Fashion8 April, 2019

Ailing fashion manufacturer Gerry Weber will close 120 stores and cut 454 jobs in Germany. In January, the company received a suspension of debt repayment.

 

454 jobs

Gerry Weber has reached an agreement with the union representatives on the restructurings that were announced earlier: the fashion producer will close 120 German outlets. In the process, 454 jobs will be lost. 300 of them will be in the targeted stores and the rest in the company’s administrative headquarters.
