Beaumanoir Group takes over Jennyfer
French group Beaumanoir announced on Thursday the acquisition of the Jennyfer brand and 26 of its shops in France. Previously owned by a group of investors led by former Undiz chief executive officer, Sébastien Bismuth, the fashion retailer Jennyfer was placed in receivership last April. Around 350 jobs are expected to be preserved.
"We are proud of the positive decision regarding our takeover bid for Jennyfer," Roland Beaumanoir, chairman of Beaumanoir, said in a statement. "For ten years, in a changing textile market context, attempts to reposition the brand have unfortunately failed, resulting in losses. I am convinced that only takeovers by strong groups like Beaumanoir, offering a coherent ecosystem and adequate resources, succeed. We have proven this with La Halle, Caroll, Sarenza.com and, more recently, with Boardriders Group." Beaumanoir brand rollout
The group indicated it wanted to deploy its brands within the 26 shops taken over from the retailer. This will allow Beaumanoir to "continue and strengthen its territorial network on its current brands", including Morgan and Cache Cache. The group currently has more than 2,700 points of sale worldwide (directly operated shops and affiliate network).
The gradual relaunch of Jennyfer is also on the agenda. The group said it wants to "attract a younger clientele, complementary to the current targets of its brands". This redeployment will first take place via the Sarenza.com marketplace, then through the implementation of specific ranges in its shop network.
"One of the pillars of Beaumanoir Group's success is its ability to finely segment the market and target a wide customer base through a suitable offer and brands," Jérôme Drianno, managing director of Beaumanoir, highlighted. "Jennyfer will enrich the group's portfolio, which currently operates around 20 brands, and will allow it to position itself in a new segment with a younger clientele."
Founded in 1981, Beaumanoir Group achieved a turnover of 3 billion euros in 2024. Since June 2024, the group has operated the lifestyle and outdoor brands once under Boardriders Group for Western Europe, such as Quiksilver, Roxy, Billabong, DC Shoes, Element and RVCA. In addition to its distribution activity, the group owns a logistics subsidiary, C-Log, and the French lifestyle marketplace Sarenza.com. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

‘Nowhere near enough' – Top horse owner rejects £2.2MILLION offer for superstar syndicate filly Shes Perfect
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TOP horse owner said he was 'delighted' to miss out on £2.2million - claiming the offer for his superstar filly was 'nowhere near enough'. Members of the Basher Watts Racing 2 syndicate voted overwhelmingly in favour of rejecting the life-changing sum for Shes Perfect. 1 Basher Watts, third from left, was briefly a Classic-winning owner with his syndicate and filly Shes Perfect - until they were demoted to second Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The Charlie Fellowes-trained three-year-old was first past the post in the French 1,000 Guineas under Kieran Shoemark last month. But, amid boos and cries of 'cheat' in the winner's enclosure, she was demoted and placed second behind Zarigana, with connections also losing their appeal against the decision of French stewards. Shes Perfect returns to action at Chantilly on Sunday in the Group 1 Prix de Diane Longines, where victory is worth 'just' £472,231. The horse was bought for around £42,000 in May last year - meaning, if they had sold to Japanese buyers, the syndicate would have made a 5,138 per cent profit on their investment. It equated, Basher said, to around £20,000 each. But, while much more than they stand to make at the races with her, Basher said the sum was 'nowhere near enough', and added: "Some things are worth more than money." Explaining the deal, the syndicate boss said: "So, what actually happened? "We had a Japanese client approach Charlie and offer £2.2m. "How it works is people own a share of the horse and are entitled to a percentage of the sale which, in this case, after fees, if you own one per cent you would have got about £20,000. "So I put it to the group and 37 out of 38 voted no. "I'm delighted everyone voted no. "For me, I had a dream of getting lucky and owning a Classic, Group 1 runner - a horse who will take you to all the big racecourses… which is what she did. "She might not earn £2.2m in prize money but, we had her valued and, if she never raced again, she'd be worth up to £1m. "So, you're trading the rest of her career for £1m. "That to all of us, and me, is just not worth it. "Those 15 minutes we experienced at Longchamp where we were Classic-winning owners, I would not trade that for any amount of money. "Horse racing is my passion, my love, and this is my dream to be in the poisition we are in. "Some things mean so much more than money and this is one of those moments. We are absolutely living our dream. "If she gets beat on Sunday who cares? As long as she is fit and well we're going to have many fantastic days out with her. "The time to sell will be down to the syndicate only - and at the moment she's not for sale. "Imagine her winning in someone else's silks - I dont know how I'd process that. She's our baby, our dream. "And it's not worth trading in the dream for that amount of money."

Liverpool and Chelsea receive defiant message over £85m star Hugo Ekitike
Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike is one of the most in-demand talents in world football, with Chelsea and Liverpool both keen on a move for the 22-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt CEO Markus Krosche maintains the club don't need so sell Hugo Ekitike amid Premier League interest. Liverpool and Chelsea are both keen on the French frontman, who has been valued at around £85million. The Bundesliga side cashed in on Ekitike's former team-mate Omar Marmoush in January, with the forward joining Manchester City in a £59m deal. They still finished third, thanks in no small part to Ekitike's goals, and booked a return to the Champions League next term. 'If the price isn't right, then he'll just stay with us," Krosche told Wiesbadener Kurier when discussing the player. "We don't have to sell Hugo.' According to Sky Deutschland, Liverpool and Chelsea both remain in the race for Ekitike. However, it appears neither will be able to get a discount on the former Paris Saint-Germain striker. Wiesbadener Kurier reported earlier in the week that Frankfurt are keen on Mainz's Jonathan Burkardt as they look to bolster their attacking ranks. The German international could join Ekitike rather than replacing him, though, with Mainz after a fee north of £25m. Reims-born striker Ekitike burst onto the scene as a teenager with his hometown club, prompting PSG to fork out around £30m to bring him to the Parc des Princes. They took a significant loss when selling him on to Frankfurt in 2024, but the frontman's next move could come for substantially more. Ekitike initially moved to Germany on loan in January 2024, helping Dino Toppmoller's team finish sixth in the Bundesliga. A permanent switch followed, and 15 of his 22 goals this term came in the league as only Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen finished ahead of Toppmoller's side. Chelsea have been busy this month, making a number of signings ahead of their Club World Cup campaign. They weren't able to wrap up a deal for Ekitike in time, though, while fellow targets Jamie Gittens and Mike Maignan have also stayed put for now. Enzo Maresca has been able to include three new arrivals in his squad, though. Liam Delap is involved after joining from Ipswich Town, with Dario Essugo, Mike Penders and Mamadou Sarr also part of the 28-man squad, while there's also a chance for Aaron Anselmino - signed last summer - to make his competitive debut for the Blues following a loan spell at former club Boca Juniors. Chelsea's Club World Cup campaign gets underway on June 16, when they take on Los Angeles FC in Atlanta, with games against Flamengo and Esperance to follow. LAFC were last-minute additions to the competition, winning a play-off against Club America to take the place of Leon in the draw.
