Forever 21

On April 21, 1984, shortly after moving to American from Korea, Do Wong Chang, along with his wife Jin Sook opened their first store, titled Forever 21 in a low-income part of Los Angeles.(Retrieved from WhippedStyle on May 14th, 2012). Forever 21 is a store that every gal has been to and can appreciate when they are on a tight budget. Known for its trendy high-end designer-inspired clothes at extremely affordable prices! Forever 21 is taking over the world.(Retrieved from WhippedStyle on May 14th, 2012). With 477 stores in 15 countries (and they plan to expand to at least five more countries this year), the chain is quickly taking over the urban-trendy fashion market. Some of its stores are even located in the most high-end, ritzy areas including Fifth Avenue in New York where you can find a 96,000 sq. ft Forever 21, London’s ultra-fab Oxford Street, and the infamous Las Vegas strip where they sit pretty in a store that’s a whopping 127,000 sq ft. (Retrieved from WhippedStyle on May 14th, 2012). With plans to expand to even more countries, and open up at least 75 more stores within the next year and also create a more exclusive, couture line to carry in its stores, I think it’s safe to say that Forever 21 is a store that we will be able to appreciate for a long time.
