Club Monaco

Club Monaco is a renowned international retail brand that offers contemporary clothing and accessories for both men and women. Established in 1985 in Toronto, Canada, the brand started with a single store dedicated to providing 'better basics'—timeless and minimalist essentials that quickly captured the attention of style-savvy consumers. By 1989, Club Monaco had expanded into the United States, opening a location in New York City, which set the stage for its growth into major urban markets.

In 1999, the brand was acquired by Ralph Lauren Corporation, a pivotal moment that accelerated its global reach and refined its upscale image. Over the years, Club Monaco has expanded its presence to key international cities, including London, Hong Kong, and Seoul, while also launching an e-commerce platform to engage a wider audience.

As of November 2025, Club Monaco operates approximately 65 stores worldwide. Its footprint is primarily concentrated in North America, the UK, and select Asian markets. The company is headquartered in New York City, with a design studio in Toronto, reflecting its North American roots and global aspirations.

Club Monaco is known for its strategic approach to growth, focusing on high-density urban locations and premium retail corridors. Its stores are designed with a minimalist aesthetic that complements the brand’s curated product offerings. The brand's flexible store formats, which include flagship boutiques and smaller lifestyle shops, make it a versatile tenant for both street retail and upscale shopping centers.

Recent openings in London and Seoul highlight Club Monaco’s commitment to international expansion, while its investments in digital strategies support a robust omnichannel presence. For commercial real estate professionals, Club Monaco's established reputation and focus on prime urban sites make it a valuable addition to upscale retail developments.
