As a global lifestyle company with an outstanding brand portfolio, successful store concepts, innovative ideas like RFID and continuing record figures, the GERRY WEBER Group continues on a course for growth and focuses on more internationalization.
Thanks to the new, fresh design, the collections of GERRY WEBER cater for the taste of its female customers all over the word. In Italy, GERRY WEBER operates already eight HOUSES of GERRY WEBER, and in Egypt, the third HOUSE of GERRY WEBER opened in spring 2011.
Before expanding with its own retail businesses, a detailed potential and location analysis is carried out. It is also an advantage for the partners that GERRY WEBER´s own operated shops strengthen the brand awareness. In future, 65 to 75 GERRY WEBER´s own operated and 60 to 70 franchise operated HOUSES of GERRY WEBER will be opened worldwide.
“Meanwhile our company acts with its brands as a global player which means that we will expand increasingly within the core European markets and set up new shops in North America and in the Middle and Far East within the next two years. Abroad, we mainly cooperate with local competent partners who know the domestic market very well.”
Gerhard Weber, CEO
Besides the expansion of its own and partner operated HOUSES of GERRY WEBER, the fashion and lifestyle company is going to continue to push the wholesale business as a strong partner of the retail.
“We are expanding strongly with shop areas and we will have more than 2,000 shop-in-shops with our retail partners in the fiscal year 2010/11.”
Gerhard Weber, CEO
