The American clothing and accessories retail chain will open its first store in Jerusalem's exclusive Mamilla Quarter Monday, offering more than 20,000 items for sale, Ynetnews.com reported Friday.
Guests invited to celebrate the occasion, will attend a dinner at the nearby Mamilla Hotel, which overlooks the Old City, and a performance by the Idan Raichel Project, before retiring to the hotel's roof for cocktails, the news Web site said.
