Lebanon: Gap Inc. has signed a new agreement with Azadea group, one of the largest retailers in the Middle East, to open the first Gap store in Lebanon later this year. One of the main fashion centers of the region, Lebanon provides an ideal environment to introduce Gap brand. Since 2006, Gap Inc. has expanded its presence across the Middle East. Source
I’ve always loved their hoodies by the way, now you don’t have to wait for someone coming from abroad to get one!
YAY… I always liked GAP products:)
But where do you think they will open there branches?
At Hazmieh City Centre maybe? That mall seems to be bringing several new names..
FINALLY!
Azadea is Le Mall, not City Center
But it does have stores at other places than Le Mall, Massimo Dutti at ABC & Beirut Souks, Mango at ABC…
azadea is the company that markets zara bershka etc so it might be found in lots of malls
Awsome news! but i wonder if their prices will match up to the States ones ??? or is it gonna be like every other thing we import! charge us twice for what i actually cost!
A pair of Jeans for example costs about $50 tops in Gap stores in the U.S.A
now tell me its gonna be the same here too,don’t think so!…
Look at Zara and Mango exct their prices are about to hit the sky…. heck they don’t even carry enough sizes !
I’m glad i can shop for good stuff ,best quality and prices back in the states but not everyone else can, sooo i hope they work here the same way they do back home, knowing there have been a wave of Gap closing their stores in the US big time lately…
Sorry to be a party pooper, but I don’t understand the fascination with Gap. I find its designs quite banal and the quality is cheap. But Gap anyways isn’t an expensive brand so I guess you get what you pay for?
GAP will be opening at the Beirut Souks.
The first shop of GAP will be at Le Mall Dbayie in 16 of August and is the same quality and prices and of course a best quality of clothes.
finally el swicher shou se3ra
I agree with Rana. And I tell Rana: Go shop at American Eagle Outfitters in Hamra or Kaslik. You feel as if you were at their stores in the USA. When they first openned in Hamra last August, I bought 2 pairs of Jeans and one white Polo for $100 only (beautiful stuff.) They even gave me a-one- 35,000 LP-T-Shirt for free because I was among the first 100 NEW customers.
