Macintosh Retail Group has sold its Scapino chain of shoe shops to a Dutch shoe retailer, H. Ziengs, and its Brantano chain of 130 stores in Belgium to Brantnew, a new group formed by three other local retailers. Ziengs will take over only between 140 and 180 out of the 200 Scapino stores in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Brantano in the U.K. has been placed in administration, a form of bankruptcy protection. Macintosh had sold the British chain to an investment fund, Alteri Investors. More in Shoe Intelligence.
