The company has signed a five-year licensing agreement with Gazal Corporation for the Mambo brand. The agreement covers wholesaling and retailing activity for Mambo throughout Europe (excluding Spain). Blacks Leisure Group will take responsibility for the four UK Mambo stores and will manage the brand’s growth in Europe.
Blacks has also entered into a strategic partnership with Evans Cycles in the UK. This will see Evans Cycles – on an initial trial basis – offer shop-within-shop concessions in some of Blacks’ new, larger out-of-town stores.
