“We were not informed of this procedure in advance. In the media, the owner of the brands, Michal Mička, refers to the protection of goods, and the idea that we, as an experienced landlord in this particular case, would approach the detention of goods is very naive. We always approach the exercise of the right of detention with caution and we carefully consider all circumstances, “said CPI manager Petr Brabec.
The real estate businessman Richard Morávek, who owns the Šantovka Gallery in Olomouc, also joined the CPI. “We are considering legal action. I don’t even feel that they would try to find a solution, in fact they did not communicate with us, “said Morávek.
Mička describes the measures taken as an attempt to protect her property from being secured by shopping centers, to which she owes rent. “We took the supplies to a central warehouse. It is about the protection of goods, “Mička told the Seznam Zprávy server, which drew attention to the evacuation of shops.

After the announcement CPI on the taking of legal measures, Mička reiterated that the actions of his holding company were not directed against anyone in particular. “We withdrew stocks purely to protect our assets. Further negotiations will take place outside the media and we will talk about how to resolve the situation, “he said.
In any case, surprises over C2H’s actions are also expressed by the consultants who manage the shopping centers. “Something similar and to such an extent has not yet happened on the Czech market. Most owners and operators were greatly surprised by this approach, because no one was informed about this procedure in advance, “said Tomáš Míček, head of shopping center management at the consulting company CBRE. “This approach does not help the overall situation at all. It will be very difficult for some owners of shopping centers to return to the negotiating table with these brands after this experience, and this may have even worse consequences for these brands, “added the consultant.
Mička described the evacuation of stores as a step in negotiations with shopping centers on new lease terms. Its network, like other retailers, is suffering from a significant drop in sales due to this year’s extraordinary measures. In addition, the C2H Group has large liabilities from issued bonds.

There are a total of 35 Kara stores and 23 Pietro Filipi stores. There are 13 Mickey stores in the shopping centers owned by the CPI group.
“This way of negotiating conditions seems a bit unfortunate to us, with a bit of exaggeration we could call it blackmail. Of course, we will not agree to that in any case, “added Brabec from CPI.
