The Manor Group is a Swiss company in retail . Manor AG, headquartered in Basel, is a subsidiary of Maus Frères Holding in Geneva. The group includes the Manor - department stores , the DIY and garden retail companies Jumbo as well as numerous fashion labels ( Lacoste , Gant , Aigle and the Kooples ). The company name Manor - composed of the names Maus and Nordmann - was only created around 1965 when a new corporate identity was established. Since 1994, all department stores in German-speaking Switzerland that belong to the company, and since September 2000 all stores in French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino, have been renamed Manor.
In 2012, the company generated sales of CHF 3.0 billion . With a 61% market share, Manor is the largest Swiss department store chain. The company, which is represented in all parts of the country, employs around 9,100 people and is currently training 340 apprentices. The Manor Group includes 59 Manor department stores, 30 Manor Food supermarkets and 27 Manora restaurants. In total, Manor stocks over a million items from around 2,800 suppliers around the world. Of these, around 700 are local producers who deliver local seasonal products to the Manor Food markets.
The history of Manor begins at the end of the 19th century - indicative of the later development of the company - in the French and German-speaking Biel. Here the brothers and wholesalers Ernest and Henri Maus make friends with their customer, the retailer Léon Nordmann. In 1902 the three businessmen jointly open the “Léon Nordmann” department store on Weggisgasse in Lucerne. It is considered to be the actual origin of today's group of companies. Encouraged by their success in Central Switzerland, the Maus brothers, who have had the Maus Frères wholesale business in Geneva since 1901, encourage their customers to open their own department stores.
