WHEN people think big retailers, they usually think American retail brands. Footlocker, Sports Authority, Dick’s Sporting Goods, to name a few.
But few people think across the Atlantic, to the European giants.
On Sept. 9, 1968, INTERSPORT International Corporation was founded by 10 national wholesale companies of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
INTERSPORT, a global leader in sporting goods retail, with a turnover of more than 10 billion euro and over 5 800 stores in 45 countries, is now on its 46th country, the Philippines.
On Feb. 8, INTERSPORTS Philippines opened its very first store in Ayala Vertis North Mall, in the bustling heart of Quezon City, through local franchise partner, Planet Sports Incorporated.
As stated by Visionary CEO, Anton Gonzalez: “The sports retail game in the Philippines is changing rapidly, and the Global Pinoy of today demands and deserves only the very best in product quality, value and expert service.”
Ayala Vertis North Mall is Ayala Land’s new retail development in the North, right next to the well-loved Ayala Trinoma Mall.
INTERSPORTS prides itself as being a multi sports specialist, with a sharper focus toward Running, Swimming, Basketball and Performance Training.
“We are committed to offering customers the best products by the best brands. At INTERSPORT, It doesn’t matter what you do, or how fast or slow you do it, the benefits of an active lifestyle are free for everyone to enjoy. Sports offers a multitude of benefits to people of all ages and all walks of life. From beginners to athletes, there’s the right physical activity for everyone.”
