Online healthcare apparel retailer Figs Inc. is opening its permanent physical retail space — its Community Hub — at the Century City Mall in Los Angeles on November 3.
Figs generates more than $500 million in net revenues in 2022, almost exclusively online. Its Community Hubs aim to create even deeper connections among the Figs community and shine a spotlight on healthcare professionals, who for the first time will have access to a premium store designed specifically for them. Community Hubs also provide an opportunity to drive increased revenues across the entire Figs platform. Los Angeles is one of the company’s largest markets.
“We could not be more excited to open our first Community Hub, and to do it in Los Angeles, where Figs was founded,” said Trina Spear, Figs’ CEO and co-founder. “Our Community Hub is a space for our Awesome Humans to not only experience our products in person, but to gather, share knowledge and provide support to one another. Figs was the first to create an e-commerce experience for our Awesome Humans, and we are thrilled to now give them a first-of-its-kind retail experience.”
FIGS’ Community Hubs not only enable healthcare professionals to feel, try on and buy their favorite Figs products, they allow them to connect with one another and engage more fully with the FIGS community. These locations will also host events to celebrate healthcare professionals, provide programming on important issues that impact them and create opportunities to network and share their stories.
The company plans to open its next Community Hub in the first half of 2024 in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square, which is located within two miles of five healthcare institutions. Philadelphia has the fourth highest number of healthcare professionals in the U.S., and one in every six doctors in the U.S. has been trained there.
