Selfridges Group was a holding company of European department stores.
At the time of its acquisition by the Central Group and Signa Holding in 2022, it owned the full-line stores Arnotts and Brown Thomas in Ireland, De Bijenkorf in the Netherlands, and Selfridges in the United Kingdom.
The company previously owned the Canadian department stores Holt Renfrew and Ogilvy, both of which the Weston family retained in the acquisition.
Signa Holdings' 40-percent stake in the acquisition was acquired by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund in 2024.
Shareholders successfully ousted Signa Holding's founder, René Benko, who was pressured to relinquish his voting rights amid the financial turmoil.
