With a presence in over 90 markets and more than 6,500 stores, the company serves a diverse customer base across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Its e-commerce platforms operate in more than 200 markets, supporting local languages, currencies and payment options. Flagship stores in major urban centers coexist with neighborhood outlets and online channels, reflecting the group’s omnichannel approach and commitment to localized offerings.
