monarch Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 ^^^ jesus christ! all of this talk concerning ROD and the such, is making me want to quickly head over to AMORINO GELATO. i simply cannot venture forth to ROD without stopping in and indulging myself completely. additionally, @DevelopmentX much obliged, per all of the invaluable insight concerning our top retail establishments. it would be utterly MAGNIFICENT if RH could bring their totally cool and trendy "GUESTHOUSE" concept to H-TOWN.

Skyboxdweller Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I don't think the walk from east to west under 610 is difficult at all. I walk to Target, ROD, Central Market and Highland Village from my base in Four Leaf Towers. It would be nice if the space under the freeway was occupied by flower stalls , but this isn't Paris or Amsterdam or Mexico City and people in their cars in Houston are in inert bubbles and rarely acknowledge that there is a world outside the interior of their SUVs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) On 2/28/2020 at 1:53 PM, DevelopmentX said: The truth is not quite as dramatic as some here have expressed. The Galleria is still the retail behemoth for the area of the State. However, security issues and the nature of a shopper population that might just walk the mall to escape bad weather or to celebrate a Quincenara is not the target market for most of the exclusive brands. Simon, which owns the Galleria still has deep pocket books and has actually "poached" Tom Ford and Akris from not only ROD but also their sister property in Atlanta - Buckhead Atlanta- by opening the check book and building new stores and offering free or discounted rent. I have spoken to sales staff and management at both stores as well as several other luxury stores that opened in the Galleria over the last two years- no one wantsa to be in the Galleria. Unless you're luxury business is based upon perfume, sunglasses and handbags- the majority of the clientele (including international visitors) are not focused don high-end clothing. Reality suggests otherwise. No one is being forced to be in the Galleria, and yet, there remains the largest concentration of luxury retail in Texas. On 2/28/2020 at 1:53 PM, DevelopmentX said: The challenge from what I've heard about luxury brands weighing whether to open at ROD or The Galleria has to do with "conversion" rates. What % of consumers who visit a shop at ROD convert into an actual sale vs. stores at the Galleria. The Galleria still wins this battle- primarily because it is the established game in town. Business travelers form overseas know that they can pick up a luxury watch at the Galleria easily. One stop shopping. The brands at ROD have worked hard to establish their own clientele. Obviously, HERMES is an excellent example of a brand that does not rely upon foot traffic. True destination retail. That is what ROD does best. Security is also much more controlled at ROD. I think the success or failure of brands at both ROD or The Galleria depends upon the strength of the brand. Contrary to Trae's theory that the luxury retail customer doesn't go to the Galleria. They clearly do. Thank you. Edited March 9, 2020 by Houston19514 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 On 2/28/2020 at 1:53 PM, DevelopmentX said: If I were Simon- I would purchase ROD and co-market the two properties and own the market long term. It happened in Atlanta- remember Phipps Plaza which was the luxury competitor to Lenox Mall. Simon took them over and formatted accordingly- driving traffic between properties. Long term it makes the best sense. Or JP Morgan strikes a deal for Simon to manage property at some point. I know of at least 6 luxury stores that would exist the Galleria ASAP and move to ROD is they could and if they could increase conversion rate of foot traffic. Again, no one is forcing them to stay in The Galleria, and.. they want to leave the Galleria and move to ROD . . . "if they could increase conversion rate of foot traffic"?? Are you saying they would like to move from the Galleria to ROD but don't because they won't do as good of business in ROD? If that is the case, in what sense do they "want" to relocate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, in what sense do they "want" to relocate? Hi 😀, I used to work at a luxury store in the Galleria. While the galleria does have a lot of foot traffic and obviously good for business, a lot of stores have trackers that count the amount of people in the store and corporate uses these numbers to see if their product is selling relative to the amount of people in the store. It was always BAD in terms of some of the other stores in the nation (yes those stores were in big cities too) with hundreds of people coming into the store just to take pictures and mess up merchandise. Also, from personal contact with the store managers of Carolina Herrera, Fendi, and Valentino, I can tell you that they considered moving to the ROD. The idea that some of these stores have is "most of their clientele specifically come to shop at their store, why not personalize the experience by taking the mall aspect out of the equation." A lot of clientele avoided coming to our store because of parking issue, how busy it is, and the safety of walking back to your car with your stuff. A trip can easily take half an hour just to get into the store vs literally minutes at ROD. These specific reasons are the reason why the store I used to work at and stores like Versace, Prada, etc used to do "showcasing" where we'd take all our new products and go to some of the clients homes. This and many more reasons is why some stores looked to ROD. I know Tom Ford moved to the galleria from ROD, but that could be because it doesn't have frequent clienteles to buy suits.

Yes, of course a bunch “looked” at moving but from the Galleria to ROD. But at the end of the day, how many made the move? Did anyone? As for showcasing, that is not unique to Galleria stores. That is done by high end stores all over the country (and no doubt the world) for their best customers, and I’m quite certain at least some of the stores at ROD do it too.

My attitude towards a trip to the Galleria is “Oh crap, I have to go to The Galleria.” It has been expressed, by the Uptown management group, to a client of mine in the galleria area that the BRT is supposed to alleviate that "Oh crap" feeling almost completely during the normal course of the year, and quite a bit during Christmas. My initial thought tho is that all these entities, Uptown Park, Galleria, the Whole Foods Development, the Dicks strip, etc, are possessive enough about their parking that I don't know how happy they will be that people will park at their place, initially go into their store, do some shopping, put stuff in the car, and then get on the bus to go to another development. If the BRT can somehow elevate the general experience of going to the galleria, primarily by helping congestion or parking, it would be a big boon. And those businesses, including the Galleria, that sat through the construction deserve it. Edited March 11, 2020 by X.R. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Retail Roundup: Luxe bookstore Assouline enters Houston; Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, more open in Galleria Enlarge Assouline opened its first Texas location in Houston's River Oaks District. MARCUS PONTELLO By Laura Gillespie – Reporter, Houston Business Journal a day ago The pandemic hasn't stopped luxury retailers from opening new stores in Houston, with a number of luxury goods now available in some of Houston's hottest shopping districts. River Oaks District adds new-to-Houston bookstore Assouline, a luxury coffee table bookstore, opened in River Oaks District. It’s the company’s first Southwest store and spans 1,500 square feet. The store's books, which showcase art, fashion, photography, travel and more, range in price up to $12,000 — its most expensive is a book on Robert Polidori photography and Ignasi Monreal illustrations called “AlUla.” The store also sells gifts and furniture. “We are thrilled to welcome Assouline to River Oaks District. This marks a milestone for both Assouline and the District by being the brand’s first boutique to open in the Southwest region,” said John Pearson, River Oaks District’s marketing director. “Assouline is an important addition to our diverse collection of retailers and experiences that we are continually evolving to create a unique shopping and lifestyle destination.” The Galleria opens Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, more The Galleria is opening a slew of new stores. Louis Vuitton Men’s, Moncler and Rag & Bone — all first-to-Houston stores — will come to level one soon. Louis Vuitton Men’s and Moncler will open this summer between Galleria Financial Center and Neiman Marcus, while Rag & Bone is coming soon near Saks Fifth Avenue. Moncler, a French-Italian apparel manufacturer, sells down jackets and sportswear. Rag & Bone, a New York City-founded apparel company, sells contemporary, everyday wear. Giorgio Armani also opened an interim boutique, with the latest concept from the legendary Italian brand coming later this fall. It’s in level two, between the Galleria Financial Center and Neiman Marcus. Also recently, John Varvatos opened its only Houston location on level one, near the Orange Garage entrance, while Valentino renovated its flagship boutique on level one near Neiman Marcus. Vivaldi Music Academy opens fourth location Vivaldi Music Academy, one of the fastest-growing private companies in Houston, will open its fourth location at Sugar Land Town Square, joining locations in West University, Bellaire and Memorial. The 2,500-square-foot space at 2115 Lone Star Drive replaces a Sessions Music. It offers classes for ages four and up in cello, drum, flute, clarinet, guitar, piano, viola, violin and voice, with early childhood music classes, group guitar and a children’s choir. The school is led by violinist Zeljko Pavlovic, a regular performer with the Houston Symphony. “We are excited to bring our world-class faculty and performance opportunities to the Sugar Land community,” said Pavlovik. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
