</div>
</div><p>The company's first brick-and-mortar store opened in LA in 2022. Its New York store followed soon after, with Chicago becoming its third store.</p><p>"When we look at expansion, we look at where is our girl, where does she live and where does she work and where does she go out," Sheldon said. "And Chicago just made so much sense for us."</p><p>It also marks a shift in its retail strategy. The West Loop store is designed to feel like a Midwest lake house with a “lived in living room” and nods to Chicago's sports teams.</p><p>The dressing room, in the back of the 1,138-square-foot store, will also have space for visitors to relax on a couch, with complimentary drinks, TV and a hook-and-ring toss game.</p><p>Set will also sell Chicago-specific merchandise, including sweatshirts, sweatpants and hats. And the items are only available at the West Loop store, Sheldon said. </p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>
