The Hamburg fashion jewelry chain Bijou Brigitte mode Accessoires AG was able to achieve a solid increase in sales in the 2023 financial year.
According to preliminary figures, revenues reached 327.6 million euros last year, exceeding the 2022 level by 6.9 percent, the company announced on Tuesday. The development was therefore in line with expectations: Management had previously forecast sales in the range of 320 to 340 million euros.
The retailer explained that it was possible to “close out 2023 with a successful Christmas business.” The company also highlighted that despite a branch network reduced by 145 locations, revenues were only 1.9 percent below the level of the pre-Corona year 2019.
At the end of December, Bijou Brigitte said it had 897 branches. A year earlier there were 902. The company plans to present further results for 2023 “probably in the second half of March”.
