Urban Outfitters Goes Big With New NYC Store

At Urban Outfitters’ new Manhattan store, you can try on a sweater, sip on a latte and get you hair styled — all without stepping outside its walls. The specialty retailer, known for its eclectic apparel and novelty items, on Saturday opened a 57,000-square-foot store in New York City, complete with a hair salon, coffee bar and record shop. It's the latest example of the shifting retail environment, in which malls and brick-and-mortar stores are looking to reinvent themselves to ramp up foot traffic, which has taken a dive since the advent on online shopping.
