HARVEY NICHOLS QUITS BAKU

-

LUXURY department store Harvey Nichols has made an embarrassi­ng U-turn on its expansion plans by pulling out of a megastore in Baku in Azerbaijan after only two months.

It opened the seven-floor shop in March to great fanfare and chief executive Stacey Cartwright, pictured, was reported at the time to have said the store would ‘offer the ultimate in luxury shopping and hospitalit­y to the discerning customer in Baku’.

However, the group is thought to have fallen out with its licensing partner and the shop will now trade under another name.

A spokesman for the retailer said: ‘Harvey Nichols has terminated its licence agreement with the operator of the Baku store. For legal reasons we are not able to comment further.’
