Pepco's German unit files for insolvency to restructure stores
Pepco Germany filed for the proceedings at a Berlin court. The unit operates 64 stores and employs around 500 people. All stores will remain open until further notice.
The company has appointed Christian Stoffler as Chief Restructuring Officer to oversee the process.
"We see good opportunities to realign the store network in Germany so that it can prosper, despite the challenging German retail market," Stoffler said in a statement.
Pepco said its German network had experienced challenges since entering the market in 2022 and is currently making a loss.
The variety discount retailer's parent company has pledged its support for the restructuring process and to provide financing.
Pepco Group was established in 2015. The business specialises in value retail and its products include children's clothing and home decor.

Adidas reports over $13.9 billion in revenue for the first half of 2025
In the second quarter of 2025, Adidas reported a 12% year-over-year increase in revenue at constant currency. In U.S. dollar terms, revenue rose by 2% to $6.84 billion, with a $345 million negative impact due to the strengthening of the euro. For the first half of the year, revenue at constant currency climbed 14%, while dollar-denominated revenue increased by 7% to $13.92 billion. Operating profit reached $1.33 billion, up from $784.3 million, and net income more than doubled, rising by 112% to $933 million. The German sportswear group expects to continue gaining market share and anticipates strong sales growth throughout 2025, forecasting a high single-digit increase in revenue at constant currency. This outlook is supported by sustained double-digit growth of the Adidas brand. The company has reaffirmed its full-year guidance for operating profit, which is projected to range between $1.96 billion and $2.07 billion.
