The new, urban concept will be specially tailored to the location. The store will contain special showroom elements and will be geared towards an event-based shopping experience through an atmospheric interior design. The assortment will have a focus on the areas of training, running and outdoor. It underlines the INTERSPORT way of promoting the societal trend towards sport, fitness and physical activity and actively advocates sport and health. A large kids’ area is also planned.
Knud Hansen, Managing Director at INTERSPORT Knudsen has stated: “The love of sport is our common drive in the INTERSPORT team. With the opening of our new flagship store, we also want to make our mark in this prime location for high-quality retail at Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier: We want to set an example. Our large investment of around 2 million euros enables us to implement and shape the sports retail of the future on site.”
The CEO of INTERSPORT Deutschland eG, Dr. Alexander v. Preen, continued as such: “We are on a growth course at INTERSPORT and are particularly pleased about this new opening in Hamburg. The HafenCity location has a global appeal, primarily due to a combination of quality and innovation. This is exactly our self-image from tradition and clearly follows our INTERSPORT strategy BEST IN SPORTS, which also focuses on quality.”
“With the INTERSPORT concept store, we are further differentiating our range in the trend segment Sportswear & Fitness and once again sharpening the profile of this unique quarter. The tailor-made concept store perfectly meets our claim of combining exceptional brands, flagship stores and progressive concepts into a finely curated brand mix at Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier.” says Constantin Wiesmann, Director of Leasing Austria & Germany at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.
“We are therefore very excited about this great addition and also particularly pleased that we were able to bring INTERSPORT Knudsen, a real local hero from Northern Germany, on board.”
