bebe to open shop in macau

For Bebe Stores Inc. at least, China is looking pretty good right now.
The U.S. apparel chain, which has struggled with weak sales in its home country, is expanding into the Asian nation in search of growth. As part of a licensing deal announced Thursday, Bebe will get its brand into as many as 150 places in China during the next five years.
Bebe is making the move at a time when China’s economic prospects are in doubt. Concerns about a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy have roiled global markets. But Bebe Chief Executive Officer Jim Wiggett sees the China expansion as a no-brainer. Demand for brand-name clothing is still huge in the country, he said, and Bebe’s Shanghai-based partner will defray the risks.
“The appetite is voracious,” Wiggett said in an interview. “The market might be adjusting in the short term, but it’s going to settle down.”
The retailer, which sells going-out attire and other clothing for women, is teaming up with Longgoal LLC, a retail management firm. Longgoal will open at least 60 retail and wholesale points of distribution for Bebe in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The first boutique will debut next summer, said Brisbane, California-based Bebe.
