DALLAS, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harold's Stores, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HRLS) (the "Company"), a chain of upscale women's and men's specialty apparel stores, announces its newest Dallas location will open on June 18. The new dual-concept store will open at Inwood Village, a lifestyle center in Dallas, Texas located near the corner of Lovers Lane and Inwood Road. The Company relocated the flagship store from nearby Highland Park Village where it has held a lease for decades and featured complete assortments for men and women, including sportswear, tailored clothing, shoes and accessories.
The new store explores a new dual-concept in which the assortments for each respective gender will operate in separate but neighboring spaces. The first of which, a 4300 square foot space, is devoted exclusively to the women's collection of apparel, jewelry, shoes and accessories, including Cole Haan. The men's assortment of classically-inspired tailored clothing, sportswear, shoes and accessories will reside a few feet away in a separate 1500 square foot space. Upscale Mexican restaurant Cantina Laredo will continue to reside between the two.
"Dallas has been a very strong market for Harold's and we are pleased with this new store in every way -- format, design, location, and the flexibility provided to showcase a more focused, cohesive assortment. Collectively, these components will allow us to deliver an enhanced customer experience and broaden our customer base in the Dallas area," said Ron Staffieri, Chief Executive Officer. The new store will open its doors on June 18 with opening events scheduled to follow as the Company is also celebrating its 60th year in business.
