Intersport Germany has announced that about two-thirds of the customers who have a made a purchase on its online store in the last couple of weeks made another purchase at a later point. About 370 affiliated retailers are already connected to the platform, achieving sales in a range around €50 million via the platform in the past few weeks. The short preparation time before their stores were allowed to re-open on April 21 was not a problem for most retailers, as they had prepared themselves for this scenario. However, Textilwirtschaft was told that talking to the suppliers has proven sometimes more difficult for them than talking to the banks, especially when it came to cancelling orders for the next autumn/winter season.
