envelo is a clothing firm originally from the Czech Republic formed in 1989. It currently operates approximately 270 stores in 19 countries: Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Israel, Bulgaria, Russia, Austria, United Kingdom, Lithuania, Belarus, Albania, Latvia, Estonia, Malta, Ukraine, Serbia, and Germany. The company was started by two Israelis who could not get the company started in Israel, so they needed a location in Europe to help the business take off. The name "Kenvelo" comes from the Hebrew words for yes and no (כן ולא). They couldn't decide what to name the store, so they ended up with yes and no.[citation needed]
