RCS Real Estate Advisors, a premier retail real estate advisor, today announced its selection to drive the next stage of growth for Perfumania & Fragrance Outlet, an influential force within the retail perfume sector, renowned for its extensive portfolio of more than 219 stores across the U.S. This strategic collaboration, under the guidance of RCS, is poised to propel the two brands into a new era of streamlined real estate management, expansion and innovation.
While the two brands have traditionally thrived in outlet centers under the Perfumania & Fragrance Outlet banner, the retailer has tasked RCS with securing new store locations in high-traffic malls and other full-priced properties that include elevated shopping venues. This strategic shift will enhance the shopping experience by offering authentic designer and proprietary fragrances and accessories in premium mall locations that offer customers convenience and proximity to complementary retailers.
“RCS is proud to serve as the driving force behind Perfumania & Fragrance Outlet’s new retail real estate strategy,” said Ivan Friedman, President and CEO of RCS Real Estate Advisors. “By leveraging our real estate management prowess and the brands’ boutique perfume industry dominance, we’ve created a synergy that positions them for tremendous success. RCS’s depth of industry knowledge and long-standing relationships with major retail property owners will ensure Perfumania & Fragrance Outlet are primed for significant future growth.”
RCS will serve as Perfumania & Fragrance Outlet’s outsourced real estate department to streamline and enhance various aspects of both brands’ retail portfolios. The firm will handle lease renewals, new leasing opportunities and address any day-to-day real estate issues on behalf of the two brands.
“Perfumania & Fragrance Outlet’s partnership with RCS signifies a strategic leap forward and a testament to our business’s growth and maturity,” said Bill Aisenberg, CFO at the two brands. “With RCS serving as our dedicated outsourced real estate department, we’re primed for expansion and to increase efficiencies related to the management of our retail real estate assets. This collaboration will be critical for expediting our long-term expansion plans.”
