Mr. Bricolage expands its involvement in Africa

Mr. Bricolage is planning further expansion in Africa. There are to be locations in Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Togo with the Yeshi Group as master franchiser. In 2014 the French DIY group already closed a master franchise contract with Yeshi for the Ivory Coast, Gabon, Senegal and Congo. A first opening is now scheduled for the first half of 2018 in the Ivory Coast. In June 2017 the fifth Moroccan Mr. Bricolage store in Casablanca was already opened.
In contrast, Mr. Bricolage has pulled out of South America and closed its stores in Uruguay and Colombia in 2017. The last store in Romania was also closed.
