Show retailer Jimmy Choo (London) is for sale.

In 2011, JAB-Holding (Luxembourg) bought Jimmy Choo for $800 million, reports the New York Business Journal. JAB, which recently bought Panera Bread (St. Louis) for $7.5 billion, owns 68 percent of the luxury shoe retailer.

Jimmy Choo’s board of directors said there are no potential buyers yet. The brand was founded by Tamara Mellon in 1996, who was chief creative offer until 2011.
