British fashion and retail company Frasers Group is poised to acquire the physical shop premises and all shares of sports fashion chain Twin Sport Holding. In addition, Frasers Group is also in negotiations to acquire over 10 former shop locations of bankrupt Sports Unlimited.

Twin Sport is part of the Intersport franchise, has 17 shops in the Netherlands along with a webshop. With that, the company generated around €75 million in turnover in 2023.

Frasers Group is also in negotiations to acquire over ten former shop locations of sports retailer Sports Unlimited Retail, known for Perry Sport, Sprinter and Aktiesport. Sports Unlimited - owned by JD Sports - was declared bankrupt in December.

The acquisition of both Twin Sport and the possible takeover of the former Sprinter shops will increase the presence of Frasers Group's sports shops across the Netherlands. Currently, the holding company already operates in the Netherlands as owner of Sports World. That brand has five shops spread across the Netherlands.

CBRE Netherlands advised Frasers Group in acquisition by advising on the retail real estate.
