Intersport Twinsport, the largest Intersport retailer in the Netherlands with 12 stores, has agreed to take over another five stores from Intersport Duo. The five outlets neatly complement Twinsport's business as they are situated in the province of North Holland, not far from Amsterdam. The Twinsport stores are in other cities from Utrecht to Den Bosch to Tilburg, Leiden, Hengelo and several others, including a store of 1,800 square meters in The Hague that has adopted Intersport's updated retail concept. Peter Snel and Han Berkelaar, the two retailers behind Intersport Duo, had previously indicated that they wanted to sell. The transaction with Intersport Twinsport, which will become effective at the start of next year, ensures that the stores will remain in the Intersport fold. The buyers said in a statement that they had been encouraged by the development of Intersport Nederland, particularly in the area of omni-channel retailing.
