SUKOSHI, a prominent retailer specializing in cosmetics and skincare from Asia, is establishing a new flagship location on New York City's Upper East Side this September. This outlet is reported to be the most extensive of its kind within the city.
Founded in 2018, SUKOSHI has experienced considerable growth, with this New York site becoming its fifteenth. The brand plans to surpass twenty locations by the conclusion of the year. The company's merchandising strategy is distinguished by an extensive inventory that includes over two hundred brands.
Beyond retail, SUKOSHI functions as an accelerator for beauty brands seeking to enter the North American market. Its services include distribution, marketing support, and exclusive launch partnerships. An example of this is retailer's partnership with RED CHAMBER and Girlcult, two brands that will make their highly anticipated North American debuts exclusively in SUKOSHI stores.
