This comes as no surprise to many. Nine Go Sport stores will not be taken over by Intersport, in favor of which justice ruled on Friday, and will therefore definitely close. The 72 other stores of the sign, “corresponding to 90% of jobs”, will be taken over and transformed for the majority into Intersport stores.
BFM TV has obtained the list of Go Sport stores which will therefore definitely close their doors. As the chain specifies on its website, these stores, all located in shopping centers or business areas in the west and south-east of France, have already lowered the curtain.
The Go Sport stores that will close are therefore the following:
- Lann Sevelin business area, in Lanester (Morbihan)
- Casino K’Store shopping mall, in Grenoble (Isère)
- Le Mans Nord business park, in La Chapelle-Saint-Aubin (Sarthe)
- Givors 2 Vallées shopping center, in Givors (Rhône),
- Bourse shopping center, in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône)
- Rising Sun shopping center, in Montélimar (Drôme)
- Saint-Sever shopping mall, in Rouen (Seine-Maritime)
- Center Deux shopping center in Saint-Étienne (Loire)
- Espace de la Motte, in Vesoul (Haute-Saône)
More than 1,600 jobs retained
Intersport has thus undertaken to take over these 72 stores for a price of 35 million euros, once morest 10 million offered by its rival, the British group Frasers-Sports Direct. Currently the second largest player in the distribution of sporting goods in France, Intersport is a “centennial cooperative of nearly 300 French entrepreneurs, operating more than 800 specialized stores” and “employing nearly 18,000 people”, according to the prosecution.
Go Sport, in receivership since January, has some 2,150 jobs and Intersport has offered to keep 1,631 (1,446 of the 1,574 in stores and 185 at headquarters). Go Sport will thus leave the bosom of the Bordeaux businessman Michel Ohayon, himself in the midst of financial and legal turmoil.
