"Signa Holding is under pressure: declining sales in the shops, higher costs for construction and high interest rates make it necessary to change some things. In June, Signa Holding had once again promised financial support to the ailing e-commerce subsidiary Signa Sport UNit. With 150 million euros, both the operational business and necessary investments of the group should be secured until 2025. Previously, SSU had reported that sales in the second quarter had fallen by almost 24% to 195 million euros and the operating loss had increased to 59 million euros. At the same time, it was announced that the retailer Sport Check would also be sold to a competitor. Now Sports Direct parent Frasers wants to take over the omnichannel retailer.
The takeover should enable Frasers to expand its presence in Germany, one of the largest sports markets in Europe.
The 34-store retailer is said to have sales of around €350m. As part of Frasers, Sport Scheck is expected to benefit from the group's ""elevation strategy"", which has led to strong performance across the business through investment in shop concepts, digital capabilities and strengthened brand relationships, it said.
The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024. Signa is thus drawing a line under the Sport chapter."

International roll-out of Thomas Sabo´s new pop-up stores
The newly rolled-out pop-up concept is based on Charm Club, a community concept founded in April 2023.
The first locations of the completely redesigned pop-up stores were realized in the Alstertal shopping center in Hamburg and in the Pasing Arcaden in Munich. Further implementations will follow in the Shoppi Tivoli shopping center in Zurich as well as in the Spanish El Corte Ingles department stores nationwide.

Presented are the latest products of the Charm designs, but activities for an extended brand experience, such as raffles or different marketing campaigns are also implemented.
Thomas Sabo, the company’s founder said in a statement, “With the new approach for the Charm Club, we are targeting the young audience and the clientele of tomorrow and implementing this with a completely new POS concept as well as various activities for our community.”"

Totally un-shirted! The light blue lumberjack shirt that the national coach wore to the international match against the USA divides the nation. Not because the flannel overshirt is ugly, as tastes differ. But because of Julian Nagelsmann. He has already attracted attention with exalted styles in the past. "The exact look on Sandro Wagner or Jogi Löw - and people would have freaked out," wrote Annette Weber smugly in BILD (the umbrella line "Totally enthemd" was too good not to adopt). And because the original Van Laack costs 309.95 euros, the tabloid recommends its readers cheaper alternatives from Esprit, Hollister or C&A. This is probably not what the DFB outfitter had in mind. Especially since Julian Nagelsmann would have found alternatives at Van Laack, as a look at the range for the national team shows. I find it interesting that the first question after the international match was about Hamed. The American coach couldn't believe it. Nor could I, to be honest. Van Laack will be rubbing its hands with glee over this marketing.
