Draft:Boozt

  • Comment: Hello and thank you for this helpful note. I have carefully re-read WP:LLM and reviewed the draft in detail. I do not believe any artefacts remain, particularly as I only used ChatGPT marginally in drafting this article. I am therefore re-submitting this draft for review.

  • Comment: Contains references with "source=chatgpt.com" in the URL. I have made no judgement on the rest of the draft content, but since ChatGPT has been used in the creation of this draft you must read WP:LLM and carefully review all the content of the draft to check for hallucinations, unsubstantiated text, non-existent references.
    If you are sure that no ChatGPT artefacts remain, you can re-submit this draft for review. qcne (talk) 20:54, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Awards that are not notable in themselves should not be included (and "Postnord logistics award" doesn't exactly inspire confidence!)
    I think Boozt may well be notable, but the draft is rather one-sided, with lots of minor details about run-of-the-mill matters, and nothing about the well-publicised criticism from Arbetsmiljöverket a couple of years ago, for instance. The staff list is irrelevant in an encyclopaedia article, and most of it has no source – where does the info about how long people have been with the company come from? (It makes no difference, because again, those details don't belong in the draft.) bonadea contributions talk 21:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Boozt (Boozt Fashion AB) is a Nordic multi-brand online department store founded in 2007 and headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. The company sells its products across several European countries. It is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stockholm and Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchanges.

History

[edit]

Boozt was founded in 2007. The company assumed its current form in 2011 with the launch of the Boozt.com website and the establishment of a multi-brand online clothing store.[1][2]

Its main initial shareholders included the shoe manufacturer Ecco, the private equity firm Sunstone Capital, and the Norwegian fund Verdane[3].

The company experienced significant growth during its early years, leading to its initial public offering on the Nasdaq Stockholm en 2017 and subsequent public offering on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchanges in 2020.[4][5] In the same year, it expanded its product range to include cosmetics alongside clothing.[6] Initially focused on fashion, Boozt gradually developed into a multi-brand online department store.[7]

In 2023, Boozt blocked around 42,000 customers due to excessive returns, stating that such practices are harmful both to the business and the environment[8]. In 2024, the company reported having blocked nearly 60,000 customer accounts for the same reasons[9].

Operations

[edit]

Boozt operates as a multi-brand online department store in several European countries.[8][9] As of 2022, it was the largest e-commerce company in Sweden, with a turnover of 6.7 billion Swedish kronor, approximately USD 600 million at 2022 exchange rates and a net profit of SEK 186 million, approximately USD 18 million at 2022 exchange rates.[10][11]

The company’s headquarters are located in Malmö, Sweden.[12][13] Its warehouse is in Ängelholm, also in Sweden,[14] and is an automated facility with 1,300 robots navigating 1.2 million storage compartments. The warehouse covers 88,000 square meters, employs 500 people, and handles over 10 million distinct items.[2]

Boozt has more than 1,200 employees.[8] The Danish Hermann Haraldsson has served as CEO since 2011, and the Swedish Sandra Gadd has been CFO since 2016.[11] The typical Boozt customer is a woman aged 35–50 who shops for herself and other members of her family.[11]

The company has been a partner of the Stockholm School of Economics since 2023.[11][15]
