The operator of the fashion business is the same legal entity as the operator of the agricultural business. BriseGroup officials did not return ZF’s calls for comment on the information by press time. They did not say how much fashion contributed to the overall revenue.
Still, its share of the revenue must be low considering BriseGroup is one of the largest businesses in Romania’s agricultural sector, which includes grain trade and retail via Ogorul store chain.
The manager of the fashion division is BriseGroup founder Marius Bucur’s wife. The division has a clothing plant in Constanta County and a network of six stores according to the corporate website. They operate under the Brise brand in Bucharest, Constanta, Iasi and Galati. All the stores are located in malls or shopping centers. The two Brise stores in Bucharest operate in Promenada and Bucuresti Mall.
