Carhartt, a national chain that’s known for its rugged workwear and outdoor apparel, is opening Thursday at Bradley Fair at 21st and Rock Road.
The Michigan company is taking the more-than 4,000-square-foot space Jos. A. Bank vacated just north of HomeGrown.
As Mark Kastner, Carhartt’s director of direct-to-consumer store strategy and experience, previously said in an e-mailed news release:
“We are thrilled to add Wichita’s Bradley Fair to our retail footprint to make Carhartt’s durable and versatile workwear more easily available.”
He said that there’s “an increased need for gear that supports the lifestyles of Wichita shoppers.”
This makes the 55th stand-alone store for Carhartt, a Michigan company that opened in 1889.
There is apparel for men, women, children and pets.
Product lines include the Force, the water-repellent Rain Defender and Rugged Flex, which allows for mobility.
The store also will have Carhartt Reworked, which it calls its recommerce platform, meaning it gives a second chance to apparel that’s imperfect or slightly worn and offers it to people who need it.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
The first 1,000 customers who become members of Carhartt’s Groundbreakers Loyalty Program will get a free T-shirt.
“We are so excited to welcome Carhartt to Bradley Fair,” said Jessica Branning, Bradley Fair general manager.
“Their dedication to quality offerings perfectly complements our vibrant mix of retail brands. We look forward to seeing them empower hardworking individuals in Wichita with style and functionality.”
