KYIV. Dec 10 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Eren Holding, a Turkish group of companies, developing a network of SuperStep multi-brand shoe shops in Ukraine, plans by the end of 2016 to open eight new stores, the company CEO for the Lacoste, SuperStep and Nautica brands in Ukraine has said.
“Even in such not so good times in the Ukrainian market we continue to grow… We plan by the end of next year to have nine SuperStep stores in the Ukrainian market,” he said during the third Retail & Development Business Summit in Kyiv.
At the same time, the company expert noted that if the demand for products from the SuperStep stores in Ukraine grows, their number could double in the coming years.
“Now we have no plan to expand the network to, let’s say, 20 stores. However, if we see an increase in the demand for SuperStep, then I am sure in the coming years we might double the number of stores,” he said.
In addition, he said that the activities of Eren Holding in Ukraine will not be limited with the shops of Lacoste, Nautica and SuperStep: the holding intends to bring new brands to the market in Ukraine in the near future.
In Ukraine Eren Holding operates ten stores of clothing and footwear under the brand of Lacoste, two Nautica brand shops and one SuperStep store. The shops are mainly located in shopping centers in Kyiv and Kyiv region, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Lviv.
