Zeeman expects 'challenging macroeconomic and global developments' in the coming year
In addition, the report discusses the expansion of the stores and the launch of the new store concept. "The quality of the store stock has improved by renovating buildings and by closing less well-performing stores," Zeeman said in the report. At the end of 2022, the textile supermarket had 1313 stores, of which 454 stores in the Netherlands and 267 stores in Belgium. In addition, 2022 is the year in which Zeeman rolled out its webshop to countries such as Germany, Luxembourg, Spain and Austria. In April 2023, Zeeman crossed the Portuguese borders for the first time.
Financially, the company expects the coming year to be dominated by 'challenging macroeconomic and global developments'.
