Calzedonia looks to enter UK
Calzedonia, the Italian hosiery and swimwear retailer, is looking to enter the UK by opening six stores in London. It is also said to be considering a roll-out across the country once the London stores are established.
The retailer has retained Cushman & Wakefield to find stores in high footfall locations. Duncan Gilliard from Cushman & Wakefield’s London retail team said: “Calzedonia is looking for six stores between 60-100 sq m in high footfall locations across London. Following its success across Europe, the retailer is keen to expand across the UK following the establishment of its London stores.”
Calzedonia was founded in 1987 and operates through a franchising sales network of 1,300 shops in Italy, Austria, Cyprus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Lebanon, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, France, Macedonia, Montenegro, the Slovak Republic, and Romania.
