Graeme Moore, the head of the ANZ region for Salomon, launched Salomon’s first flagship store in Sydney, Australia, located at The Galeries.
“This space offers a premium and immersive brand experience, where guests can explore the very best of Salomon — from our most pinnacle sportstyle expression of our Advanced collection to our cutting-edge performance innovations in S/Lab,” Moore said in a LinkedIn post. “Designed to bring to life our vision of being the modern mountain sports lifestyle brand, the store is more than a retail space; it’s a place to connect, build communities and inspire everyone to become the best version of themselves through mountain sports.”
Moore also thanked the Salomon cross-functional retail team led by Alex Morgan for delivering the store experience.
Chicago Store on Deck
In other Salomon retail news, the brand also announced plans to open its first brand store in the Chicago metropolitan area on August 27 in Bucktown.
Salomon is replacing a storefront formerly occupied by Arc’teryx, which is also owned by Salomon-parent Amer Sports. Arc’teryx moved to suburban Rosemont in May.
The store will include “Salomon’s Sportstyle and performance products,” as well as be available as a “community hub” to include a pop-up coffee bar and lounge space, according to a media release.
Salomon opened its first U.S. store in New York City last October.
