"This is the best Urban Outfitters has ever been"

Amsterdam - "It’s never easy for us to find the right store locations," said Claire Arksey, Retail Director for Urban Outfitters to FashionUnited from the sofa of the retailer's latest flagship store, in Utrecht, the Netherlands. However, the US retailer is one of few who can afford to be selective when it comes to its store locations. Last quarter saw the US-based company post record sales of 763 million US dollars in addition to improved gross profit margins, as demand for Urban Outfitters, as well as it's big sister labels Anthropologie and Free People continues to increase. Which is why Richard Hayne, Chief Executive Officer of Urban Outfitters aims to open a total of 24 new stores for the year, including the UO store in Utrecht.
