GRThe article discusses the contrasting fortunes of two Greek department stores, Attica and Notos. Attica has experienced continued growth despite recent challenges such as the pandemic and regional conflicts, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East. This success is attributed to its strategy of focusing on the luxury market and adopting a business model that includes a 100% return policy for suppliers on much of its inventory. In contrast, Notos has struggled significantly, leading to the closure of its flagship store near Omonia, which operated for 113 years and was once a pioneer in the department store sector.
