The 1000+ square-foot store carries a full assortment of goods that draw heavily on British heritage, style and culture including clothing and accessories for women and men, home and lifestyle. 

“Princeton is the perfect location for the Jack Wills brand, as our store is adjacent to the town’s namesake Ivy League institution," said Jim Hardy, president of Jack Wills, Inc. "We have high expectations for the new location and are looking forward to serving the community.”

The store is quintessentially British with a modern twist, with authentic flooring, fireplaces and other fixtures flown directly from the United Kingdom. Special features include repurposed flooring from old schools, a classic fireplace, and other vintage fixtures flown in directly from the U.K.
