Veloz Group

Veloz Group is a Lovian conglomerate company founded by Clarence Shea. The group's core business areas are retail, travel and entertainment

History
In October 2008, businessman Clarence Shea opened a small shop in Noble City, selling clothing and shoes. This business was very successful, and he was later approached by a small group of American businessmen about the possibility of establishing a larger chain.

The Veloz Group was then established in February 2009, with plans to start a small chain of department stores in Lovia. The chain, Veloz Megastores, was established later that year, with locations in Sylvania, later expanding to the other states of Lovia.

Later that year, in October 2009, Shea decided to form Veloz Health Clubs, a medium sized chain of health clubs and gyms. This company was also successful, and by late 2010, the group had managed to acquire 50% of FlyLOVIA from businessman Jacob Ross.

In 2013, the group founded two new subsidiaries, Veloz Vacations and Argentum Restaurants, which aim to start full operations by the end of 2013. The group also has future plans for expansion into international markets, including that of Brunant.
