Zalando Stores Experiences & Clearance Solutions is a retail-focused business unit, responsible for managing overstock from across the entire Zalando Group. We operate 16 (and counting) physical outlet stores across Germany, the Zalando Beauty Station in Berlin, and various other overstock channels.
