Through 2025, U.S. Polo Assn. is increasing its fleet of stores with an additional 100 new locations, taking the count to 1,200 retail stores worldwide.

The Grand Opening of the Alexa Mall U.S. Polo Assn. store was an evening of celebration with a ribbon cutting and cocktail party, attended by VIPs, media, and fans of the brand, with special guests including J.
