Lacoste wants 20% bigger sales

The only Lacoste store in Romania expects sales to grow 20% this year. The second store will be opened in the second half of 2003, but the location has not been selected yet. “The sales of our downtown Bucharest store were on target and they are set to increase 15-20% this year,” said George Repidonis, representative of Notos Romania, a subsidiary of the Greek holding Notos Com, which holds the Lacoste franchise for Central and Eastern Europe. Men’s wear accounted for two thirds of the store’s sales. ZF
