(etablierte) Schmuckwarenketten


Explanation:
aus dem Zusammenhang geht eigentlich hervor, dass es sich nicht um Einzelhandelsgeschaefte handelt, sondern spezialisierte Ketten, Juwelier ist da mE etwas zu speziell

neutral  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): also ich verstehe das so, dass es hier genau um das Gegenteil von Ketten/Franchise geht, eben um den *klassischen Juwelier*...

agree  Ute Wietfeld: Ich denke schon, dass es Ketten sind, wenn 105 Geschäfte eines dieser Unternehmen geschlossen werden sollen.
