About the 12 Bike World branches
The sale price for 12 out of the 14 branches has not been disclosed. The branches being acquired are located in Affoltern am Albis, Au Wädenswil, Baden, Ebikon, Muri, Payerne, Pratteln, Romanel-sur-Lausanne, Schlieren, St. Gallen, Volketswil, and Zuchwil. These “Thömus Bike World” locations will continue to focus entirely on bicycles in the future. In order to be able to offer customers a choice in all segments, the “Thömus” range will be supplemented with other bike brands as well as textiles and accessories.
“Our entire value chain is characterized by Swissness. We conduct research, design, develop, and produce our bicycles in Switzerland, where we assemble them according to the needs of our customers and sell them directly. With ‘Bike World’, we are further expanding our sales network”, says Thomas Binggeli, (pictured left) owner and CEO of Thömus.
