Polo Ralph Lauren is planning to open its first company-owned stores in mainland China. Roger Farah, president, told analysts the brand was looking for store locations not only in the fashion capitals of Beijing and Shanghai, but in other Chinese cities. “A lot of second- and third-tier cities are now beginning to gel and exhibit customer demand, and so we are going to have to look at those at the same time we’re looking at the primary cities for key locations,” Mr Farah said.
