Pepco Germany Exits Insolvency, Relaunches With 36 Stores

The restart follows a court‑confirmed self‑administration that refocuses the German business on profitability.

Overview

  • The company will leave the insolvency procedure on February 28 after creditor approval and confirmation by the Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg.
  • Pepco closed 28 of 64 German locations and reduced its workforce by about 150 to roughly 350 employees.
  • Restructuring lead Christian Stoffler will depart, with operations now led by Daniel Blaumann alongside Jorge Gervasi and Ľubica Poláková.
  • The shift marks a retreat from earlier expansion goals of up to 2,000 German stores announced after the 2022 market entry.
  • Reporting notes Pepco as a possible bidder for Takko Fashion, a scenario linked by Silver Point Capital’s stakes in both companies.
