Welcome to the Globus.
Globus is an innovative, prestigious department store that makes shopping an unforgettable adventure. Our desire is to constantly surprise our customers with the best services. To achieve this goal, we set ourselves five basic principles: Globus is constantly new, inspiring, original, competent and secular.
At 14 retail outlets, we set standards in all stores around the world. You will find us in the best locations in all major Swiss cities. Our flagship store, opened in 1967 and a lifestyle home in 2005, is located in the heart of downtown Zurich. The next attractive mall was added in September 2010, when we opened a new store at the Geneva Balexert Centre.
Globus caters to everyone with views on quality, aesthetics and innovation. Our department stores meet the quality of life, passion, joy and emotionality. A high level of quality focuses on fashion, beauty, home and consumerism.
Our private brands are in a special position at Globus – they are complemented by carefully selected different brands that are at the top level of the department store with a large number of exclusive and special products. We highlight our products with enthusiasm and constantly change, creative presentations are often inspired by the cultures of other countries.
Zum Globus was founded in 1907 in Zurich. The Globus department store group has been affiliated with the Migros Federation, the largest retail chain in Switzerland, since 1997.
The Globe increased net income by 2% in 2010 to CHF 724.4 million. If revenues are adjusted according to the results of the new store at the Geneva Balexert Center, the growth will be 1.1%. The Globus outlets in Zurich, Lausanne and Bern recorded high growth rates, which helped Globus strengthen its position in the market as Switzerland’s leading premium department store. Our success is ensured by more than 3,500 dedicated employees.
We hope you enjoy spending more than an hour studying Globus.
