 What do you get when you combine variety, quality and trend awareness? That’s right: Tamaris! Always a step ahead, the lifestyle label from Germany’s Wortmann Group impresses with stylish shoes for every occasion and a partner-operated store concept that can look back on a long history of success. The Tamaris system partnership, which has been established on the market for more than ten years, is one of the fastest-growing area concepts in the shoe sector.
 Almost 1000 spaces are currently operated within this partnership system in 32 countries – and a new one is added every week!
Recently, Europe’s number one shoe brand made the leap into Slowakia, represented with a single-brand store in the Shopping Center Central Bratislava. Operated by franchise partner Tailor’s s.r.o., the store presents the world of the popular shoe brand on a total area of 75m². With 9 shops the partner Tailor’s s.r.o. have great experience with different brands for women, men and children. Because of the 8 years cooperation with the Wortmann-Group, Tamaris is a big name for owner Mr. and Mrs. Szabo. They already have Gino Rossi as an attractive concept and with Tamaris they want to establish another one.
Tamaris has been very successful in Hungary and the Czech Republic so Mrs. Szabo is convinced, that the system partnership with the Tamaris brand will be a good performing concept in Slowakia, too.
The link between premium quality products, an unbeatable nose for trends and a unique price-performance ratio make Tamaris a coveted lifestyle brand that makes women’s hearts beat faster.
