the prosecution requires the placement in receivership of the 20 stores of the brand

A new ready-to-wear brand in difficulty. The parquet floor of the Commercial Court of Grenoble requested, Monday, February 27, the placement in receivership of the 20 franchised stores of the Gap France brand. A court ruling is expected on Wednesday.

Last week, Gap France announced that it was forced to “momentarily” cease its online sales activities. The CFDT had added that one of the Parisian stores of the sign, located avenue des Ternes, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, would close by the end of March.

The same owner as Camaïeu

The elected personnel of the ready-to-wear brand exercised their right to alert at the end of January in order to obtain information on the situation of their company, bought in 2021 for one euro by the HPB group (Hermione, People & Brands), who announced that they would resell it to Go Sport.

The network of Gap stores in France is the property of the Bordeaux businessman Michel Ohayon, who also owns Camaïeu, liquidated in September and leaving some 2,600 employees on the floor. He also owns the Go Sport brand, placed in receivership in early February.
