SIA 'Euroskor Latvijā', a prominent shoe retailer in Latvia, has announced its decision to initiate liquidation in the coming month, as indicated in the management report of the company's annual financial statement. The company has not provided detailed comments on the reasons behind this liquidation, although previous reports suggested a gradual closure of seven retail locations throughout the past year, which included stores in Ventspils and several other smaller towns.

In the previous year, 'Euroskor Latvijā' reported a turnover of €1.596 million, a decrease of 26.4% compared to 2024, which reflects the challenges the company faced in maintaining its market position. Additionally, the company experienced a significant increase in losses, which rose by 64% to reach €334,778, as per information from 'Firmas.lv'. Given the downward trend in sales along with an increase in operational losses, the decision to liquidate seems to be a strategic move for the company aimed at minimizing further financial damage.

Founded in 1991, 'Euroskor Latvijā' is owned by SIA 'AZ Holding', with major ownership held by Jānis Anderson (75%) and Ērikas Zarahovičs (20%). The retailer's exit from the market could have implications for the local shoe retail sector as well as for the employees and stakeholders involved, highlighting broader trends of economic challenges faced by brick-and-mortar retailers in Latvia amidst changing consumer preferences and economic conditions.
