Did you hear?… Globetrotter to open its sixth store

Globetrotter of Germany is opening is sixth and largest store on March 2 in Berlin. Its current Berlin store will close when this one — in a former central bus station — opens. Already, Hamburg-based Globetrotter operates stores in Hamburg (2), Bonn, Dresden, Frankfurt, and Berlin. But this one will surpass the others in size (larger than a soccer field) and breadth (customers will be able to test everything from sleeping bags to canoes on-site). In addition, Jack Wolfskin will offer a 400-square-meter (4,300 square feet) concept shop, and there will also be an Internet Café, travel bureau, and children’s play area for customers.
