The UK-based Mothercare chain, which announced its withdrawal from the Russian market several months ago, is looking to transfer its Russian business, considering JamilCo, its former Russian distributor, as a possible option.
Local analysts estimate the Russian business of Mothercare to be worth RUB2.4–3bn (US$39–49m) annually. As part of the deal, JamilCo could receive the rights to lease stores operating under the Mothercare brand, as well as its stock of goods.
