New openings for Alain Afflelou

After celebrating its ten-year presence in Switzerland in 2015, the Alain Afflelou group recently opened a new store in Lausanne, the country’s fourth largest city by population. This is the third store managed by franchisee Charly Porteboeuf and joins those in Montreux and Rennaz. The new 205m2 outlet has over 16 meters of window area and offers an assortment of more than 2 thousand eyewear models, 500 of which are sunglasses. In November, another store was opened at Langon in the Gironde department of France, where Alain Afflelou now has 18 outlets. The new openings confirm the group’s objective to grow and increase the ratio of stores abroad by up to 50% of the total (currently 30%), especially in Belgium, Switzerland and Portugal.
