Debenhams to close German chain

Debenhams is expected to axe its fledgling German chain after its fashions failed to strike a chord with the locals. Last week it emerged that the department store group was looking for a European partner and had made contact with peers including Germany’s Karstadt Quelle and Galeries Lafayette in France. However, Debenhams entered the German market in its own right earlier this year, opening trial franchise stores in a handful of locations including Berlin.

Their ranges have been poorly received, sources say, and the stores are likely to shut at the end of August.
