Country Club Prep to Open Up Shop in Southampton

Country Club Prep, an online clothes retailer, announced recently that they will be setting up shop in Southampton this summer.

The e-retailer, will open its third brick and mortar location at 64 Jobs Lane, Southampton, the building formerly leased by Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian for their DASH pop-up shop last summer during the filming of “Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons.”

The grand opening of the store will take place on May 19.

“Opening shop in Southampton made sense for a few reasons; the first is our major online presence in New York. The second is our appreciation for the historic ties traditional preppy style has to the region,” Stephen Glasgow, co-founder of Country Club Prep, said. “If we get the traffic we are hoping to see this summer in the pop-up shop, we look forward to turning the store into a permanent installation.”

Located at 64 Jobs Lane in Southampton’s beautiful historic district, Country Club Prep will cater to the customers who frequent the central shopping area surrounding Main Street and Jobs Lane.

The store will also host fun social gatherings throughout the summer to benefit the community and celebrate the 375th anniversary of Southampton.

“Summers in the Hamptons are widely-known for their major events, and Country Club Prep plans to join right in on the fun,” sAmanda Caldwell, Prep-in-Chief, who will be living in Southampton for the summer to mange the pop-up shop said. “Whether it’s happy hour on Friday or a monogramming party on Saturday, there will be non-stop excitement at the store.”

While Country Club Prep has found great success online, the founders realized there was opportunity to shake up the traditional brick-and-mortar space.

Following cyber-to-cement expansions into Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2014 and then Lexington, Kentucky, shortly thereafter, the opening of the Southampton pop-up shop signifies a successful and replicable model for the retailer, and will precede continued expansion in even more college and resort towns over the next year.
