BSB SA was founded by Vassilios & Sophia Bithara in 1980 as a manufacturing company for womens clothing. In 1997, BSB was created and included the activities of previous personal companies of carriers. Nowadays, the company occupies a leading position in the garment industry, 81 BSB shops and BSB points (franchise, corporate shops and shops in shop) and is headquartered in Athens. In parallel, it has also earned a large part of markets supplementary to that of garments, as during the last few years it operates successfully in the field of accessories and footwear, whereas it has also penetrated the market of underwear and swimsuits, thus creating a complete dress profile. The pioneering design of the three collections of the company, combined to the quality specifications it has set, as well as to its intense communication strategy, have rendered the BSB logo highly recognizable by the broad consumer population.

BSB activities are intense abroad too. It already has four stores in Cyprus, three in Lebanon, six in Saudi Arabia, five in Rumania (two in Bucharest, one in Timisoara, one in Kostanza, one in Lasi) and two in Istanbul and one in Cairo, Egypt and one in Tirana, Albania. Whereas the creation of ten more BSB sites has been already planned within a few years. In parallel, it exports to Austria, Armenia, Albania, Bulgaria, Germany, Ireland, FYROM, Turkey; and continues to grow.

The largest number of shops is under the franchising system. Each shop in order to bear the BSB logo, must fulfil all the necessary specifications, set forth by the company, that are related among other things, with the suitability of the contemplated geographic area of operation and the credentials of the prospective business partner.

BSB owns a parallel, alternative network, named “BSB points” which was also developed via the franchising method. Its specifications differentiate it from the main network of the company. It was launched in April 2003 and today numbers 9 shops in Greece and abroad.

Another broad network of 300 co-operating retail stores extends to all major towns of Greece. These shops are chosen with strict criteria, based on their position and the buying power of the prospective client.

This channel of distribution is also developing outside Greece, with the objective of the brand penetrating the foreign markets. BSB has already official representatives in Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, Armenia and Fyrom as well as in Turkey, where BSB operates with its subsidiary company Life Style Agent.

Among the mid-term objectives of the company are the further development of its distribution network in the countries of Central Europe and the European Union.
