The Children’s Place, the largest children’s specialty retailer in North America, has announced the launching of a new Israeli chain in conjunction with the local Fox fashion group, Haaretz reported.
An agreement was signed on Sunday, sealing the deal.
Fox, run by its controlling shareholder Harel Wizel, agreed to an exclusive ten-year franchise contract with Children’s Place.
The first stores are slated to open for business by March, 2014.
