About: Tie Rack

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Tie Rack was a British-based tie retailer that sold scarves, cufflinks, and many other items of clothing. The stores were often small due to the nature of the product, and as such, were found in airports, railway stations, and shopping centres across the world. Tie Rack was founded in August 1981 by Roy Bishko. The first store opened in London at 91 Oxford Street; it was converted from a heel bar owned by Bishko from which he had trialled selling ties. In 2007 Fingen Group, Firenze, Italy got the hold of the majority stake.

dbo:abstract
  • Tie Rack je britská oděvní firma, která se specializuje na prodej kravat, šál, manžetových knoflíčků a dalších módních doplňků. Obchody jsou většinou malé a nacházejí se na letištích, nádražích a v nákupních centrech po celém světě. Tie Rack založil v srpnu roku 1981 Roy Bishko. První obchod otevřel v Londýně na Oxford Street a roku 1984 vznikla další pobočka na letišti v Glasgow. Dnes existuje více než 450 obchodů ve 26 zemích. V Česku má tři prodejny, všechny jsou v Praze – v galerii Myslbek v ulici Na Příkopě, v nákupním centru Zličín a na Letišti Václava Havla. V současnosti celý řetězec s doplňky kvůli finančním problémům zavírá prodejny ve Velké Británii. Ve hře je i jeho konec v České republice. Mezi zákazníky Tie Rack přitom patřila například princezna Diana nebo americký prezident George Bush starší. (cs)

The first airport store opened at Glasgow Airport in 1984 and there was a flagship store at 295 Oxford Street opposite John Lewis. At one time, there were over 330 stores in 24 countries. After a phase of consolidation, Tie Rack started to expand again in 2008/09. In July 2009 they had about 260 shops in 26 countries, and about 190 shops in at least 14 countries of the EU, with more than 1,500 employees. In 1999, the chain store was bought by Frangi SpA Group, and, at the time, benefited from this buyout by being able to sell products under the Frangi brand. In 2007 Fingen Group, Firenze, Italy got the hold of the majority stake. (en)
