Williams-Sonoma grows Australian presence
Williams-Sonoma will further expand in Australia with more stores to open in Melbourne and Sydney.
The Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids and West Elm will open in Chatswood Chase, Sydney in August and Chadstone Shopping Centre Melbourne later this year or early 2015.
“We are excited to continue our global expansion in Australia,” says Laura Alber, president and chief executive officer, Williams-Sonoma. “When we opened our stores in Bondi Junction last year it was the first time we had showcased all four brands together side-by-side. We plan to replicate this in Chadstone shopping centre where all four stores will also be inter-connected, the first time we have done this anywhere in the world. All four brands will also have stores in Chatswood Chase, making it easier for our customers to shop and mix and match products to create a complete home.
“We look forward to sharing our exceptional home furnishings along with unique in-store experiences and outstanding customer service with more Australian customers who want to decorate, entertain and live well.”
Williams-Sonoma opened its first Australian stores for Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, and West Elm in Oxford Street Mall, Bondi Junction in May 2013 and another West Elm store at 464 Chapel Street, South Yarra in September 2013.
