The Cherokee brand will join Max's select roster of affordable, high-quality products and will be positioned as a family lifestyle brand for women's, men's, kids, and juniors at Max stores.

We are confident that our family-focused lifestyle brand will resonate well with Max's fashion-forward, value-oriented patrons, and we look forward to working with Max to develop and expand our consumer base throughout the Middle East and Africa. Mark Nawrocki, our Senior Vice President and our team at The Cherokee Group have excelled at identifying exceptional retail partners that have successfully introduced our brand into new markets." 

Ramanathan Hariharan, Chief Executive Officer of Max, added, "The Cherokee brand with its unique design and American casual appeal will be an excellent addition to our stores, complementing our current offering and reinforcing our brand promise "More Fashion, More Value". The brand will showcase its products for men, women and children initially at select Max outlets."
