Intersport France is growing rapidly in the mountain resorts, where 18 new stores joined the cooperative so far this year, building up to a total of 206 units specializing in snow and outdoor sports. Thanks to the new store openings, the retailers affiliated with Intersport in the mountain resorts have seen their revenues increase by 8 percent so far this year. Their share of Intersport's total retail turnover in France is expected to grow from 18 to 25 percent by 2015. The cooperative has a goal of reaching total annual retail sales of €1.9 billion in three years' time, up from €1.4 billion at present, partly through the addition of 90 more stores, 50 of which should be located in the mountains.
