600 Douglas employees lose jobs
Germany’s largest perfumery chain Douglas wants to close almost every seventh branch in Germany. With the end of around 60 of the more than 430 branches, the group is reacting to the ever faster shifting of sales to the Internet, said Douglas boss Tina Müller.

Expansion of online trading at Douglas has been planned for some time
Douglas has been trying for a long time to establish itself with perfume and cosmetic products in the highly competitive online trade – and apparently quite successfully. Therefore, sales and distribution via the Internet are to be expanded even more. And for that, branches have to give way.
At the request of RTL, Douglas said in writing last week: “Douglas had already communicated in the summer that, as part of our corporate strategy and against the background of a market environment changed by the corona pandemic, we are subjecting our branch network to an analysis We will include important Christmas business and present the resulting concept at the beginning of the year. Final decisions on this have not yet been made. “
