FLY (since April 2012 Fly (Schweiz) AG ) was a Swiss furniture chain based in Egerkingen .
history
The company, founded in 1998, belonged to the Swiss Manor Group until March 2012 and was operated as a franchisee until then . On April 1, 2012, the franchise agreement with Fly France was terminated and the Swiss chain was sold to the French parent company.
In 2012, FLY operated a total of 19 furniture stores in Switzerland and achieved sales of around 106 million Swiss francs with around 330 employees . Under the Manor Group , FLY achieved a turnover of 118 million Swiss francs in 2011, after 127.8 million in 2010 and 136 million in 2009 (at that time still with 20 branches).
In February 2014 it became known that the Swiss subsidiary of the French furniture retailer Conforama was taking over Fly (Schweiz) AG. In the course of the takeover, 3 of the existing 19 branches were switched to Conforama and a further 6 to Lipo Einrichtungsmärkte, a sister company of Conforama in the Steinhoff Group . The other 10 branches were initially retained as Fly.
In January 2015, the company was finally completely taken over by Conforama, and the closure of nine of the ten remaining branches and the head office at the end of March and April 2015, respectively, was announced.
