A chain store of Italian fashion clothing OVS has agreed to enter the Ukrainian market of clothes and will work in partnership with Martex. OVS unites shops and part of the Gruppo Coin with a yearly turnover of 1.63 billion euros. At the same time Maratex bade farewell with his other partner. Shops of popular British clothing brand Peacocks will no longer work in Ukraine. This chain store used to bring together 9 Peacocks stores in Ukraine and 42 in Russia. The cause of the closure of stores in Ukraine and Russia, was the change of owners of Peacocks. The new investor, Scottish Edinburgh Woollen Mil, focused on the development of "the network" in his home market" - said co-owner of Maratex Dmitry Ermolenko, who expects more benefits from cooperation with the OVS. In Ukraine, four former Peacocks stores together with 20 ones in Russia will work under the signboard of OVS.
