Grand Opening Of The Men’s Department At ABC

Last night, the men’s department at ABC Ashrafieh relaunched with a new decor and vibe. The grand opening was dubbed ‘Manly Yours’, as the whole floor was transformed into a series of chic mini boutiques and bars serving cocktails with music blasting through the speakers.
