BHS is to relaunch online later this week, a month after the failed UK department store retailer closed all its stores. Qatari retail group Al Mana, which owns the Middle East franchise rights for BHS, is behind the new venture, called BHS International. BHS.com will be a smaller operation, with just 84 employees based in London and fewer products initially on offer. It goes live on Sept. 29, selling lighting and home furnishings, which accounted for around three quarters of the most popular online products sold before the retailer fell into administration. Clothing ranges, plus kitchen and dining ranges, are set to go on sale at a later date.
