Century 21 tries out smaller stores

Off-price retailer Century 21 Stores operates two small-format stores in New York as part of a strategy to test different merchandise and concepts, according to Women’s Wear Daily. The two stores, dubbed Century 21 Edition, offer shoppers curated product assortments and the retailer’s only optical departments, and allow the retailer to experiment with different categories such as handbags, fragrances and shoes.
