Americans have a reputation for liking things super-sized and it seems that their high street shops are no exception, as Topshop has today announced plans to open a 40,000 square foot flagship store on New York's Fifth Avenue this autumn.
Plently of room to swing a cat, then, but not quite enough to swing the accolade of biggest Topshop store that honour stays with the iconic London flagship (only five minutes walk from the ELLE office, and very convenient of a lunchtime), which comes in at a whopping 90,000 square feet.
Elsewhere, Topshop's expansion continues apace, with 15 more stores in 8 countries set to open over the next six months. So if you're still waiting for a local Toppers, it might well be on the way.
