MILAN (AIMnews.it) - In the first half of 2018, Portobello recorded revenues of 8.15 million euro, an increase of around 300% on the same period of the previous year. A trend that can be replicated in the next few years, according to Roberto Panfili, COO of the company, who spoke at the 5th edition of the AIM Investor Day of IR Top Consulting. Supporting the company's growth is the business model that allows the company to use the trade of goods as a competitive element. "In 2019 - adds Panfili - the franchise network will begin and there will be new openings of our stores. We will also be focusing online but with a more measured approach because our goal is to bring people back to the stores, where they can find competitive prices to the web."
