World Group's off-price arm &Bridge tests a mall pop-up in Yokohama
AndBridge, World Group's excess-inventory format, has opened a temporary womenswear-led store inside a Yokohama shopping centre's event space rather than a standalone site — a small but telling test of how a major Japan apparel group works through surplus stock.
AndBridge, the off-price retail subsidiary of World Group, opened a temporary store on 10 August inside Seibu Higashi-Totsuka Shopping Centre in Yokohama, according to a company release. The roughly 114-tsubo (about 377 sqm) shop occupies an event space on the mall building's fourth floor and will run for a limited period, though the company did not specify a closing date.
