Kim Kardashian is bringing her Skims empire to Chicago!
According to Crain's, the celebrity and entrepreneur plans to open the first-ever Chicago storefront for her shapewear brand at 1000 N. Rush St. While an official opening date has yet to be announced, the store’s arrival will mark a significant expansion for the brand.
The Gold Coast corridor—where the new store will reportedly debut—is already a prime shopping destination, home to luxury retailers such as Cartier, Dior, Glossier, Lululemon and Versace. Skims' presence in this high-end district suggests the brand is positioning itself alongside some of the world’s most recognizable fashion names.
Skims has already established a strong retail presence in major U.S. cities, including Austin, Los Angeles, Houston and New York. The Chicago location will further cement its status as a powerhouse in the fashion and shapewear industries, offering locals and tourists a dedicated space to shop its best-selling collections.
For now, Chicagoans can find a limited selection of Skims products at Nordstrom, but with the arrival of a standalone store, fans can expect a much broader range of offerings. And knowing Kardashian, the launch could happen sooner than expected.
