Conglomerate indefinitely postpones a $1 billion IPO, focusing on store remodeling, job creation, and environmental responsibility.

Despite being a conglomerate boasting ownership of department stores and a banking division, with a workforce exceeding 120,000 individuals, Grupo Coppel opted to indefinitely defer plans for an initial public offering (IPO) exceeding $1 billion in 2018.

“The operation is not in our organization’s plans at this time,” stated a company spokesperson in response to inquiries regarding the deferred IPO.

Coppel’s product offerings include appliances, electronics, furniture, apparel, and banking services.
