The store will debut as an anchor tenant in the soon-to-be-opened Fahrenheit 88 (previously KL Plaza) right in the heart of Bukit Bintang. With more than 2,140 sqm, the store will occupy three floors of the mall near the main entrance.

This comes after Debenhams of UK opened its flagship 3-floor store in the nearby Lot 10 shopping mall in April of this year.

Despite the recent entry of several large foreign retail brands into Malaysia for the first time, there were many others who decided to exit the market such as GANT, Yo! Sushi and Club Monaco (later this year).
