Scotch & Soda will open dozens of stores worldwide

By the end of the year, it will open 22 stores in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States.

The Amsterdam-based fashion brand Scotch & Soda plans to expand its retail network by opening 15 free-standing stores and seven corners in large stores. The openings will take place in Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, and the Middle East.

Scotch & Soda also plans to open physical stores in key cities in the country. 

According to CEO Frederick Lukoff, despite the “challenges posed by the retail pandemic,” the company “continues to expand our retail network globally, strengthening our presence in existing markets and entering new ones, such as China.
