Aeropostale signs with Robinson

For Thailand, through five-year licence agreements, Robinson Department Store is committed to open more than 40 Aeropostale shops over the next five years.
Julian Geiger, chief executive officer of Aeropostale, said the US company’s international expansion began in Asia and it was pleased to announce further expansion across this key region. “Thailand will be an important market as we continue to expand globally across Asia. We are confident that our partnerships with Robinson Department Store Company will ensure that the Aeropostale brand will continue to expand and prosper internationally,” he said.
The company has signed a licensing agreement with Robinson Department Store to open about 40 standalone and shop-in-shop locations over the next five years in Thailand. The first Aeropostale location in Thailand will open at the Robinson Department Store in Fashion Island mall on February 18, followed by Future Park Rangsit on February 24, and at Robinson Sriracha on March 1. About 15 Aeropostale shops will be opened in the Kingdom this year.
Paresh Chauhan, executive vice president for international brands at Robinson, said the department-store chain was very excited to bring Aeropostale to Thailand, with the brand’s strong combination of trend-fitting merchandise at compelling prices.
