US-based teen fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch is set to open a new A&F prototype store this year in Hong Kong.

The company plans to open another five in the US.

In relation to the planned 6,800ft² store in Hong Kong, the retailer has signed an agreement with Wharf Holdings and aims to bring the brand to Harbour City mall by the end of the year.

"In this new space, we expect to deliver greater productivity on a significantly smaller footprint than our previous Hong Kong store.”

In February, the company launched the first new A&F store concept in Columbus, Ohio, US.

Abercrombie & Fitch Company CEO Fran Horowitz said: "While we continue to invest in our omnichannel capabilities, enabling our customers to engage with us whenever, wherever and however they choose, our stores remain an important gateway to our brands.
