Two more international chains are due to open in Israel by the end of the year.
Match Retail on Sunday said it would open two branches of fashion giant H&M’s upscale clothing chain & Other Stories in Jerusalem’s Malha Mall and Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Center. They are expected to open this fall, the local franchisee for H&M said in a press release.
& Other Stories has branches throughout Europe that sell women’s clothing, shoes, purses, accessories and beauty products, with a focus on high quality throughout a wide price range.
H&M opened in Israel in 2010 and now has 21 stores here, as well as one COS store in the Tel Aviv Fashion Mall.
Meanwhile, Fox Group on Sunday said it would open two branches of Danish chain store Flying Tiger. The Copenhagen-based company has some 950 stores throughout Europe and Asia and sells a variety of household products, mainly accessories and toys.
Fox committed to operating the franchise for at least five years in Israel, it said in a press release. The new stores are expected to open by the end of the year. No locations for the stores were disclosed.
Flying Tiger opened in 1995. The company’s CEO has said the store aims to be a sort of “treasure hunt,” with hundreds of new items added every month, the press release said.
