Abercrombie gets Boulevard de Waterloo HOT! | (image source) |
After so much anticipation, Brussels is gonna get FIERCE with an Abercrombie & Fitch flagship of its own! A&F Brussels is found on Boulevard de Waterloo which, of course, is home to multiple luxury shops (Chanel, Dior, etc.). It is from within Boulevard de Waterloo 21 (or "Waterloolaan 21") where A&F Brussels will be blasting all-American cool for its excited Belgian fans! Renovations and interior design within this elegant structure were conducted by MichelGroup (a reputable firm which claims clients such as Louis Vuitton and Bloomingdale's among others). The only currently available photos of A&F Brussels are from the construction phase, but don't let them fool you...the location is very nice.
The admirable result will be another amazing Abercrombie & Fitch flagship location. A&F Brussels will be offering 1,600 square meters (about 17,222 square feet) of retail space - enough space to provide you with the best of the Abercrombie lifestyle! Recruiting has been going on in October and its expected that the store will hire up to 400 people to keep the party going! Of course, the store models have to be among the best looking people in Brussels!
There was loads of delaying for the opening. Abercrombie & Fitch first planned to open A&F Brussels in March 2011. Then when March came around it was pushed to "late-2011," but with no word on what month. Reports came out in the summer that it would open in December, but, again, no exact date. And that is why its hard to pin-point the opening dates to A&F flagships sometimes because of A&F's knack of schedule changes and obscurity. But whatever. The date is now known! Mark your calendars, people!!! A&F Brussels opens December 8!
Stay FIERCE!
P.S. Oh, and do you see that Singapore? Boulevard de Waterloo also has a billboard just like the one on your native Orchard Road...no complains from the Belgians, though! ;)
