With nearly 100 stores now across Poland, the Polish fashion brand Monnari expects to launch seven new locations this year. Established in 2000, the Łódź-based company may be adapting to the tough economic times but it still posted a loss of PLN 1.4m for the first quarter of 2012. Still, it’s a 50 percent improvement over the same period last year. The company’s director Mirosław Misztal told parkiet.plo he expects this improvement to continue in the second quarter of 2012.
