Gap Inc. (San Francisco) opened its first Gap store in Poland at the Arkadia mall in Warsaw, as the retailer continues to push to establish a presence in eastern and central Europe.

Gap and its Polish franchise partner Ultimate Fashion are planning to open more stores in the country next year and then expand to other countries in the region, says Anna Lacka, Ultimate Fashion’s marketing director, in an Associated Press article.

The closest Gap locations in the region are in Ukraine and Serbia, which opened two months ago.

By 2014, Gap expects to double the number of its franchise stores to 400.
