“We know that in intimate apparel specifically, because fit and comfort are so important, there are just customers who don’t feel comfortable purchasing online and they want to be able to go physically try the product on, touch, feel, make sure they found the right size and the right fit for them,” Pendarvis told Bloomberg. “So retail is an important part of our growth strategy.”
Victoria’s Secret currently operates close to 1,400 retail stores worldwide. In addition to its store expansion, Savage X Fenty operates a robust digital business.
