The opening of Forever 21 in northern Mexico, which was announced by Gicsa, is an important advance of the brand in the country after last October it closed its most important store nationwide, located in Francisco I.

It should be remembered that last September the chain declared bankruptcy due to the increase in electronic purchases and the lack of customers in shopping centers. For this reason, the fast fashion company announced that it would initiate a restructuring project that would include closing some international locations, mostly in Asia and Europe.
