Debenhams to offer Clarks as part of footwear expansion drive

23/08/2012

UK footwear brand Clarks is to find a new home in Debenhams from September, as it launches its shoes there for the first time.

The launch is part of a plan to expand Debenhams' footwear departments by up to 25% by the end of the year, according to Drapers. It will offer new international brands and upgrade and expand shopfitting to take account of the growth, it said.

Clarks sells more than 50 million pairs of shoes every year in 35 countries and is aiming to double its turnover and profitability by 2015.
