UAE based Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) has inked a deal to launch US’s leading fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch’s brand by 2014.
 
Following the deal, MAF would open the US brand’s first outlet in Dubai next year.
 
Inking of the deal with the US retailer is a substantiation of MAF’s insight into region’s retail space, Ahmed Galal Ismail, CEO of MAF Ventures said in a statement.
 
The US brand with its iconic image would augment MAF’s extensive brand portfolio and strengthen its image as a preferred strategic alliance for world’s most reputed brands.
