Reiss Looks Toward International Market

Trendy fashion retailer Reiss is planning to explore the wider international market after opening its first store in Dublin late last year.

The company is using the store to judge its performance in a market where it is not well known. Owner David Reiss said its strong trading had prompted it to look further abroad, of which a decision will be made later this year.

Reiss said: "We have been approached by a French company about opening stores. We are also looking at Scandinavia and the US. The company has been working hard to develop a broader offer ahead of the international expansion, and build up the brand.

Two more London stores are set to open before the end of the year, including a prime West-End location and a standalone womenswear store in the City. This will take Reiss' UK portfolio to 28 stores.
