History

The group was founded in 2014 by Signa Holding (at the time owner of German department store Galeria Kaufhof) and was also owned by Beny Steinmetz for a short period. In 2015 Central Group (who own a plethora of department stores in Asia and Europe) acquired a stake in the company.[4]

The construction of a new department store titled Lamarr (after actress Hedy Lamarr) was announced in 2022 to be built in Vienna.[5]

In 2023, Signa Holding filed for bankruptcy and in mid-2024 Central Group purchased 100% of the company.[6][7]

Following the cancellation of Lamarr, Central Group purchased the under-construction Düsseldorf Carsch-Haus store in 2025, saving the project.[8]
