Brico Dépôt (French pronunciation: ​[bʁiko depo]) is a French chain of DIY and Home Improvement stores, headquartered in Longpont-sur-Orge.[2][3] The chain was created in 1993 by Castorama Dubois Investment, Castorama Dubois was later purchased by the UK Kingfisher Group.[4]

Operations

There are over 100 stores in France. There are also 20 in Spain, 3 in Portugal, and 3 in Poland. In 2013, 15 stores were also opened in Romania after the acquisition and rebranding of the Bricostore chain by Kingfisher, followed by the acquisition of all 27 Praktiker stores in 2017,[5] bringing the number of stores in Romania to 42.

Concept

The store's biggest customer is the Construction and Building trade,[4] as Brico Dépôt sells wholesale and in large stock and quantity. The Brico Dépôt format is largely based on the format of an American Company, The Home Depot.
