Maus Frères

Maus Frères SA (French for "Maus Brothers") is a Swiss holding company based in Geneva that owns the Lacoste[1] brand, department stores and other businesses.

It was founded in 1902 by wholesalers Ernest and Henri Maus and retailer Léon Nordmann.[2] Its oldest business remains the Manor department store chain, which gets its name from founders' names "Maus" and "Nordmann". Until the early 1990s, Maus also owned Printemps in France and the Bergner's, Carson Pirie Scott, and Boston Store department store chains in the Midwestern United States.

Maus Frères announced the sale of the DIY brand Jumbo to the Coop group in April 2021.[3]
