This is a brand whose belief in experiential marketing is perfect for the channel; and while other toy suppliers have fallen by the wayside in the face of ecommerce competition, FAO Schwarz is going from strength to strength.” Earlier this year, FAO Schwarz partnered with Kidsland, China’s largest toy distributor and retailer with almost 200 stores; while a 27,000 square feet flagship store opened in China World Mall, Beijing.

  • Rebuilding Baltimore Under Armour Plans One of the Biggest Urban Redevelopments in U.S
    Rebuilding Baltimore Under Armour plans one of the biggest urban redevelopments in U.S. history By: Ben Johnson | February 2017 How often does a major retailer get the chance to stamp its brand on an entire city? Yet this is what Under Armour seems to be doing in Baltimore. On a large peninsula called Port Covington, along the Patapsco River, in South Baltimore, Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank is moving forward with plans for one of the largest urban redevelopments in the U.S. — in one of the country’s most economically challenged cities. This $5.5 billion redevelopment of 236 acres of derelict industrial land will include 18 million square feet of shopping, offices, hotels and attractions, plus 7,500 residences, 42 acres of public parks, some new interchanges on Interstate 95 and a spur off the city’s light-rail system. The project will also feature a 50-acre Under Armour headquarters campus. Beyond being a retail CEO, Plank is also a developer: His Sagamore Development Co. venture is spearheading the Port Covington project. As recently as December, during a keynote address at ICSC’s New York National Deal Making Conference, Plank was touting Under Armour’s success as the second-largest maker of sports apparel, after Nike, as well as the Port Covington project’s importance to Baltimore, Under Armour’s corporate home since 1998. “[Plank] is one of our biggest cheerleaders, and not only does he promote the city, but he stands behind his commitment to the city,” said Tom Fidler, an executive vice president and a principal of Baltimore-based MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services.
