"It is great to see that SNIPES has grown so much in the last two years in spite
of not so easy market conditions and that we can already serve a second market
in the CEE region in such a short time after entering the Polish market. We
think big and see great growth potential for our brand in the coming years ",
Sven Voth, CEO, and founder of SNIPES.
After a successful expansion to Poland as well as the acquisition of the
American retail chains "Jimmy Jazz" and "Expressions", the company continues to
push its expansion course: Within one year, the retailer increased its door
count by almost 250 doors and is now represented in eleven European countries
and the USA with more than 680 stores.
The deal has already been closed. The parties have agreed not to disclose the
terms of the deal.
