Gymshark to open permanent New York flagship
Gymshark has revealed plans to open its first-ever flagship store in the US.
Gymshark has revealed plans to open its first-ever flagship store in the US.
The British gymwear giant‘s new store will be located at 11 Bond Street, New York.
CEO and founder Ben Francis said: “The very first event we did in real life was in a tiny 1000 square foot pop-up on Mercer Street in New York. It set the tone for so much that followed. The fact that, almost ten years later, we are preparing to open a flagship store in the city that is ten times the size of that first store absolutely blows my mind.
“New York has really become our North American home. Our headquarters are here, and to welcome so many members of the community to Lift:NY last year was incredible.
“But to have a permanent location that allows our community to train, shop and hang out, and for us to hang out with them, really takes it to another level. I can’t wait to tell you more about it and for the doors to open”.

Gymshark’s chief marketing officer, Noel Mack, also shared excitement about the announcement, saying: “Bricks & Mortar is back – and we’re super proud to announce today the Gymshark NYC Flagship store. 11 Bond Street, New York. Not bad for a bedroom brand.”
The flagship store is expected to offer fans a space to shop, train, and engage with the brand, further cementing Gymshark’s commitment to building strong connections with its community in the US.
Last month, the brand opened the doors to its first permanent store outside of the UK in The Dubai Mall.
The new store is located on the Ground floor of Dubai Mall – the second-largest mall in the world by total land area, welcoming over 54 million shoppers through its doors every year.
It is the gymwear giant’s third store, following the opening of its flagship on London’s Regent Street in October 2022, and its recent launch in the city’s Westfield Stratford City last summer.
