A 70% stake in Slovevenia’s biggest eyewear chain, the 26-branch Optika Clarus, has been purchased by Fielmann AG, a German firm that integrates design, manufacturing and retail, and is responsible for around half the spectacles sold in its home market.
Optika Clarus was founded in 1989 by Tihomir Krstič, who will keep a 30% share of the business and remain involved in its management, and there are plans to open more stores in the near future.
