H&M to reopen Bari store as Dacia Duster sales decline

H&M has announced that its restyled flagship store in Bari, Italy, is scheduled to reopen at the end of November. This location was selected for significant investment and renovation despite the Swedish fashion giant's global reorganization plan, which involves closing 160 stores throughout 2026 following a 10% revenue decline in the first quarter of the year.

In the automotive sector, Dacia Duster sales have seen a significant downturn. In France, registrations dropped by 41% in January 2026 compared to the previous year. Italy has also seen a decline, with sales falling by approximately 10.5% between January and July 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This decline is attributed to factors including the reduction of LPG vehicle shares and production pauses required to meet Euro 6e-bis engine regulations.
