History
Hallenstein Glasson Holdings Limited was formed in 1985 through the merger between Hallensteins and Glassons.[7][8]
During the initial COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand, Hallensteins Glassons staff received $5.18 million in wage subsidies from the New Zealand Government, with $2.48 million going to staff in Hallenstein Brothers stores.[9] The company posted $28 million in profit in the 2019-20 financial year and paid a dividend to shareholders, but did not repay the subsidy.[9][10][11]
Hallensteins
Bendix Hallenstein established his first clothing and department store at The Octagon, Dunedin in 1876.[12][13][14][15][16] By 1900, Hallensteins had 34 stores.[12]
In 2017, Hallensteins had 42 stores.[12]
Hallenstein Brothers has launched several campaigns[17][18] featuring collaborations between musicians The Script filmed in Cuba[19][20][21] and motorcross rider Carey Hart filmed at the Bonneville Salt Flats.[22] In 2019 the company launched a campaign with model Laura Evans at the forefront, inviting women to wear their skinny fit suits.[23]
Glassons
Glassons was founded in Christchurch in 1918 by JH Glasson, later joined by his brother CV Glasson. The business was originally a mail-order clothing supplier, but began manufacturing its own clothing, with a focus on womenswear. The original Glassons store operated as a warehouse, selling to the public below retail pricing. Through the mid-20th century, the business expanded to sell clothing for all ages and genders.[24]
In 1958 the business was taken over by JV Glasson, son of the founder. He expanded Glassons to multiple stores in Christchurch. RD Glasson - the widow of JV Glasson - took over the business in 1964. Her son Tim Glasson took over the business in the 1960s and transformed Glassons into a women's fashion retailer with relatively inexpensive pricing. Throughout the later decades of the 20th century, Glassons expanded around New Zealand and to Australia.[25]
