Gray Mackenzie Retail Group announced on Friday that it had "officially signed a franchise agreement with the French retail chain Monoprix, based on the management of the company's operations in Lebanon and its expansion through the opening of new stores, as part of the strengthening of strategic partnerships and opening up to global markets."
As such, the first store is set to open this year, according to Gray Mackenzie.
