INNO, formerly branded Galeria Inno, is a Belgian department store chain that operates 16 stores.[3] It is a subsidiary of German Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof.[2]
History
It was founded in 1897 in Brussels as A l'Innovation. INNO was a founder and has remained member of the International Association of Department Stores from 1928 to 2001. Emile Bernheim has been 4 times the president of the Association in 1931, 1935, 1950, 1960.[4]
Since 2001, the chain has been owned by the Galeria Kaufhof group, which was subsequently acquired by Hudson's Bay Company in 2015.[5]
As of February 2023, INNO's current owner, Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof, supposedly plans to spin-off and sell the Belgian INNO branch as part of its own insolvency proceedings.[2]
