China Dongxiang Group Co. Ltd. reported same-store sales at its Kappa brand stores in the People's Republic of China increased 21.5 percent in the second quarter compared with the same period a year earlier.

There were a total of 1,231 Kappa retail stores at the end of the second quarter of 2015, representing a net increase of 21 stores as compared with the end of 2014. China Dongxiang also disclosed that wholesale orders for the Kappa brand are running up in the low double-digits compared with a year ago.

“The spectacular retail operating figures for Kappa are mainly attributable to efforts to streamline our brands and our business, sales and supply-chain models, which have gradually facilitated the revolutionary transition of our previous 'wholesale' model to the new 'brand + retail' model.”
