Gracing the opening as Chief Guest was Chief Minister of the North Western Province Dayasiri Jayasekara while the Guests of Honour were Mayor of Kurunegala Gamini Peramunage as well as Senior DIG North Western Province Jagath Abeysiri Gunawardane.
Located on Bauddhaloka Mawatha in Kurunegala, the new Fashion Bug is located on five floors, spread over 15,000 square feet, with separate floors for women, kids, accessories and men’s wear.
“It’s a lot more spacious and gives room for shoppers to browse through garments at their leisure, without feeling constricted,” said Director Fashion Bug, Shabier Subian. The first Kurunegala outlet has been in operation since 2007 and owing to its popularity the company decided to relocate its outlet to a much bigger and spacious showroom.
“Subsequent to consumer research as well as the obvious popularity of our products, we decided to relocate it giving consumers much better and variety to choose from,” said Marketing Manager, Samadhi Abeysinghe. “The new outlet will stock casual wear, office wear, party wear, as well as a range of accessories for both ladies and gents, while an extensive range of children’s wear will also be on sale”.
Abeysinghe added that a special Avurudu collection will be available for shoppers which would include handloom sarees, sarongs, casual shirts and blouses.
The celebrations commenced with the distinguished guests cutting the ribbon to open the outlet and lighting the oil lamp, after which Jayasekara as well as the other distinguished invitees spoke a few words, commending Fashion Bug on their contribution to Sri Lanka’s retail clothing/fashion industry.
Fashion Bug also has plans to open up in the north and east in the near future.
