Under the agreement, Apparel will open at least 60 CCC-brand stores in the six countries to a total of at least 40,000 square metres by 2023, with the first stores seen opening in the first half of 2019.

CCC will also sell its products via Apparel-managed online channels dedicated to Middle Eastern markets, the company said.

"The Middle East market is another step in implementing the strategy of expanding and developing the foreign sales network," the statement read. (PAP)
