Sunglass Hut Opens New York Flagship Store

Sunglass Hut has opened a new Flagship store in New York City to provide a fun, innovative experience that celebrates fashion and shopping. Fifth Avenue passersby will be attracted by the entirely lit up building and will then be able to experience first hand an interactive motion touch screen. In addition, they'll be able to interact with additional screens inside: taking pictures of themselves, and ultimately playing them through a sensitive touch screen.

The Sunglass Hut Fifth Avenue Flagship store is 6,000 sq. ft. and spans two floors including a mezzanine level.

The ground floor features displays that will showcase the latest sunglass collections from leading brands. Full-length oversized mirrors will also allow consumers to try sunglasses on to complete their total look. The second floor, a dedicated VIP area, overlooks bustling Fifth Avenue, known for attracting global travelers and fashion focused consumers. A Sunglass Hut SocialSun station, the retailer’s proprietary interactive retail concept, will be a major feature.
