Old Navy, the largest casual clothing retailer in the United States, opened two outlets in the Chubu region on April 25 in what appears to be a foray aimed at leveraging its fashion sense, high quality and low prices in central Honshu.
One of the stores faces the main street in Nagoya's Sakae district and is the first of its kind in the area. The other opened as a branch in MALera, a commercial building in Motosu, Gifu Prefecture, the same day.
The Sakae outlet occupies the first and second floors of the Otsudori Denki Building, where customers are greeted by a family of mannequins dressed in bright primary colors at the entrance.
