Heppo.com is an online shoes and accessories retailer founded by CDON Group in August 2010. The online store was developed and launched in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland within only five months and is now one of the fastest growing online stores in the Nordics. Today the store further strengthens its position and presence in Europe by launching a local store developed for the Dutch market.
Paul Fischbein, President and CEO of CDON Group commented: “The Netherland launch is an exciting opportunity for us to strengthen our presence in a very interesting market. The Netherlands is an important country in the European e-retail economy and a market with a sustained high growth. We are confident that Heppo.nl has an attractive customer offering that is well suited for the market.”
“We continue to capitalize on the infrastructure that we have created within the Fashion segment, where we previously established our fashion retailer Nelly.com in the Netherlands. When Nelly.coms ongoing warehouse transfer is completed, the entire segment's flow of goods will be integrated.”
Heppo.nl offers a wide range of fashionable, functional and classic shoes from more than 300 different brands - there are shoes for all people and for all occasions.
