Manor

Brothers Ernest and Henri Maus together with Léon Nordmann opened their first department store in Lucerne in 1902, under the “Léon Nordmann” name. The more familiar “Manor” – a combination of the founders’ Maus and Nordmann surnames – did not appear until a new corporate identity was adopted in about 1965.

All the company’s department stores in German-speaking Switzerland have borne the Manor name since 1994, and all the stores in the rest of the country have carried the name since September 2000.

In 2000, it acquired Innovazione, the leading retailer in Ticino. Although the Ticino-based company abandoned the Innovazione name, it retained an autonomous designation as Manor Sud SA.
