Frasers will continue to run the Gordon Street store under the Greaves brand, according to<em> The Herald<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Documents lodged at Companies House show that Greaves changed its name to Clydesdale Sports Retail Limited in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The acquisition adds another brand to the Frasers Group, majority owned by former\u00a0Rangers\u00a0investor Mike Ashley, which owns the eponymous House of Fraser stores, Sports Direct, Evans Cycles and Flannels. It also owns Braehead shopping centre near Glasgow Airport and the Overgate in\u00a0Dundee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It has increased its stake in Hugo Boss to 30.28% after recently tabling a cash offer worth nearly \u20ac2 billion to acquire the German designer brand.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.6.0) simplesharebuttons.com -->           \t            <\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\nif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\nn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script',\n'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n fbq('init', '1192059580980274'); \nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script>#Greaves #snapped #acquisitive #Frasers #Group #Daily #Business<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greaves has changed hands Spec&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[3022,266,265,562,18659,18751,1594,18752],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32174"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/32175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
