M.H. Alshaya Co., the leading international retail franchise operator, is pleased to announce that it has signed a franchise partnership agreement with COS, Collection of Style. The first COS store will open at The Avenues in Kuwait in Autumn 2012.

COS is part of the H&M group sharing the same business concept of ‘fashion and quality at the best price’. COS prices start where H&M’s finish. COS has a wide product range that is divided into a number of different concepts, incorporating fashion essentials, reinvented classics and the latest trends for men and women all created by an in-house design team of designers and buyers. COS currently has 46 stores in nine countries (UK, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, France, Spain, Belgium, Ireland and Sweden) and currently retails online to an additional 9 European markets.
