Three new stores are planned for Panama, Peru and Costa Rica by the end of this year.

Michael Weiss, president, chairman and ceo of Express Inc., says, “Express' fashion forward product offering is perfectly aligned with the Latin American consumer's preference for fashion, fit and color. The Hispanic population in the U.S. has demonstrated a passion for Express and we look forward to expanding that passion throughout Central and South America.”
