Simon®, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today announced a revolutionary collaboration with Shopify, the world's leading commerce platform, and Leap, the leading platform for physical retail. The three industry leaders will offer comprehensive solutions for e-commerce brands to expedite their go-to-market strategy and seamlessly open brick-and-mortar locations across the Simon portfolio.

Ring Concierge, a New York-based fine jewelry company, is building on the success of its existing retail presence by leveraging a strategic collaboration to expand into new markets. As a thriving e-commerce brand on the Shopify platform, Ring Concierge recognized the importance of expanding its physical retail presence to strengthen its brand and capitalize on the growing opportunities of an omnichannel strategy. With Leap's comprehensive Retail as a Service (RaaS) solutions — including location sourcing, store design, staffing, technology, and analytics—and Simon's premium retail spaces and marketing support, the company successfully opened three new stores in key markets nationwide within a matter of months.
