Arcadia Group eyes global expansion

The Arcadia Group, owned by retail mogul Sir Philip Green, is to increase its international presence through global expansion.

The Group's portfolio, which includes Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins, has revealed plans to expand Green's empire into a global operation, including most of the world’s biggest markets, within the next three years.

Through his Arcadia Group Green has had a team in China for the past three months and he is also ‘seriously considering’ the potential of India.

It emerged this weekend that Green has signed a deal to open his first outlets in Germany with another major department store group, Karstadt, which has agreed to stock his Wallis and Evans fashion brands.
