The new Herschel store will be located at 1080 Robson Street near several other prolific retailers, such as Foot Locker, Sephora, and Zara. It will take over the space that was previously occupied by BCBGMAXAZRIA.

A portion of the former BCBGMAXAZRIA is occupied by H&M’s COS, which opened a two-storey store at 1070 Robson Street in late 2019.
