  • Calling All Shopaholics and Fashionistas: It's Finally Time To
    BLOMINVEST Calling All Shopaholics and Fashionistas: It’s finally Time to BANK Really Help the Lebanese Economy! While talented Lebanese designers were dressing worldwide celebrities and invading haute couture catwalks in the international fashion weeks, Leban on’s apparel industry seemed to be fading over March 14, 2015 the past few years. This is certainly related to the country’s dwindling retail sector, which is one of the biggest contributors to Lebanon’s Contact Information growth, constituting near 13% of total economic activity in 20131. Research Analyst: Mirna Chami [email protected] Mirroring the economy’s path, and following 2 years of bearish activity, the apparel sector in 2014 revealed a stagnating to declining Head of Research: Marwan Mikhael performance that was associated to the country’s ongoing [email protected] instabilities and political stalemates. Research Department Tel: +961 1 991 784 Evolution of the Apparel Market Size (In $M) External Trade Activity in the Clothing Industry (In $M) Source: Embassy of the United States of America Source: Lebanese Customs Performance in the Apparel Market in 2014: Mixed Indicators, yet Clothing Activity Stagnated While most retail giants refrained from revealing performance-related information to the public, the general consensus is that business remained slow in 2014 and tourists were nowhere to be seen. Given this relationship, it is safe to say that the more dependent a store is on tourists the more likely they are to have witnessed a drop in sales. Accordingly, stores targeting a lower frugal local customer base were expected to have lost a slighter share of revenues than the upscale stores that are highly dependent on the Arab clientele.

  • BORDEAUX Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    BORDEAUX Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Bordeaux | 2019 0 Located in southwestern France, Bordeaux is the capital of the Nouvelle Aquitaine region and the country’s fifth largest metropolitan area, with more than 1,200,000 inhabitants. Totalling around 92,000 students, the city has a long tradition of teaching excellence, thus providing large tech and industrial groups a highly-qualified workforce. A European hub for aeronautics and space industries, Bordeaux is also considered the wine capital of the world, with the region boasting the most famous grape varieties including Merlot and Cabernet. In the nineties, the historic city centre of Bordeaux underwent a massive urban redevelopment project comprised of the creation of new tramway lines and the conversion of former industrial sites on the now ‘cleaned up’ waterfront. This large- scale project gave a boost to the city as a key tourist destination, also now listed a UNESCO world heritage site. Benefiting from its local residents’ high purchasing power, Bordeaux’s prime retail scene is mainly located in the vast pedestrian area located on the left bank of the Garonne River and hosts a wide range of retailers. Rue Sainte-Catherine and Rue de la Porte Dijeaux are the main hubs for middle- range players in the fashion sector, whereas Cours de l’Intendance is a key destination for upper-range retailers. While prime opportunities in the city centre of Bordeaux are traditionally scarce, it hosts two major shopping centres downtown: Meriadeck (Auchan hypermarket) and the Promenade Sainte-Catherine, providing international retailers with quality space so as to expand their French retail network (e.g.

  • Annual Results 2020 FY20 Results a Year Dominated by the Pandemic and Key to the Transformation of the Company Inditex Exceeds € 1.1 Billion Net Profit
    Annual Results 2020 FY20 Results A year dominated by the pandemic and key to the transformation of the company Inditex exceeds € 1.1 billion net profit Online sales increased by 77% in local currencies to €6.6bn, making Inditex a global leader in online fashion Zara 2 10 march 2021 The Group generated net sales of €20.4 billion in FY20 – from 1 February 2020 to 31 January 2021 – reducing the year-on-year decline to 28% or 25% excluding the foreign exchange impact. This was despite 100% of its stores being mandated to close or having restricted trading hours or capacity during periods of the financial year. Inditex’s executive chairman, Pablo Isla, said of the results, “Inditex has emerged stronger after such a challenging year thanks to the amazing commitment displayed by everyone here at the company”. Under this context, he underlined the relevance of “the digital transformation strategy initiated in 2012, which is built around the integrated store and online sales platform”. “Inditex as a company is stronger today than it was two years ago, with a unique business model and a global, flexible, digitally integrated and sustainable sales platform, which places us in an excellent position for the future”., Isla concluded During the year, Inditex launched its online sales platform in 25 new markets and opened new stores in 29. The Group’s eight retail brands are currently available online in 216 markets around the world, 91 of which offer the integrated store and online shopping experience. The fast deployment of the integrated stock management system (SINT), which is already available in 5,777 stores across 89 markets, has played a crucial role during the pandemic.

  • Athens Retail Guide
    ATHENS Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Athens | 2019 0 The City of Athens is the capital of Greece and one of world’s oldest cities. The urban area of Athens extends beyond the administrative city limits and has an estimated population of some 3.8 million; amounting to almost a third of the Greek population. The total shopping centre stock in Greece is 620,000 sqm (June 2019) 70% of which is concentrated near Athens. There is little room for modern retail developments in Athens due to planning restrictions and lack of large developable land accessible by metro. An exception on the above could be the development of the old airport in Ellinikon. Hellinikon SA intends to develop one of the most prominent inner-city waterfront mixed-use projects, with a blend of contemporary and up-market buildings, creating an integrated destination. Provided some legal and technical matters will be resolved the only shopping centre in the pipeline is The Mall in the area of Votanikos of 48,000 sqm GLA. The 2004 Olympics saw significant infrastructure improvements around Athens, and since then the city has taken a more business-like approach. Tourism is of particular significance to some areas of the Athenian market. Athens is the first target for international retailers entering the Greek market. Prior to the recession there was lack of adequate retail space suitable for international retailers; which caused delays in retailers’ expansion plans. The retail climate has improved since 2017, with increased demand and vacancy now very limited in prime locations. The general outlook for retail property in Athens is positive, with macros improving and leasing activity expected to be sound in 2019 benefitting from growth in private consumption and tourism increase.
