UK-based Gymshark will open its first permanent U.S. location on October 11 at Roosevelt Field shopping center in Garden City, N.Y. It comes ahead of Gymshark’s flagship opening on Bond Street in the NoHo area of Manhattan later this year.
The 5,000-square-foot space will act as the “blueprint” for Gymshark’s future U.S. stores in malls and shopping centers, according to a Gymshark LinkedIn post. The store will carry the brand’s full line, along with signature areas for its shorts and leggings. In-store customers will also see Gymshark’s iconic mannequins, which are modeled after actual community members or Gymshark ambassadors.
The U.S. store opening will follow recent openings in Manchester, Dubai and Amsterdam. The company’s first store opened on London’s Regent Street in 2022. Last December, Gymshark opened a pop-up on Wooster Street in SoHo that remained open through the end of January 2025.
Hannah Mercer, general manager, wholesale and retail, at Gymshark, wrote in the LinkedIn post, “To open our first permanent store in the U.S. is a hugely significant moment for us. I’m naturally delighted about opening at such a prestigious location as Roosevelt Field and the high footfall that comes with it. However, what I’m really excited about is the fact that this store will act as the blueprint for all future stores we open here.
“It’s no secret that we learn on the job at Gymshark. To date, we’ve opened four other core stores over the past 12 months or so. What we’ve done here is look at the successes in them – such as staffing models, operational excellence optimization, the traffic and footfall, the destinations – and apply them to this. This store at Roosevelt Field will be the model for all future endeavors in malls and commercial centers to create the best shopping experience possible for our community.
“Stay tuned for more info soon.”
