Greenwoods is a chain of menswear stores with headquarters in Bradford, England. == History == The company was founded by Sir Willie Greenwood in 1860 as a hatters shop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=1860.com )〕 At its peak in the 1990s there were around 200 branches of the store.〔 In October 2008, a Chinese retailer expressed an interest in purchasing a 50% stake in the chain. However, whilst negotiations were made, the company was hit badly by the downturn in the Global and British economy in the last quarter of 2008. On 23 January 2009, Greenwoods entered administration and a subsidiary of Harvest Fancy Hong Kong bought 87 of the 92 stores across the UK from the administrators.〔 Prior to entering administration, Greenwoods had a turnover of £25.9m and employed 579 people. Greenwoods had their headquarters in Albion Mills, Greengates, Bradford but have moved to newly built premises on the Shipley Airedale Road nearer the city centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greenwoods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
