Calypso Outlines Expansion Plans

Long Island City, N.Y.-based CALYPSO St. Barth Inc., a division of Solera Capital LLC, plans to double its current store base of 27 units, with six new stores slated to open in 2011, according to www.wwd.com. A 2,400-sq.-ft. unit at 900 Madison Ave., between 72nd and 73rd streets, is scheduled to open in July 2011. A Calypso Home store launched April 28 in Dallas at the Plaza at Preston Center, and another unit will open at the Scottsdale Quarter in Scottsdale, Ariz., on May 12. “When we bought Calypso, the footprint was heavy in the Northeast,” said Molly Ashby,
