Australian department store group Harris Scarfe has secured an alliance with UK-based Debenhams. Harris Scarfe expects its sales to be boosted by about $A100m by the deal to open about 10 stand-alone Debenhams stores in Australia via a franchise agreement. Harris Scarfe also expects revenue to be bolstered by a deal to sell a range of Debenhams’ brands in its stores. The group also intends to open up to 15 new stores in coming years.
