Benetton was huge, bright colored sweaters, multi-racial billboard ads? Supposedly the stores are on their way back, bigger and brighter than ever. The Italian clothing company is heading for a four-year makeover that will cost $526.3 million dollars. They'll spend the money opening stores, refurbishing existing ones (didn't know they were even still around), logistics and factories. Benetton currently sells in 120 countries and has about 5,000 franchised retail stores.
