CroatiaHervis, a well-known chain of sports equipment stores in Croatia, has announced that all of its stores in the country will close on Saturday, July 11. This marks the end of over two decades of operations in the Croatian market. The decision is part of a broader strategic move by the new owner, Austrian firm Quantum Investment Holding GmbH, which acquired Hervis on January 23, 2026, and has decided to focus exclusively on the Austrian market moving forward. As of Monday, July 6, only three Hervis stores remained open in Croatia—located in Split, Zagreb, and Zadar—and these will also close on Saturday. Customers have until the end of business hours on July 11 to take advantage of final discounts, with the entire inventory reduced by at least 50 percent.
