Founded in 2008 by the Elicha brothers, The Kooples gained notoriety for its unique combination of rock culture, Parisian style and affordable luxury. Today The Kooples is part of the MF Brands Group, which also includes other well-known labels such as Lacoste, Aigle and Gant. The brand currently operates 289 stores in 21 countries and employs 1,100 people.
Just in time for the booming Christmas business, The Kooples will open a new store in Wertheim Village at the beginning of December – one of the most renowned shopping villages with outlet character in Germany. Wertheim Village has over 110 designer labels and, with its close proximity to Frankfurt, is a popular destination for international customers. The store manager is a key figure in the success of the new The Kooples store in Wertheim Village. This highly responsible position requires a dedicated and sales-focused professional with retail experience who will ensure customers enjoy a first-class shopping experience and sales targets are met. As a store manager, a results-oriented orientation is very important, as is a strong commercial instinct. A love of fashion, a deep understanding of products and a good knowledge of the industry and its current trends are also important qualities.
