Billabong has opened its third franchised single-brand door in Germany. Located in Hamburg and measuring 140 square meters, it carries also the group's Element line and follows the opening of stores in Berlin and Dortmund. In return, the Australian boardsports brand has closed its first and only corporate store in the country. The shop in Munich did not survive for long after its opening in early 2011.
