Allbirds, a purveyor of shoes and apparel, has announced its plans to open its first store in Greenwich in May.
As a certified B Corp, Allbirds is dedicated to making the most sustainable products possible, using premium natural materials.
Allbirds has roots in New Zealand and their headquarters is in San Francisco.
Since 2016, they’ve been on a mission to prove that comfort, design, and sustainability aren’t mutually exclusive. They believe that the fashion industry should focus less on flash and more on thoughtfulness.
Allbirds will operate at 340 Greenwich Avenue, between Gregorys Coffee and RH, which is the space many longtime residents remember was home to the Korean Market, and more recently to The Cashmere Sale and prior to the, a Tesla Gallery.
“We are very excited about opening in Connecticut. It’s been on our wish list for some time now, and we think it will be a perfect community for us to join,” Lee Price, Allbirds’ director of global communications said in a statement. “We already have a lot of customers in the area through our website.”
Prince said the company expects the local store will “amplify” existing customers’ Allbirds experience, and referred to Greenwich’s growing population who commute into New York, where the company already has a strong presence.
The store is hiring according to online hiring sites.
Allbirds operates over 50 stores in the United States. In New York City they have locations in the Flatiron District, SoHo, and Columbus Ave on the Upper West Side.
