Salomon Lands in Chicago for Second U.S. Store, Plots More Locations This Year

August 27, 2025

Salomon is set to open its newest retail location in the heart of Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood this week. It marks a milestone in the French brand’s North American expansion.

Located at 1630 N Damen Avenue, Salomon Bucktown is the brand’s first Midwest location and second U.S. retail store, following the opening of its SoHo store in New York City last year.

James Zheng, chief executive officer of Amer Sports, told analysts on last week’s earnings call that the company “continues to lay the groundwork to support significant future growth” for Salomon in the Americas region.

“Our first U.S. store in New York City continued to show incredible traction with our consumers, and we plan to open 3 to 4 more in the great New York area this year or early next year as well as continue to expand our presence in key wholesale accounts,” Zheng noted.

Looking even closer, Zheng teased on the company’s earnings call that new Salomon locations are coming this fall to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets just outside of NYC and to the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. “We will focus on San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami in 2026,” the CEO added.
