DBG forecasts over $1.5
million per store or $75
million annually in revenues over entire store fleet
AUSTIN,
Texas, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Digital Brands Group, Inc. ("DBG") (NASDAQ:
DBGI), a curated collection of luxury lifestyle,
digital-first brands, today announces that it plans to open 50
retail stores over the next several years, which will be funded by
its internal free cash flow. DBG has been reviewing store locations
and leases with several large-scale retail developers.
DBG believes retail stores will drive significant brand
awareness, lower cost customer acquisition and higher average
basket size and customer retention. Based on the store
metrics in these developments, DBG forecasts the stores to generate
over $1.5 million annually per store
with positive store level cash flow. Based on the 50 store
openings, DBG forecasts the fleet of stores should generate over
$75 million annually in revenues and
meaningful store level cash flow.
"We are excited to announce the retail store phase of our growth
strategy. We believe the best performing retail brands will have
three legs to their growth story: (1) wholesale, (2) e-commerce and
(3) retail stores. We believe these stores will also drive revenue
in our wholesale and e-commerce channels based on data from other
brands who have opened retail stores," said Hil Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Digital
Brands Group.
