Polish Enterprise Fund VII (PEF VII), a private equity fund managed by Enterprise Investors (EI), today announced the sale of Intersport ISI, a leading sporting-goods retailer headquartered in Slovenia and operating throughout the Adriatic region. The company will be acquired by Intersport Austria. The value of the transaction, which requires antimonopoly approval, was not disclosed.
Intersport ISI is one of the largest sporting-goods retailers in the region, offering a broad product range supported by strong partnerships with both global brands and Intersport exclusive brands. The company enjoys brand awareness exceeding 90% across its key markets and benefits from favorable consumer trends, including rising disposable income, growing participation in sports and sustained tourist inflows across the Adriatic region that outnumber its population of 23 million.
The company operates 110 own brick-and-mortar stores as well as a chain of 40 sub-franchises and holds leading market positions across the former Yugoslav countries. Its performance is driven by an efficient omnichannel model that integrates Click & Collect, effective home-delivery solutions, an upgraded e‑commerce platform and a well-invested network of modern stores. Intersport ISI is managed by an experienced leadership team and is expected to generate close to EUR 140 million in 2025.
