\n\tMany native New Yorkers can probably say with confidence that their grandparents and even great grandparents have been captivated by the Abc Carpet & Home<\/a> retail<\/a> experience at some point in history. Now that enchanting charm has expanded to another New York City location.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe firm told WWD that it opened a temporary store, its first in Manhattan, located on the northeast corner of 59th Street and Park Avenue, at the heart of New York City\u2019s luxury shopping district. Opening temporary spaces in seasonally relevant markets is part of a broader retail<\/a> strategy for possible expansion, the firm said, adding that the NYC space will stay open through early January 2026, though that date is flexible.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt allows us to be closer to our loyal uptown customers who don\u2019t come downtown as often. Its proximity to the D&D building<\/a> [home to more than 100 showrooms] was really perfect because it was a natural hub for the trade and design<\/a> community and it\u2019s an opportunity to see how customers want to experience Abc going forward,\u201d Suki LaBarre, Abc Carpet & Home\u2019s vice president of merchandising told WWD in an interview.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 505 Park Avenue location is not the first pop-up. In the spring of 2025, Abc Carpet & Home <\/a>opened the doors to its Greenwich, Conn. shop, located in the city\u2019s popular shopping promenade Greenwich Avenue. Shortly after, the company opened its Southampton summer pop-up on Pond Lane.<\/p>\n

\n\tAbc, which started in 1897 with a pushcart selling carpets in the Lower East Side, moved to its Flatiron District address on 888 Broadway in 1961. Known for creating a magical experience, the physical space houses a restaurant alongside its emporium of accessories, decor and furnishings. Abc Carpet & Home was bought by 888 Capital Partners, a private investment group, in 2021. Since the start, the investment group has been focused on expanding the business and its digital footprint, explained LaBarre.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe were hyper-focused on strengthening our online channel and we\u2019re still very focused on digital growth. But this [the pop-up] was the next phase of reintroducing Abc to the world and giving other areas a taste of what we have at our 888 flagship location,\u201d she said, emphasizing that while expansion is on the firm\u2019s radar, there are no plans at the moment.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are looking to expand but nothing concrete. I don\u2019t have a store rollout to share\u2026but so far, the latest year of pop-ups has been very successful and I think Abc probably more than the average brand is one you really need to feel.\u201d<\/p>\n
