Luxottica's CEO, Andrea Guerra, noted that as the company comes off the second quarter with record sales and profits, he is looking forward to the rest of the year, according to a story in Vision Monday. Reportedly its North American retail brands did well except for Pearle.
The article also noted: "Guerra cited about 10 'special projects' that are underway, designed to help boost second-half results. Included among those are the wholesale division’s upcoming launches of the Chanel Bouton, Prada Swing, Tiffany Key and Burberry April shower eyewear collections. On the retail side, LensCrafters is preparing a strong back-to-school promotional effort, according to Guerra, who also expects sales gains to be generated by the new Sunglass Hut store design launched in April."
