Globetrotter Ausrüstung is a Hamburg-based retailer who understands how to inspire their customers. Following a relaunch of their retail store concept, not one but two redesigned locations opened their doors in early April: one in Hamburg’s Gerhofstrasse and one in Dusseldorf’s Königsallee.

Online goes offline – the current hot topic. Verivox, the Heidelberg-based online comparison portal, is now relying on a walk-in presence and on 29 September launched its first store in Mannheim's Q6/Q7 shopping centre.

The Görtz Architecture department, headed up by Ulrich Volp, has been relying on the expertise of Rosendahl-Holtwick-based Hoffmann Ladenbau since 2006. Together they have already fitted out numerous flagship stores, exclusive store areas and retail shops throughout Germany.

After a five month-long renovation phase, the French jewellery company Van Cleef & Arpels re-opened the doors to its flagship store on London's Bond Street.
