Salomon started selling footwear and apparel through the internet in France last November, according to reports in the French press. The company has closed down its only mono-brand store in France, which was operating in a shopping center in Lyon, but in the rest of the world it opened 10 more stores in 2010, building up to a global network of 130 doors, only one-fourth of which are company-owned. They are mostly located in Austria, Eastern Europe and South Korea.
