Selfridges Group is a retail business that operates 25 department stores (as of January 2024) in four chains across three countries in Europe:[1]
- Arnotts (Ireland)
- Brown Thomas (Ireland)
- De Bijenkorf (The Netherlands)
- Selfridges (United Kingdom)
Selfridges Group, along with KaDeWe Group, is owned by the Central Group from Thailand, which acquired it in 2021 jointly with Austria-based Signa Holding, which lost joint control in late 2023. Shareholders successfully ousted Signa Holding's founder, René Benko, who was pressured to relinquish his voting rights amid the financial turmoil.[2] Central Group and Signa Holding acquired the company from the Canadian Wittington Investments.
