Local retail analysts predict that the purveyor of lingerie, as well as cosmetics, sleepwear and apparel, will perform well in the state, where talk about bringing in Victoria's Secret has gone on for more than a decade.

The planned Victoria's Secret boutique is five times the size of the chain's average-size store on the mainland, and will carry a full line of modern, fashion-inspired collections, PINK and Sexy Little Things merchandise, as well as lounge-wear, intimate apparel and the VS beauty line of fragrances and cosmetics.
