Fnac and Decathlon set to close stores at Manor

What: French group Fnac will close 10 stores at Manor, representing almost all of its shop-in-shops in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Also, Decathlon is putting an end to the operation of its 3 points of sale in Manor stores.

Why it is important: The partnership with Fnac, launched with Manor in 2021, included the opening of 27 stores at Manor nationwide. 17 points of sale within Manor will be kept.

The 10 Fnac stores, to close between April and the end of June, saw lower footfall compared to French-speaking Switzerland. Decathlon shop-in-shops will close at the beginning of February 2023. Each partner remains open to other forms of short- and long-term collaboration, according to Decathlon.
