Swarovski partnership delivers

The first year of Vindico Retail's partnership with Swarovski has delivered seven new stores, open and earning in Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Pakistan and Lebanon. Projects in Turkey and Saudi Arabia are under way.

Vindico supports the opening and refurbishment of Swarovski stores by planning, executing and closing out each project against the brand's goals, timelines and standards, and represents the brand in its dealings with shopping centre owners, franchisees, partners and store managers through design and fit-out. The firm's background in tenant coordination is what gives it the reading of landlord approvals processes.

Our primary objective is to get units open and earning within given framework of scope, time, quality and budget. Throughout the process, we capture and report on valuable metrics that feed back into our clients' store expansion programmes and business planning. For a brand with almost 2,800 stores in as many as 170 countries, this data is important.

Maryam Patel, Senior Retail Delivery Manager, describes it as a privilege to work with a business recognised for its creative excellence and for its sustainability standards.

Having delivered over 9,000 shops and restaurants across three continents, Vindico works from either side of the transaction under a Brands and Buildings approach, reflecting the growing collaboration between landlords and tenants.

Vindico's role covers the planning, execution and close-out of each store project on behalf of the brand. Each store is built by the brand's contractors, and the properties are owned and operated by their respective landlords.
