What gets me, is why do all these clothing companies need their own stores? I mean with tools for example you dont have black & decker stores or craftsmen shops.. They sell in other retailer outlets.
It simply makes no sense to me why all these clothing companies need to run brick and mortar stores. Which is the reason they all go bankrupt due to all that overhead.
I understand brands like gap or old navy or victoria secrects having B&M stores because they cater to a full range of clothes or in VS's case its niche..
However why the fuck does a jeans company need a store of it's own?

they mostly have regional distributors and the stores belong to the regional distributor and not diesel...for example the distributor for my country is "fashion company" and they have diesel, replay, tommy hilfiger, levis , guess, calvin clien and 100 other brands...then they rent/buy shop space and distribute...the diesel company HQ just sends them stuff to sell...
true story: the dude that sells pal zilleri in my country got turned down by pal zilleri for a distributor license because serbia was at war at the time...he went in to a pal zilleri shop and said "give me everything"
he purchased literally everything they had in all sizes and did this in 2-3 other shops so that he could stock up...he kept doing this until pal zilleri agreed to give him a license to distribute...
