Target of 100 stores

Over the course of the current 2004/2005 financial year Kingfisher is intending to open a total of seven new Brico Dépôt stores within its French retail channel. The UK group is continuing to pursue its plan of expanding the network of branches in France to a total of 100 stores. The number of Brico Dépôt branches went up by four to 59 in the last financial year.
Since October Kingfisher has been present in the market in Spain with the Brico Dépôt concept under the name of Brico Stock. Here it is intended to add a total of four outlets during the course of the year.
