Overview

• The Bobigny commercial court recorded twelve takeover bids for Jennyfer by the May 13 deadline, following its liquidation in late April.
• Only two of the bids have been classified as serious and well-documented, though both are criticized for failing to preserve a significant number of jobs.
• The leading offer proposes to save 350 out of 999 positions, reflecting the limited scope of potential job retention under current bids.
• Notable bidders include Beaumanoir Group, which aims to acquire 26 stores and retain 160 employees, and a joint bid involving Celio and Pimkie's Salih Hallassi.
• The court will review all proposals on May 28 to determine the viability of any potential repreneur, as Jennyfer's collapse highlights broader challenges in the French fashion retail sector.
