The company will operate from a 27,000-square-foot office at 1540 Broadway in Times Square.

In the coming months, the company plans to add three new stores to its nine current locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.

Empire State Development is supporting the project with up to $1.5 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits.
"Pandora's move to New York City speaks to the strength and talent of the region's retail industry and workforce,” added Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight. “New York's commercial market and diverse talent are vital links in ensuring a glittering future for Pandora. We are proud to support their new North American headquarters, which will add new jobs and economic energy to the retail capital of the world."
