Topshop has confirmed that it will be opening its first standalone store in Germany next month.

The debut store, which will be situated in Galeria Kaufhof in Alexanderplatz, Berlin, is the first of its kind and comes three years after the idea of expansion in the German market was mooted. The brand has previously been available in the country through its online presence, and concessions in department stores.

The launch is the first of a planned series of openings throughout 2017.
