More & More

More & More GmbH was founded in Munich in 1982 by Karl-Heinz Mohr. The company initially developed as a German fashion retail and ready-to-wear business. Its first More & More store opened in central Munich in 1984, establishing the physical retail format that remained central to the brand's distribution model. In 1990, the company introduced the MORE & MORE WOMAN collection. This launch marked a significant expansion of the brand's product identity and reinforced its position in women's fashion. The available historical account identifies clothing and sportswear among the brand's typical categories, although it does not provide a complete product catalogue or detailed information about individual seasonal lines. Over time, More & More expanded beyond Germany. The brand has been reported as selling in 16 countries through approximately 950 sales points and nearly 200 stores. The named markets include Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, France, Ireland, the Middle East, the Netherlands, Russia and Switzerland. The reported network suggests a mixture of company stores, retail partners and other sales channels, but the supplied sources do not specify the exact ownership or operating model of each location. The company's ownership began to shift in 2002, when Cenk Tekstil and Hedef Dış Ticaret acquired 25 percent of the shares. The reference material describes Hedef Dış Ticaret as the largest shareholder of the German More & More store chain at that stage. In 2016, Cenk Tekstil and Hedef Dış Ticaret acquired the remaining shares, completing their takeover of the brand. Yaşar Eşgin is identified as the owner after this transition. The 2016 ownership change also had an industrial and strategic dimension. Public comments attributed to Eşgin described the transaction as a way to improve More & More's prospects in the global market. The associated production plan called for members of Hedef to manufacture half of More & More's products, while the owners also intended to increase the proportion of production in Turkey and expand the number of More & More stores in Europe. This connected the brand's Munich fashion heritage with Turkish textile production and export capabilities. More & More's documented history is consequently defined by three phases: its Munich foundation and early store development; the creation of a recognizable women's collection and international retail expansion; and the transition to full ownership by Turkish textile and trading interests. The available reference material does not establish detailed annual sales, revenue, current store counts, present corporate headquarters beyond the Munich origin, or a complete account of current management. Those areas require further verification.
