Madewell to Join Country Club Plaza
International women’s apparel and accessories retailer to open on the Country Club Plaza
in August
_____________________________________________________________________
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (March 26, 2015) – Popular women’s apparel, shoes and accessories
store Madewell is coming to the Country Club Plaza. Madewell will open in August at 309
Nichols Road, occupying 3,313 square feet.
Madewell’s move to the Country Club Plaza comes on the heels of Highwoods Properties
announcing four new openings – Barton Perreira, Coveted Home, Zoës Kitchen and vineyard vines.
“We work hard to ensure the Plaza remains a favorite shopping, dining and entertainment
destination, which is why it is a priority for us to have a strong mix of exclusive, local and worldclass stores,” said Glenn Stephenson, Highwoods Properties vice president and division
manager. “Madewell is an exceptional brand, and we are confident Kansas Citians will share in
our excitement as this retailer joins the Plaza.
Madewell specializes in denim and believes that “a good day starts with great jeans.” The brand
has worked to perfect all the pieces that women wear with jeans, creating effortless “off-duty”
apparel and accessories – everything from soft tees and slouchy button-downs to classic totes
and boots. Sophisticated and fun, Madewell clothes are perfect to live, work and play in.
Madewell first opened its doors in 2006 and has since become a popular domestic brand. A
division of the J. Crew Group, Madewell currently operates 85 stores in the United States and
will be launching shipping online internationally in 2015.
