Is Polo Ralph Lauren in Men’s exiting a bunch of locations for 2026?
My door was told that it could be losing it and a few other locations in my District.
I’m aware of the RLG wanting more exclusivity of selling their merchandise but was curious nonetheless.
Thanks!
We lost our polo due to theft.. can’t sell what we don’t have. No AP at our location Evansville , In. We moved TH in its space
@w3 My store is getting a store's polo. I said to my store manager yesterday yeah it is probably going to be all basics which we need but something is better than nothing. They haven't been sending my store a lot of polo since fall. So anything to fill the empty spots is a good thing. (Sorry for your loss of polo.) My store manager would say order it once it is gone so they still see the need for it.
Our store is shipping out all Ralph Lauren Polo out and it has to be done before February 18.
It’s frustrating as he-l when the company doesn’t give a store the budget they need for asset protection positions and the colleagues are left to watch thieves steal the Polo and other brands BUT corporate gets mad because of slow/sluggish sales and shrink rate in Polo.
Like who does that?!
We lost Polo because of shoplifters. You can't make a profit when you are not allowed to stop trash from stealing it
@h7 they're pulling from lower vol stores
I heard a rumor they were pulling out of stores that were closing soon but that was early last year and seems no truth to it so far.
Dont worry. We all remember Nike pulled out then they came running back to Macys. RL will do the same
@cw my store is getting Nautica......again! BORING!!!!
Question: for the doors that lost Polo, what was that area/pad backfilled with? Club Room, Alfani or anything new?
As one of the stores losing Polo it will be a major hit to our sales 😕🙁😢 we performed very well in polo and it was a draw for customers to come to our store
Yes Ralph Lauren wants out of Macy's entirely most mdse is stolen not sold
Ralph Lauren will stay in bloomingdales for now
Our store in South Texas is one of them too.
You are correct. The vendor is pulling back from certain stores. Mine is one of them.
