The apparel maker just opened the first North American location of its NextGen stores — focused on customization and digital capabilities — at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California.

The NextGen stores have "Tailor Shops" where shoppers can customize T-shirts and denim, new fitting rooms promising an "endless aisle" experience, and plenty of digital signage throughout.

The fitting rooms are meant to be more open than those found at a typical store. They also offer what Levi's calls an "endless aisle" experience, meaning that shoppers can try on items in their size and then place an order for it even if the store does not carry full inventory of that particular fit or style.
