luxury brand Gucci will open at West Edmonton Mall early next year, marking a significant milestone in the shopping centre’s efforts to secure upscale tenants. It will be the third standalone storefront for Gucci in Canada as well as the only standalone location for the brand in Alberta.
The Gucci store will span more than 5,000 square feet on one level and will carry the brand’s full lines of ready-to-wear clothing for women and men as well as handbags, leather goods, footwear, accessories, and jewellery. The design of the store will reflect Gucci’s latest store design which is plush and opulent. That will include an interior featuring wood and velvet accents as well as ample use of marble flooring. Construction begins mid-October and the store is expected to open in March of 2021. Toronto-based dkstudio Architects Inc. designed the West Edmonton Mall space.
The new Gucci store will be located on West Edmonton Mall’s second level between a Louis Vuitton store which opened last year, and a Saint Laurent store that will be finished construction in November. The three powerhouse brands are part of a luxury clustering that also includes nearby storefronts for Tiffany & Co., Rolex, Canada Goose, and other pricey brands.
