Persianas Retail Limited (PRL), GUESS Inc.’s exclusive retail partner in Nigeria and a leading fashion, sports, and lifestyle retailer, is proud to announce the opening of the first GUESS physical store in Nigeria. The launch represents a significant milestone in GUESS’ global expansion strategy and reinforces Nigeria’s growing importance within the international fashion and lifestyle landscape. The store is operated by PRL under an official franchise agreement with GUESS Inc. This expansion also reflects PRL’s continued investment in shaping Nigeria’s retail landscape through a deliberate omnichannel strategy that integrates physical stores with strong digital platforms.
Following a successful digital launch in November 2025 on PRL’s multibrand e-commerce platform, TheMix.ng, the opening of GUESS’ first physical store marks a strategic next phase in the brand’s presence in Nigeria. The launch expands access to GUESS through a dedicated retail destination designed to support long-term brand growth in the market.
Located in Lagos, one of Africa’s most influential style capitals, the store brings GUESS’ California heritage into conversation with the city’s bold, expressive fashion culture. The space offers a curated selection of GUESS’ core accessories categories, including handbags and footwear, offering customers an immersive way to engage with the GUESS lifestyle.
Speaking on this achievement, Ayo Amusan, CEO of PRL, said:
“Bringing GUESS into a physical retail space in Nigeria is a strategic milestone for us. It reflects both the maturity of the Nigerian consumer and our long-term commitment to building world-class retail experiences locally. This store translates strong digital demand into a curated, immersive destination that aligns with how today’s customer lives, shops, and connects with global brands.”
The launch further highlights Nigeria’s position as a priority fashion and lifestyle market in Africa, driven by a young, style-conscious consumer base with increased demand for premium brands and increasing access to global brands.
The GUESS store is now open at The Palms Mall, Lekki, offering customers a seamless retail experience both in-store and online via TheMix.ng. Together, these channels reflect GUESS and PRL’s shared commitment to meeting consumers wherever and however they choose to shop.
