Isn’t C&A a European company rather than a British one.

There's a C&A in Stuttgart too, much to the bewilderment of my British friends visiting us.

C&A is Dutch, but now headquartered in Belgium and Germany.
"The company name is derived from the initials of its founders, Clemens (1818–1902) and August (1819–1892) Brenninkmeijer."

As it’s based in Germany apparently is not surprising there are stores in Germany.
Ahhh I see.
There's a BBC podcast called " Toast " a spinoff from the excellent " Sliced Bread " podcast ( yes, I groaned too ). It gets a business expert to look at various brands that were once prevalent on the High Street but are now no more ( Woolworths features in another episode). There's an episode on the rise and fall of C&A in the UK. Goes into quite some depth, an interesting listen.
