## Resource

Fashion brands are ditching the “more stores = more profit” model, betting big on fewer, experience-driven flagship locations that turn shopping into brand storytelling. Groupe Dynamite, behind Garage and Dynamite, is leading the charge — pouring resources into premium spots like its massive new Flatiron flagship in NYC, while closing underperforming stores. The results? A 37% revenue surge, 22% jump in comparable sales, and an 80% leap in operating income — proving that quality over quantity is winning big in today’s retail game.
