Ksubi will join several other retailers opening new retail formats at Melbourne Emporium.
It will become the second store to open in Australia this year this year by Ksubi, several years since closing its only store in the country. The first store opened in Sydney's Bondi Westfield just before Christmas 2023.
The influx of stores comes amid ongoing expansion plans at Emporium Melbourne. In the last 12 months, Emporium has completed 58 deals; 32 new deals, including 5 relocations and 26 renewals.
Other incoming fashion retailers include New Zealand brand Rodd & Gunn, minimalistic homewares and apparel label Hommy Hommy and fashion brand Ganni. Swiss sporting brand On Running will also open up at Emporium Melbourne - its first-ever store in Australia.
New fashion retailers in recent months include Japanese footwear label Onitsuka Tiger, footwear brand Jo Mercer, fashion brand Replay, sporting business Rebel, as well as food retailers, trying other category retailers.
Several stores have also recently undergone refurbishments at Emporium Melbourne, including Hype DC, Camper, Marimekko, Witchery and Swarovski. Sketchers have expanded itd store footprint with a wider range of styles, and M.J. Bale has relocated within the centre, along with womenswear brands Blue Illusion, Veronika Maine, and Zadig & Voltaire.
Further future relocations within the centre include Anna Thomas, Aje, Coach, Glue Store, and Lululemon.
