Joe Fresh considering New York location
While Canadians await American cheapo chain Target, New Yorkers looking for a taste of Canadian style (you know, besides all the urban lumberjacks running around Manhattan) could soon get their very own Joe Fresh store. According to the New York Post, the Loblaw-owned retailer is rumoured to be the front runner for retail space at 5th and 43rd in New York City, with the North Face and the NBA store also bidding for a spot in the 29,000-square-foot triplex.
Right around the corner from the old New York fashion week stomping ground of Bryant Park, Joe Fresh would be a good distance (20 blocks, to be exact) from more upscale retailers like Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, but the free-standing store will have come a far way from the frozen food–adjacent racks at the Superstore if the deal goes through. Finally, a chance for Torontonians to reverse that often heard New York line: “Actually, we had it here first.”

Never can understand the fascination with this Joe Fresh place… awful…cheap..tacky..poorly sewn… NYC deserves MORE!!!
i fully agree…thoroughly underwhelming
totally agree. the stuff is crap. new yorkers know better. joe who?
there are a lot of stupid people who shop @ H&M and Target in NY. It is the same crap just a different pile. I whole world deserves better.

totally agree with above. Joe Fresh is cheaply made, horrible quality, terribly sewn and clothes that fall apart easily. I know from experience and will never support it again….and his ad campaigns are a total rip off from Gap. wow, how original.
there is no Neimans in NYC
Woah, easy there tigers. It’s better quality than H&M and Forever 21, and the style is always classy and trendy. Not to mention a great place to get basic every season. I think Joe can take on Manhattan. Go get em!
I think Joe will do fine in NYC. Not that he is Canadian because the price is soooo cheap. The problem with cheap clothes is that they are soooo cheap. The wash like shit and they are disposable. That is the problem. Over consumption of cheap goods.
