A Pea in the Pod opens in Chicago and New York City

A Pea in the Pod, the designer and specialty retailer of luxe maternity apparel and accessories, announced on Monday retail expansion plans, starting with the opening of two new concept stores in Chicago and New York City.

”We are excited to announce we will be opening a handful of retail stores in our top populated customer locations across the United States, with the first two stores just newly opened in Chicago and New York City, featuring A Pea in the Pod, along with some of our most popular styles from styles from Motherhood Maternity," said Marla Ryan, executive vice president, A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood Maternity.

"Prior to the pandemic all our retail locations were closed, and since then, we've been focusing our efforts on offering moms and expecting moms-to-be a robust digital shopping experience that's accessible and convenient. However, we understand we have a unique customer who appreciates the opportunity to shop and try-on clothing in person, as her body changes throughout pregnancy and post-partum.”

In Chicago, customers will be able to shop in-store seven days a week at 1723 N. Daman Avenue. Likewise, the New York City A Pea in the Pod will be open daily, at 1042 Lexington Avenue, Space A.

At both locations, customers can expect to find an assortment of luxe maternity and nursing styles ranging from denim and leggings to bras and nursing tops, from designer brands like AG and 7 for All Mankind.

Looking ahead, Ryan said the company will continue to work with Leap's retail platform, who has helped it bring its digital brand to life in physical stores, as it explores additional store locations.

"Having a physical retail presence is incredibly important these days and we're thrilled to enable A Pea in the Pod's return to omnichannel retail in their core markets of Chicago and New York City," added Amish Tolia, Leap co-founder and co-CEO.
