Maus Frères

Maus Frères SA is a Swiss holding company that owns department stores and other loosely related businesses, mostly in Switzerland, but with some major international interests.

Maus Frères (French for "Maus Brothers") was founded in 1902 by wholesalers Ernest and Henri Maus and retailer Léon Nordmann.[1] Its oldest business remains the Manor department store chain, which gets its name from founders' names "Maus" and "Nordmann". Until the early 1990s, Maus also owned Printemps in France and the Bergner's, Carson Pirie Scott, and Boston Store department store chains in the Midwestern United States.
