Four new stores for Teddy Corporate Group in France: Terranova and Calliope opening in Toulouse and Angers
Teddy Corporate Group makes an important step for forward in its development announcing the opening of four new stores in France, in the cities of Toulouse and Angers, with new Terranova and Calliope flagships. The stores will open in two shopping centres managed by the Mercialys, the French company owning 59 shopping centres.
The Italian glamour of Calliope makes its debut on the French market while Terranova confirms its presence after opening its first point of sale in Bordeaux in 2013. Calliope is the only Italian low-cost brand offering a glamourous taste for modern, balanced and stylish clothing. On its side, Terranova keyword is easy in order to mark a brand suitable to anyone who wants to live fashion happily every day.
Thanks to the opening of the four stores in France, year 2015 at Teddy Corporate Group becomes increasingly more precious, as it has already been rich in events for the low-cost brands of the Corporate Group as 2015: we still remember the great openings of the Terranova and Calliope flagships in Milan Via Torino in June, Terranova flagship in the city centre of Vienna on October 30th and the two stores to be opened soon in Hanoi, Vietnam. Mercialys is pleased to partner with a growing group and to prove its ability to attract international brands in its centres.

The opening of these stores will not be our last expansion move on the French market: we will go on developing our network in the coming years with both directly managed stores and franchised partners. We are happy to offer French customers our brands and to expand our presence on the French market thanks to a key partner such as Mercialys”, says Pierluigi Marinelli, General Manager Real-Estate, Management & Development.
